Also, to recognise the inspiration of the ancient and past creators and teachers to work more and better on how in life cultural elements were created, implemented and changed over centuries and millenniums, even our daily life is based on the elements from this early heritage. Starting with the healthy Mediterranean Diet, to artistic and architectural achievements, legal base of our society, literature, music, dance, costumes etc. Many of inherited elements have been used and reused over the centuries but the initial form was the base which time shaped into our civilisation progress and new practice.

Background

Pro Art & Co aim is to explore the cultural heritage of the UK and Europe and to search for similar forms in wider European culture, taken or adapted and changed to suite the purpose of the new users. The European heritage and cultures has been spread by people, migrants, refugees, conquerors throughout history to the furthest corners, with the aim to use these elements to integrate in the new users needs. It was mainly visible in art and culture of living daily life, storytelling, architecture, food, fashion, literature. music, religion, early "medicine" and practices carried out in healing sanctuaries as in our homes and hospitals.The spread of cultures was also through wars and resettlements of population which always brought new elements in local culture and life. This idea was our motivation to do this project and to increase experience and knowledge of Europe from the earliest time and to look at European history in more complex way, wider and at cultures passed across the continent and influenced our life until our time. Erasmus+ projects provided many opportunities to learn and was of great benefit to our organisation's work and recognition of the competence, professional development, staff and learners increased knowledge and experience, management, work with partners and professional contributors who expanded our knowledge, competence, experience, practice and helped to create our competence and professional recognition internationally and at home.
