Description:
The purpose of the project is international cooperation and creating and establishing the permanent network of so-called “Heart Points”. Each International cultural Heart Point is going to be a creative centre, where members are going to conceive, develop, and execute cultural events. Events are going to, along with introducing cultural heritage, also promote heart values like acceptance of differences, understanding, humanity, friendship and solidarity – on personal, national, and international level. With the network HE-ART, an example of cultural tourism is going to be set up, and with it, the pulse of a Heart Point that is going to work for the local community, the nation, and for international cooperation and connecting. Among others, we are going to address the problems of the youth, unemployment, globalisation, immigration and stigmatization of immigrants, European citizenship, Euroscepticism, and other problems that permeate lives today.
