ABOUT PROJECT

 

Culture; it reflects the way of life of societies and is the whole of the thought and art assets of society. Art; it is one of the most important factors that ensure the continuity ofculture.Cultural heritage; They are material and spiritual works created by previous generations by emphasizing the continuity of cultural consciousness and this consciousness andbelieved to have universal values.Cultural heritage; It is important because it offers young people new learning and development opportunities, nourishes creativity and the drive toexplore, adds depth to the world and life, and carries the experiences of the past to the present.Cultural heritage in the UNESCO universal declaration; cited as the source of creativityand it is said that “it should be preserved in almost every way, enriched and expanded and handed over to future generations as a record of human experience and ambitions so thatcreativity is encouraged in all its diversity and an effective dialogue between cultures is felt”.EU; cares about "cultural and social integration" as much as economic, legal and political integration in terms of continuity of the union.EU's cultural policy; It is directed towards theexploration of the cultural heritage of both European cities and European nations, the preservation and recognition of their local culture and identity, and the promotion of their culturaldiversity and further integration.Therefore, with regard to cultural integration, the Council of Europe also adopts the common heritage understanding in the documents adopted in thefield of culture and cultural heritage. In terms of ensuring the cultural integrity of the EU, to ensure sustainability in protecting the common cultural heritage; It depends on the formationof awareness and awareness in individuals, awareness of the society about cultural heritage, and perception of heritage.With the recognition and protection of cultural heritage; Thekey people who can make the link between the past, present and future are European youth. Young people; It is one of the youth strategies of the EU to encourage young people to bethe architects of their lives, to ensure their growth towards their personal development and independence, to be active citizens, to be advocates of solidarity and to create positivechanges and provide the necessary resources inspired by EU values and European identity. In this context, "European cultural heritage awareness", "common values of the EU" and"effective European citizenship" competencies, which are the topics of our project and are the determinants of the future of the EU, are intertwined concepts. EU common valuesaccepted by all member states; It consists of concepts related to human rights such as respect for human dignity, freedom, democracy, equality, justice and complementary conceptssuch as pluralism, multiculturalism, solidarity, respect, tolerance and equality of women and men.Civil society and civic participation;They are other concepts that make the Common values of the EU functional and ensure the effective use of human rights. Civil society; They are voluntary associations of citizens outside of the state administration.Civil society, whichhas become an integral part of the "European Identity", has a very important place in ensuring social integration in Europe.Civic participation; It is the participation of individuals,nongovernmental organizations and civil society that make up the society in the decision-making processes of public authorities in general. Therefore, civic participation forms thebasis of active citizenship and requires strong ties between NGOs and society. In addition, the cultural dimension of European citizenship includes features such as interculturalexperience, European cultural heritage, and respect for cultural differences (EU, 2004)
Knowing and adopting the common values of the EU, which is in line with the European Human Rights, will increase their belonging to the European Union and European citizenship.Thus, it will be inevitable that young people whose belonging increases will gain awareness about the recognition and protection of cultural heritage. Our NGO organization; Whileguiding the project partners in directing the civic participation of young people, with the cooperation to be made with NGOs in our local project activities; Youth, who are a part of çivil society, will be shed light on civic participation and encourage young people to become civic participants.
