A diverse range of ethnic groups and nationalities characterizes the European Union.

Migrants arrive from all over the world, following new migration patterns.
Immigrants in European cities are undoubtedly on the rise. Some of them settle and adapt culturally to their new surroundings, enriching the local culture and the diversity of ethnocultural identities.
