Project “OUR today’s EUROPEan traditions are the pasts’ migrating cultures”

(OUR EUROPE)

 

 

 

"OUR today’s EUROPEan traditions are the pasts’ migrating cultures" (OUR EUROPE) is a project involving members of the Network "I Care for Europe" (Est. in Dec 2013) coming from 5 countries:

 

  • Bosnia and Herzegovina – Municipality of Čapljina, Municipality of Stolac

  • Croatia – City of Rab, Municipality of Rakovica

  • Italy – Municipality of Aquileia, Municipality of Recanati, City of Tarcento

  • Slovenia – Municipality of Piran and

  • Serbia – Municipality of Bač which is host to this 5th meeting of the members of the Network.

 

These small towns have preserved the cultural & natural heritage on their territories which has already been recognized as UNESCO "World Heritage" (or is on the Tentative list to be declared) as well as the heritage of European significance in terms of historical, social & natural values.

They share a common "small town" dimension, characterized by similar opportunities, problems and challenges. Tradition and customs that contribute to multicultural richness - the peculiarities of Europe - are preserved in their territories which, at the same time, represent the cradle of our common European Culture and History.

 

The aims of this project involving local communities, in particular representatives of cultural, youth & local minorities' associations, local schools, local stakeholders & administrators, in participatory activities before, during and after the Final event in Bač are:

 

1. Debates on the sustainable future of small towns, characterized by rich cultural heritage, within EU programs and policies

2. Increasing knowledge and awareness of local cultures and traditions (part of today's European identity) enriched with the cultures and traditions that have been brought by "migrants" in the past

3. Mutual exchange of examples of good practice for valorisation of local cultural resources

4. Enhancing the potential of the Network by training local stakeholders

5. Further strenghtening of European cohesion.
