This seminar took place in London on the 13/14 November, co-chaired by Pierre Joxe and Trevor Phillips. The seminar was enriched by the contributions of HRH Prince Hassan of Jordan and David Lammy, MP for Tottenham and Culture Minister, who highlighted the fact that he is one of a handful of minority ethnic elected government ministers in the whole of the EU. The afternoon was spent in break-out groups focusing on education, culture and employment. Proposals to face and overcome the Challenges of Diversity included: - the creation of an organisation, to identify and support ethnic minority cultural and sports leaders - the collection of more and better data in both countries - encouraging the private sector to set targets and create accountability, and to develop more partnerships with local communities.
