In a broader view, social integration is a dynamic and structured process in which all members participate in dialogue to achieve and maintain peaceful social relations. Social integration is focused on the need to move toward a safe, stable and just society by mending conditions of social disintegration, social exclusion, social fragmentation, exclusion and polarization, and by expanding and strengthening conditions of social integration towards peaceful social relations of coexistence, collaboration and cohesion.
The cultural activities organized by EU Diaspora Council support creativity and self-expression but also work as a "bridge" for bringing together and understanding people coming from different cultural backgrounds. These activities are based on the premise that cultural integration can assist in realizing a holistic social integration, both in terms of equal access to cultural goods but also in regards to reinforcing social cohesion.
