Cultural diversity is a must

Owing to its openness, Lublin is a city that has complied with the idea of multiculturalism for ages. This is why today we can easily find here symbols of various cultures and minorities. Soon, we will have a chance to get to know better how they coexist and intermingle. Next week, a series of art presentations will take place in Lublin as a part of the Multicultural Lublin 2010 project.
