Cultural Bridge "between east and west"

Bridging Cultures
The overall goal of this Project is to help the young generation to learn and to appreciate both their own cultural values and those of other European communities. Building bridges between our cultures will render a stronger Europe that learns from each other develops understanding and never forgets its own past. Proverbs and sayings are essential components of the history of any given community. Analysing them permits to appreciate similarities and differences in both cultural expressions and perspectives of life of different communities. This Project will also put together quotes on a set of topics made by important personalities (artists, philosophers etc.) of Turkey, Spain, Austria and Germany, which have had profound impacts on each community. It will also produce an e-dictionary on proverbs and sayings in Turkish, English, German and Spanish and an e-bibliography that will become a basis for further research.
