Know... Touch... See... Taste - European Cultural Heritage

K.N.O.W. is about raising awareness among youth workers about our common history and values, mutually understanding our different perspectives and reinforcing the sense of belonging to the European family we live in. Our European cultural heritage is actually the result of the joint contributions of many different cultures. This European heritage has been built over a long period of time filtered from the past.
