“Europe’s cultural heritage is a rich and diverse mosaic of cultural and creative expressions, an inheritance from previous generations of Europeans and a legacy for those to come”. According to this self-image of the EU, set out in the policy “Creative Europe”, the common cultural heritage represents one of the decisive foundations of our future peaceful and equal coexistence. Especially the cultural heritage enriches the individual lives of citizens and is a driving force for social cohesion.
The starting point of this project is the PI’s experience with the summer school “Archeology for Peace” in Kosovo. Central subject were cultural diversity and gender equality.
The aim of the first phase of this project is to explore the possibilities of taking up this structure of bringing people together and to sound out the individual capabilities of the consortium in carrying it forward. The members will design a research and educational program including the capabilities of the participants and the possibilities they offer.
This project is made possible through seed funding from the EUPeace Fund, an initial incentive launched to cultivate and develop interest across EUPeace communities in our network; by providing a first format for collaboration, the Fund equips participating researchers, educators, students and administrators with a practical tool for experimentation and active participation, employing a bottom-up approach that generates concrete information on the interests and needs of our communities and informs future collaborative initiatives.
