Objectives

Nowadays, the construction of the European Union seems more threatened than ever. The EU has to cope with challenges from the exterior, such as terrorism and immigration, during a moment of great uncertainty in the interior. The political and economic wounds that resulted from the 2007-2008 econoic crisis still haven't healed, being its most evident consequence the rise of far-right parties all over Europe, including long and well established democracies such as France and Austria. The euroscepticism and europhobia reaches its peak with Brexit, a turning point in the European process since it's the first time a country goes as far as to actually start the process of withdrawal. In this context, it seems essential to remind the Europeans our long history and rich common heritage, and the fact that the things that unite us are far more than those that divide us. Beyond political and economic considerations, the common culture and history it's the glue that keeps the European peoples united. This project aims to increase awareness on the importance and strenghth of these bonds and to revalue our shared heritage. During the project, the participants will explore the different parts of the European culture from a dynamic and critic perspective, putting them in direct contact with our traditions and allowing them to realize the similarities between the Europeans.
