PROJECT OBJECTIVES AND STRATEGY
UNESCO‘s Convention on the protection and promotion of the diversity of cultural expressions (20.10.2005); objectives concerning recognition and promotion of cultural diversity, intercultural dialogue and sustainable development form the basics of our specific objectives.
- To share and put main common cultural heritage at European level; encouragement of implementations related with dissemination and protection of technical information will lead to reaching the target;
- To create conditions to disseminate tolerance within the framework of cultural richness and diversity and introduce this wealth; to create awareness that diversity is a part of national culture;
- To provide appropriate environment for development and support of traditional folk art and visual, phonetic and performing arts and promote them;
- To show a greater sensitivity in taking under protection of architectural works that reflects our tangible cultural heritage;
- To develop presentation of tales, stories, legends, bickering which have an important place in the oral tradition of intangible culture;
The problems we intend to address are;
1- Cultural prejudices between countries,
2- Lack of recognition of differences between the countries,
3- Lack of communication, mutual respect and understanding,
4- The necessity of joint participation and cooperation for economic and social sustainability,
5- Lack of awareness of common heritage due to migration, globalization and cultural assimilation
With this project we will give the chance to our main target group, the owners of future, young people recognizing different cultures and their own culture. With the activities they will develop a consciousness of their culture. They will live their cultural values and will have the enjoyment of promoting them. That is why all our activities are students oriented and can be only accomplished with their participation. Depending on the nature of activities in each country, equal numbers of boys and girls will take active role. They will find a common language by means of art.
The project will broaden the students view upon the world, as having various cultural elements. Multilateral cooperation will encourage the students to communicate in English and to develop their linguistic abilities by interacting with other students of different nationalities and cultures. Students will develop artistic abilities, will learn to use IT means in order to create the necessary materials for the project.
