Border that unites us

Function of national borders is separation but also connection. State borders and symbolic - cultural, economic, ethnic, religious - borders not only separate but also connect. The archaeological artifacts confirm that this region was organic part of a big Bronze Age archaeological community thousands of years ago that ruled most of Europe. Despite numerous ethnic disagreements in Bačka not only the landscape characteristics, economic conditions and historical events but a variety of interethnic effects also shaped the culture and way of life. This centuries-old coexistence can be connected with many rich, polychrome ethnicities and resulted a unified cultural heritage here. Owing to multilingualism, multiculturalism, ethnic and religious tolerance which developed through the centuries there are also well-presented European values in this region. The activities of the project were formed in the spirit of this connection and common cultural heritage.
