32. Welcomes the new 'Black Sea Synergy' regional cooperation initiative, which supplements the ENP in the Black Sea region by proposing, inter alia, to improve border management and customs cooperation at regional level and to stimulate regional dialogue with civil society; considers that work on a strengthened and coherent engagement towards the Black Sea area could build on the experience gained within the framework of the Barcelona Process and the Northern Dimension; insists that the priorities of this regional approach should be freedom, justice and security, democracy, respect for international law and civil society cooperation.

We should also look at the decades of efforts of other communities such as Canada's Black community in using Black History Month in educating all Canadian youth on the contribution of the Black Canadian community to Canadian society as an example.
