PROJECTS WITHOUT BORDERSwww.ipacbc-bgtr.eu

is a project for creation of a joint communication environment between generations based on their social and cultural experience. The goal of the project is achievement of social development and social cohesion in the cross-border region Bulgaria-Turkey. It is essential to close the gap between generations through acquiring knowledge about the main family values, the customs transferred from one generation to the next, as well as the lifestyle changes due to various social factors. Every generation has its own values, lifestyle, understanding of achievements and at the same time can learn from the previous generations. The message is that the differences between generations could be beneficial and could lead to positive change for all.

The project is implemented by Platform AGORA – branch Burgas in partnership with Secondary School “Episkop Konstantin Preslavski” – Burgas and Lüleburgaz High School, Turkey under the IPA Cross-border Programme, CCI №: 2007CB16IPO008.
