WHAT IS ALTER EGO?
Alter Ego is one of the seven flagship projects chosen by the European Commission to celebrate the Year of Intercultural Dialogue 2008. The project is a EUNIC (European Union National Institutes for Culture) initiative and is running Europe-wide in 22 member states.

ALTER EGO COMPETITION
The aim of the Alter Ego Competition is to promote intercultural dialogue and cross-cultural understanding. Young people between the ages of 14 and 18 are invited to create artworks showing a portrait of themselves and their 'Alter Ego'.

The competition and wrap-around activities encourage active European citizenship among young people through collaborative art projects.
