The network includes Dublin, Oslo, Copenhagen, Geneva, Lisbon, Lyon, London's Lewisham district and Amsterdam's South-East borough and think globally, act locally to build a society where minorities will belong and flourish. That was one insight that emerged from a symposium on interculturalism that brought together experts from Europe, Quebec and English Canada. As the three-day conference drew to a close Friday, Bouchard said it had already started to produce results: Montreal has opened talks with a European network of 21 intercultural cities with a view to joining.
