Rise of Indian Diaspora in Europe

After organising three successful conferences, The Foundation for Indian Diaspora in Europe (FIDE) decided to organize the next conference this year on Sunday, September 29, 2013 with the theme: The Rise of the Indian Diaspora in Europe. The earlier conferences organized were: European Pravasi Bharatiya Divas (2009) and two conferences of the Indian Diaspora in the Netherlands (2011 & 2012).

The objectives of the conference are:

1. To evaluate the achievements of the Indian Diaspora in Europe in general, and in the Netherlands in particular
2. To explore the possibilities of enhancing strength and visibility of Indian Diaspora in the different sectors of economic and social activities in Europe.

• Role models of Indian Diaspora from different European countries will be invited to share their achievements and strategies of their success.
• Special attention will be given to socially active youth, male and female who are the future torchbearers of the community.
• Dignitaries from the political arena will be invited to share their thoughts to interact with the conference participants.
• The cultural session at the end of the conference will include the famous Dhoad Gypsie dancers from Rajasthan and other well-known local artists.

This year we have chosen for a interesting venue for the conference, which is, is the Louwman Museum in The Hague. The Museum is home to the world’s oldest private collection of motor cars, compiled by two generations of the Louwman family. The museum dates back to 1934 and now comprises over two hundred and thirty antique and classic motor cars. Experts regard the collection as one of the most beautiful in the World. The museum exudes passion. Each car has its own story to tell, its own contribution to history.
