Poziv organizacije B'nei B'rith Europe da se pridružimo novom multinacionalnom kulturnom projektu "BRIDGES OF TOLERANCE"
(Mostovi tolerancije)
za Centralnu i Istočnu Evropu.
Projekt predlaže
Erika van Gelder , Senior Vice-President, B'nai B'rith Europe
Dear Brothers and Sisters,
....A few days ago our president, Ralph Hofmann asked me to consider taking over the Makor programme since I am already involved in Central and Eastern Europe. I accepted and I feel honoured to be given this important task.
This new BBE cultural project serves several purposes:
* It is an educational tool that promotes Jewish contributions to the local culture; it targets the general public, adults and children alike.
* It enables local lodges to open and exchange a dialogue with government representatives and other NGOs, Jewish and non-Jewish.
* It strengthens the participating lodges' Jewish identity
* It makes B'nai B'rith visible
This project, that I call 'Bridges of Tolerance', is dedicated to the memory of our Br. Ralph Weill.
Aim:
The Jewish presence on our continent has a long and troubled history. It knows periods of tolerance and periods of extreme discrimination. Whatever the circumstances and geographical locations, the Jewish presence left an immeasurable impact on the Judeo-Christian world.
We aim to create an educational, cultural platform through which we would present the Jewish contribution to the various aspects of cultural life of each participating country.
Zadatak projekta je edukacijska i kulturna platforma preko koje ćemo prikazati židovski doprinos različitim aspektima kulturnog života u svakoj zemlji koja učestvuje u projektu.
For whom?
We invite the public at large, adults and children, to free of charge cultural events on topics such as Jewish music, literature, art, film and theatre, etc.
Motivation:
We live in a multi-cultural society where the European citizens of different back grounds, histories, mentalities, create our common European Cultural Heritage. Jewish culture, philosophy and traditions are part of this heritage.
We believe that the best tool for combating discrimination, racism and anti-Semitism is education. Knowledge about your neighbour's culture would promote understanding and mutual respect. It would create bridges of tolerance.
