Minority policies in Europe: Where are we heading?
The 1990s are generally perceived as the Golden Years of minority rights in Europe. Is this still the case – and if not, what has changed? Where are minority policies in Europe heading? How might Brexit affect the rights of national minorities in Britain?
Think tank Magma and Coppieters Foundation warmly welcome you to discuss these and other topical issues at our seminar and discussion.
