"Cultural heritage and national identity is important because it helps people connect with others who have similar backgrounds and provide a sense of unity and belonging. It provides people with a link to traditions that might otherwise be lost. The sensitivity, responsibility and awareness of members of a society towards this values are so significant for handing them down to future generations. Traditional and cultural values and identity are sometimes ignored by today's generation and the young face cultural degeneration. The aim of the project is to help young people be more aware of the cultural prosperity and their own identity and characteristics, transferring them to the following generations, since those who have no awareness or value of their own heritage can hardly have bright future. The project will be focused on cultural values like historical buildings; such as traditional historical houses, markets or other traditional buildings and on what shows the identity of a society, of a nationality . It will look at the lifestyles and traditional ceremonies. We want by learning about the others to get know ourselves better. In conclusion, national, cultural and cross-cultural awareness will be aroused among the young and they will have the opportunity of having a better understanding of each other's culture and identity and will find out who they have been and thus they will discover the traces of EU identity.The project objectives:• encourage cultural diversity, intercultural and religious dialogue between participants.• Strengthen skills and attitudes that will help participants to grow as personalities;• Develop young peoples’ emotional intelligence and effective communicative, collaborative and creative skills;• Discover different cultural identities and to what extent these different identities live together in Europe or in their own countries;• Introduce a sense of European dimension of education, introducing the idea of an international collaborative work and the amelioration of a European dimension on linguistic and cultural contents in the curriculum;• Increase the motivation of direct and indirect beneficiaries of lifelong learning to develop ICT skills as a way to communicate and to use them as a purposeful everyday tool, to learn a new language and as a means of communication and mastering English for project work;• Encourage the cooperation within the partner organisations from Europe and the exchange of good practices.Our project objectives link to the horizontal aims of strategic partnerships objectives is to raise awareness of the importance of Europe's cultural heritage through informal and non-formal learning social inclusion and youth engagement.

The idea of this project was initiated by a previously implemented YE in Guadeloupe - France titled ""Identity picture"", where the Bulgarian partner took place.It is important this project be carried out at the international level, as we think it will be very interesting to define similarities and differences throughout European countries in our way of livings, stories, culture, food. Working together in international teams will create an atmosphere of trust, help to avoid prejudices and strengthen bonds between organisations from 3 European countries. Our plan is to implement totally 3 TPMs and 3 LТТs in the 3 partner countries where main activity will be to prepare and organize an exhibition showing the culture and identity of the countries seen by the eyes of the participants. The pictures from exhibitions will be organised in a Photo book containing photos and short descrtiptions for each photo translated and published in English and the 3 languages of partners - Bulgarian, Macedonian and Turkish. The partner countries have many differences and similarities in their cultures, traditions and educational systems, religion. Participant will be from 3 Program countries - Bulgaria, Turkey, Republic of North Macedonia. - one member state of EU and 2 non EU Programme countries. All info about project will be uploaded on a project website. At the end of project period an e-version of the Photo book will be created and distributed on partners websites, and the website of project. Social partners will be included to cooperate about dissemination of project results during the project and after th eproject period. We believe that the product we will ce reate will be a good educational tool for culture education in futurе."
