CAN CULTURE IMPROVE THE WORLD?

We have come to the conclusion that culture can improve the world. We can improve as people thanks to culture, we have been thinking about concrete examples such as: Anne Frank's house or even the newspaper, it can lead us to ask ourselves many things; Anne had to emigrate with her entire family to the Netherlands and there to hide from the Nazis. With this story we can realize and we can empathize with all those people who died at the hands of the Nazis, and therefore, this culture opens our minds.

Another example that we have been talking about has been the Orthodox neighborhood of New York, called Williamsburg. Orthodox Jews live in this neighborhood, and visiting it implies a radical change in culture. They are dressed in a very different way than here, they only interact with each other and even if you visit their neighborhood they look at you badly. In this case, the change in culture also makes us open our minds, that is why culture does make us better people, since we can learn a lot by traveling, visiting museums, reading books ... in short, consuming culture.

Finally, our poster expresses what we have been talking about previously. It represents a brain, which has a door that opens, on the next slide many elements of culture appear. With all this, we want to represent that all types of culture make us have more knowledge, which leads to a better understanding of the world and getting to empathize more when it comes to seeing things differently from ourselves. If everyone did the same, the world would be a better place.

In this time and age, several factors negatively affect the whole population: climate change threatens, economic inequalities grow, geopolitical tensions rise between countries… However, powerful organizations such as the United Nations don’t intervene in the conflicts.

Up until now, we might have thought that solving these problems was not in our hands, since we tend to assume that our opinion is irrelevant and that we have no power to change them. Putting them aside and thinking we have no time for that, we take for granted that others will sort them. Yet, there is a way we can all do our bit. Arguably, culture could be the means to achieve the goal of a better world.

On the one hand, culture, as a protest or denouncement, allows us to spread awareness about ongoing injustices and fundamental problems. Cinema, music, paintings… all those portrait realities different to ours’, which may go unnoticed because we do not experience them. On the other hand, it can also pave the way for new bonds, letting people, societies or nations realize there’s a link amongst them. Even if culture can make civilizations unique, it can also bring them together. Finally, consuming all these cultural activities helps us to develop critical thinking, a critical spirit which can be of value in order to improve the current situation.

In conclusion, globally, we are currently facing many challenges. As we have seen, culture can be the instrument to achieve both personal growth and a more equitative civilization. At the end of the day, we can consider culture the core of our society.

Culturefor a better world

For ages culture has been paramount in our lives. During lockdown we realized that without cultural activities it would have been much more difficult to get through it. Thanks to that, nowadays there are plenty of cultural activities in order to build a more homogeneous and better society. These are some of the cultural activities that have taken place around the world.

"CULTURE OPENS THE SENSE OF BEAUTY"

RALPH WALDO EMERSON

Title 1

These kinds of activities make me think about the great importance the culture has in our society. In a simple way, such as organizing a popular meal, we are doing our bit to contribute to building a better world. Relying on culture, different types of people and cultures come together creating an environment of equality, respect, learning and fun.This is a clear demonstration that union and culture are a great tool to make our world better

I was enthralled by the atmosphere that it was there. The festival seeks to promote interculturality and interrelation between different people and social organizations and it was truly like this. People were relating and meeting the groups they have by their side, not just staying at their table. This celebration is based on popular participation. It is a party where the organization and the program depend on you. Sing, dance, claim, eat, drink... everything is allowed. Everything except violent, xenophobic, sexist or homophobic behavior.

Nothing like a meal to improve the world

I was in Bilbao, Basque Country, last weekend, for the celebration of the festival of "MUNDUKO ARROZAK" (Rices of the world). "Munduko arrozak" is an intercultural, popular, participatory and self-managed party where many people of different cultural backgrounds prepare the rice according to their cultural traditions.

ITXASNE DEL BARRIO

My family and I went to Prague five years ago and while we were walking through the marvelous streets, we came across a huge theater. We got so astonished that we decided to enter and buy a few tickets to watch a show. As soon as we sat down in the armchairs, the show had already started; there were many black people that seemed to be immigrants. They talked about the difficult lives they had to deal with. They were 25 years old and they all were from Ethiopia. Most of those men came to Europe when they were young, and Abal gave a speech about his tragic life; when he was 6 years old he left his family behind and went on a small boat through the Mediterranean Sea together with 50 people. It had been a tense situation because the small boat sank. Due to that, many people died, but Abal didn't.

