The project joins 2 topics apparently, the European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018 and the foreigners&migration&refugee issues. Cultural heritage brings people together and contributes to more cohesive societies, it is central to Europe’s exchanges with the rest of the world. This is a great potential for Europe and it must be better exploited. For this reason we wanted to celebrate all together European Year of Cultural Heritage 2018, to see the common cultural elements that we share (all the countries of the project), how we share customs and influence in each other culture, how we conform Europe. We also wanted to bring the aspect of migration (also refugee). Not because is trendy topic, but because we want to correct prejudices and false messages that promote discrimination. The countries who were bridges between people (countries) have richer traditions and culture. Many of our elements what we consider traditional and typical (food, dance, etc.) from our country has its origin in other culture, that thanks to move of people (migration) come to us. In our project, participants coming from different cultures motivated to discover common points by several type of activities. General Objectives: -Encourage young people to explore Europe's rich and diverse cultural heritage and reinforce a sense of belonging to a common European space. -Develop intercultural skills of participants through creative activities (socks theater, cart game, drama). -Discover how rumours and prejudices prevent good relations among people, especially against migrants and refugees.
