Momentum – Festival of nations

ongoing

The task of the project is to bring new topics to the partnership. In this way, our partnership can constantly innovate and remain active in the future. New topics will be gender equality, volunteering, climate change, and the connection of culture with solidarity. The choice of topics is related to the constant reminder of the roots of the partnership and the current need to create space for gender equality at all levels of society. The partnership of cities already exists, it has several years of cooperation behind it. Nevertheless, we plan to include the acute topics in common debates. The European Union will also play its role within the project in the form of a guarantor of fundamental rights and the unification of nations. The project will consist of 2 separate events. The main theme of the first event is partnership and culture without borders. We will devote ourselves to cultural presentations, discussions on gender equality and highlighting the importance of EU membership. The main theme of the second event is volunteering without borders. As part of the event, we will highlight the importance of volunteering in the life of partner cities. The target group of the project will be citizens of partner cities. Particular emphasis will be placed on the participation of young people to prepare them for their adult lives, when they will be able to influence local, national and European policies. The project implementation tool will be the organization of seminars, debates, workshops, presentations and exchange of experiences. The project will have the following objectives: 1) Debate on gender (in)equality in society, starting with local self-governments 2) Emphasizing the need for volunteering in communities 3) Improvement of mutual relations between 5 nations 4) Dissemination the knowledge of cultural diversity of European nations 5) Active involvement of citizens into the debates on current problems of society 6) Stressing the importance of EU membership
