Forum 2004, Barcelona

The first web in Spain for foreing residents

The Forum 2004 in Barcelona was an unprecedented international event which in the end did not really live up to the expectation caused, and ended up being a very expensive event. This is the page we prepared to describe the programme to could-be visitors.

The Forum is dedicated to the principles of Cultural Diversity, World Peace and Sustainable Economic Development. 5 million people are expected to join together in Barcelona to share, discuss, learn, and discover how we can all contribute to a better world.

There are 45 Dialogues on the most important issues of our time with recognized experts, distinguished speakers, celebrated personalities and dedicated people like you offering real solutions—and converting words to action.

Program of dialogues:
Science, Knowledge and Sustainable Development	New Agents, New Dynamics
Cultural Diversity and the Media	Living Together
The Word	Freedom, Security and Peace
Globalization and Development	The Role of Education
Some unheard voices: Women, youth, intergenerational and intercultural communication
