About the project:
Our project idea is precisely about the prevention of wars, because our museum is anti-war in character, so through this project we wish to try, together with our partners, to recognize and mark all significant characteristics and the pattern of the state in which any society or country is found when they are on the brink of war or conflict, that is, discovering what is the character of those pre-war states.

More information about the project can be found in the attached document.

Role of the partner organisation in the project:
Partners should address the topic in a way that is in line with their core activity and through that they contribute to drawing general conclusions on the subject. To achieve results such as an exhibition, a collection of works, a documentary movie etc, it need to be analyzed the situation before war that happened in the country from which the partner is. After the realization of the aforementioned activities, the project envisages conclusions to be compared at a joint conference organized by one of the partners.

We believe that the contribution to the successful realization of the project can be given by all organizations that inherit and nourish antiwar values.
