The 8th Session of the ECP was held in Gothenburg, Sweden. Karl-Erik Norrman, founder of ECP and former Swedish ambassador, opened the 8th session with a warm welcoming to Gothenburg. Karl-Erik Norrman also introduced the theme of the year, Quality and Reflection in Culture and Media – Prerequisites for European Democracy: “The new global situation creates crises in media. We have reason to be worried and to stand up in defence of quality, both in culture and in media. If we are striving for a democratic world, we should encourage the 7 billion world population to be quality conscious. This year we therefore dedicated the theme of our session to quality – “Quality and Reflection in Culture and Media – Prerequisites for European Democracy”

Quality is not a goal in itself; it’s an instrument of improving democracy.”
