Multicultural societies are a growing phenomenon. In countries like France, Germany and Italy, for example, issues concerning media and minorities are being considered. This development challenges Mira Media to approach its activities from an international perspective. This is partly out of solidarity, partly because this approach can lead to interesting added value. Examples of this are the exchange of expertise, products and good practice with sister organisations abroad.

Since 1992 - particularly since 1996 - Mira Media has played an important role in establishing several trans-national projects concerning media and minorities. Supported by EU funds, Mira Media initiated, developed, co-ordinated and implemented a range of diverse projects of which On Line/More Colour in the Media is one. This European umbrella organisation spawned numerous trans-national projects in diverse areas such as: employment, career orientation, research and media-education. Possibilities have been created for the exchange of multicultural programmes and projects of good practice. Networks of community media centres and local (multicultural) radio stations have been established.

The projects and activities the On Line/More Colour in the Media-network initiated are presented on the world wide web in a virtual skyscraper; The Multicultural Skyscraper.
