Borders

Project Number: 609238-CITIZ-1-2019-1-SI-CITIZ-REMEM

The European Union emerged from the ruins of the two world wars, but its roots lie in the common European values of freedom and tolerance. Today, Europe faces challenges that will undoubtedly shape the future of our society. 2019 marks the 100th anniversary of the laying of the border between Austria and Slovenia. The Treaty of St. Germain established the border where there was none before, as the region belonged to the Duchy of Styria for centuries. We will study this concrete border to learn more about borders in general.

The aim of the EU project is to give a voice to the people from the border. Through the cooperation of partners from EU countries, we will create a transnational atmosphere that will promote intercultural dialogue and allow us to look at Europe from different perspectives. All those who participate in the project carry forward the idea of equality and active citizenship, as well as the shared responsibility for the future of Europe.

"From Saint Germain to the EU - 100 Years of Border" is a project of the Austrian Society for Children's Philosophy (AT), whose partners:are Društvo za evropsko zavest (SI), Organ Vida International Photography Organization (CRO) and Fotoklub Maribor (SI).
