The idea is that children and young people lose prejudice and hatred if they can come to know their so called enemies in a carefree surrounding. We try to support young people on both sides to break the escalation pattern of violence in the hope that the next generation will live in respect and peace The difficult process of dialogue handles the threats and fears of everyday life, but also the hopes and visions. The participants get to know the perspective of 'the other’ regarding the causes of the conflict as well as the political and economic interests of the warring parties. They are able to expe-rience up-close the fact that the question of guilt is not as easy to settle as the local propaganda on either side would have it As the official negotiations failed, we believe a new common grassroots-movement on both sides could lead out of this impasse.

Our goals are to extend the influence of contemporary art in our country, to present Bulgarian artists and culture in international context and to encourage international collaboration for cultural exchange.