After hearing this speech it came to my mind many things; first of all, I think it's essential to get to know the difficulties people have to face; not only to help them but also to get to know different cultures. That way we are helping each other and spreading each one's culture worldwide.

GREAT EXPERIENCE IN PRAGUE; THEATRE

Title 1

I've recently been to Copenhagen's International Market, where many products from over 100 countries were being sold. It was so mesmerizing to see so many different objects like clothing, homeware and decorations being exhibited at the same place. Everything was so well done and unique, but the part that I loved the most was the fact that everything had a story behind it.Talking to every craftsman and craftswoman was a special experience, I've learnt so much about so many cultures, it has really opened my eyes!I recommend everyone to go at least once in their lives.

WHY SOULD YOU DO IT?I believe this idea it's amazing to get to know a great deal of cultures as it's very eye-catching. Many people enjoy markets and buying handmade products, so I think it's very attractive due to the fact that everything is concentrated in one place and you can do a bunch of activities.It's a great opportunity to learn more about cultures that you were previously curious about, because not everyone is able to travel to many different countries nowadays, specially due to the pandemic. Although we have a lot of information online and on social media, it's not the same seeing and reading about something than having the experience firsthand.

SOUVENIERS THAT HELP YOU LEARN

Iratxe Filibi Aldekoa

Title 1

There, over 100,000 spectators pay top dollar to watch as the city's top 12 samba schools compete for a grand prize. Each school represents a different neighborhood that has come to showcase their insane talent and a year's worth of hard work.

Between the dazzling costumes, upbeat music, spirited dancing, and overall contagious energy, it's no wonder Carnival is widely considered to be "the greatest show on Earth."

CARNIVAL (BRAZIL)

The vivacious event, which now draws nearly 5 million attendees each year, originally started as a religious affair for Catholics, It took place five days before the beginning of Lent, which is 40 days before Easter. While you'll find street parties around every corner filled with large crowds dancing to the tune of Samba, the height of Carnival today takes place at Rio's Sambadrome. Alejandra Bonilla

Title 1

I was in Lebanon last weekend, for the Beirut International Marathon.This race was created by former marathon runner May El-Khalil, who discovered through running a way to unite people who had been suffering the consequences of war.It's no secret that Lebanon, as well as its neighbours, Syria, Palestine and Israel, have been for years immersed in humanitarian conflicts and political instability. However, the Beirut Marathon manages, even for one day a year, to bring together thousands of people from all over the world to run in peace.It's a truly moving event. From the start and all the way through the 42 km of the race, families, friends and neighbours who were probaby fighting each other the day before, ran in harmony and celebrated the event as if the war had never existed. I myself felt part of this huge community as Iran among them, and for one day, I sincerely believed there was hope to make a better world.After all, as El-Khalil said, peace-making is not a sprint, but a marathon.

Making peace is a marathon

Elena Fogarty Larrañaga

The Beirut Marathon was first held in 2003, and has since become the largest running-event in the Middle East.The founder of the race,May El-Khalil, envisioned it as an instrument for spreading a message of peace among communities at war.

Title 1

During the past five years I've been really into concerts and cultural events. We could say it's become my hobby to attend these kinds of festivals. I've been to more than 35 concerts and festivals from all over the world and I'd like to share one of my personal favorites with you.

BLACK-NECKED CRANE FESTIVAL (BHUTAN)

Celebrated in the courtyard of Gangtey Goemba, one of the oldest and largest Nyingmapa monasteries in Bhutan, the Black-necked Crane Festival draws in large crowds of locals to celebrate the arrival of the endangered birds.These majestic birds are considered sacred and a symbol of longevity in Bhutan, where they are the subject of many folktales and songs. Images of the Black-necked Crane can also be found painted on the walls of temples across the country. The birds' arrival (after migrating from their summer home on the Tibetan Plateau) is widely celebrated because they're believed to bring prosperity and bountiful harvests to the farms of the Phobjikha Valley.
