ABSTRACT
This chapter discusses the ways in which these starkly diverging movements have been evident across Europe, and explores the ways these may be affected by social policy. Most impressive features of the growth of visible youth cultural products by young members of minority ethnic communities is the facility with which they transcend linguistic boundaries. Perhaps even more pervasive have been the transformations in youth musical culture throughout Europe. The elaboration of technological components of the music scene has also brought with it a further shift. Another area of considerable cultural importance with regard to interculturalism and youth is sport, both with regard to participation and as a spectator activity. Despite the broad trend towards forms of spontaneous interculturalism and anti-racism amongst young people, minority ethnic youth across Europe suffer the effects of social exclusion and racism. Greenwich Council, in south London, have published a manual to go with the video and have trained youth workers in its use.
