Here is shortly our idea:
In last months we could observe more and more discussions about cultural identity, protection of own culture and about multiculturalism at otherside. One of ways how to speak and learn about our cultural identity is to see and know our cultural heritage as of our nation and culture. But youngsters in majority don´t like to go, get to know and learn about their cultural heritage, monuments and everything what there left our fathers. We see one of problems of this fact, that presentation of cultural heritage is not so interesting for young people. Informations and presentations about monuments in each country is done mostly by adults and really educated adults on this fields. And than youngsters don´t know that they can better understand culture, cultural difference and values of each country when they get to know better their cultural heritage. Our project idea is to bring together youngsters from different european corners in Slovakia and at example of our slovak historical monuments and cultural heritage to learn about cultural identity and differences, to lead intercultural dialogue and at first place: to discuss and prepare activities for better promotion and getting to know of cultural heritage by young people for young people, for example with using digital technologies, taking photos... We will use example of Slovak country with our heritage as old towns, folk architecture, churches, industrial monuments... but we will prepare activities applicated to each country. These can be in future used in non-formal education. Next year will be European year of cultural heritage and this is one of reason, why we would like organize project with this topic.
