From the Ambassadors:
“Its part of our mission to reach out to a country – not just to government officials but to people, especially in a city that is so open and welcoming and we believe art and culture are efficient tools for this. We may not reach out to 90 per cent of the population but if we can reach out to just a few per cent, to the open minded and the curious, and especially to the youth, we believe we can make a difference”
H.E. Pierre Buhler, Ambassador of France
The Peak Magazine, June 2008
“Encore! Creates this remarkable platform of creativity and civilization that will enable all of us – Singaporeans and Europeans – to value the character and quality of our way of life here, and to achieve a richer understanding of what we share and mean to one another”
H.E. Richard O’ Brien, Ambassador of Ireland
The Peak Magazine, June 2008
“Encore! Is quintessentially an expression of European soul – it provides a platform to show how diversified yet uniquely intertwined the cultures of the EU are”
H.E. Boguslaw Marcin Majewki, Ambassador of Poland
The Peak Magazine, June 2008
“A number of happenings, movie screenings, performing and visual arts events will help bring the European Union closer to the public”
