Over the last decade a rise of nationalism can be noted within European societies. HERCULE - an acronym that stands for 'HERitage and CULture in Europe' - is a project that aims to create a better understanding of the benefits of multiculturalism and cooperation on a European level. It is our goal to make students more aware of the specifics of their own national identity and cultural heritage, and at the same time learn about other European cultures so that they will be able to appreciate both their own culture and other cultures more. A special focus within this project is placed on migration. How can immigrants contribute to local cultures? How can local cultures and its traditions and customs be transferred to immigrants? Cultures are not static, and therefore participants will need to understand how cultures develop, change and adapt over time, in order to keep their relevance in a globalising and integrating world.
