CULTURAL TRANSFER FROM ANATOLIA TO EUROPE - YOUNG PEOPLE TOGETHER WITH FOLK DANCE

Economic conditions, wars in a certain geography, natural disasters and climate crisis cause intense migration traffic in the world. As migration traffic increases, the interaction of ethnic elements provides many stimuli through the digital world. For these reasons, the folkloric values of the ancient nations of Anatolia need field research, curriculum study and archiving without being affected by these conditions. It is extremely important to trace and document the common cultural heritage, to ensure that future generations learn about these, and that all these studies are carried out through young people.
Our motivations:
 Revealing similarities and common motifs so that the cultural transfer caused by migration does not turn into a clash of cultures.
 Development of intercultural dialogue, combining different cultural activities, young people from Europe and Turkey coming together to break their prejudices, increasing the awareness of young people in the field of art.
 Creating archiving, repertoire and documentation, as well as preventing and defining a common cultural element from disappearing by bringing together young people from Europe, Turkey and Cilicia to carry folk dances to the future.
 To inventory and document the cultural transfer from our own region to Europe and to define the common cultural value and place it in a new framework, to protect and transport cultures and increase common cultural values in migrations that are expected to occur today and in the future.
 Contribution to the necessity of identifying common folkloric values, searching for traces of the interaction of cultures with each other and turning them into documentation for the future.
 Creating and archiving a repertoire of common motifs with the understanding of democratic and multiculturalism
 Elimination of cultural conflict and separation in the integration of those who migrate to countries where human rights and economic conditions are better for economic, political, social or other reasons, into the country where they settle.
 Concretizing cultural transfer and revealing similarities, thus preventing healthy and sustainable integration, ghettoization and cultural erosion in those who come from different cultures through migration and refugee
 Development of intercultural dialogue, combining different cultural activities
 Young people from Europe and Turkey come together to break their prejudices and increase their awareness in the field of art.
 Connecting young people to civil and social life by increasing their social and intercultural competencies
 Ensuring young people's orientation to the future through common cultural heritage analysis
 Young people have an ambassadorial mission in conveying common cultural elements.

All of these are our source of motivation to work on this project, and for all these reasons, our project should be supported financially.
