Baku/25.08.21/Turan: The European Union Delegation to Azerbaijan is delighted to present the “European Fairy Tales” project. Within this social project, the Delegation translated into the Azerbaijani language fairy-tales and legends from 27 European Union Member States. The collection of fairy tales printed as a colourful book will be distributed among children in various orphanages, shelters as well as children libraries across the country.
This book will help children in Azerbaijan to learn about different nations of Europe, discover their roots and traditions as well as European values.
Blighted by countless wars, Europe of today strives for peace. That peace starts from understanding each other, respecting any differences, finding similarities and advancing cooperation. May this book help on a noble path towards a bright and peaceful future.
To introduce a wider public to the magic world of European fairy-tales, along with the print version, the EU Delegation jointly with Embassies of EU Member States also prepared video versions of the fairy-tales narrated by Ambassadors and other representatives of the Embassies and dubbed in the Azerbaijani language by professional actors.
The video-tales will be released daily on the Delegation’s facebook page starting from 25 August 2021.
The e-version of the book in Azerbaijani language is available at the EU Delegation web-site. –16D-

Events in history are not merely dates or fragments of historical memory; they leave deep marks on cultural memory as well. Artists, in particular, transfer these events into their works, shaped by their personal perceptions and interpretations. January 20 is one such event that has found its place in cultural memory. Although this topic is relatively less explored in contemporary art, it has never lost its relevance. How should this historical memory be represented? How does it manifest in art?

Each year, on January 13, Lithuania commemorates the Day of Freedom Defenders, honoring the heroes who sacrificed their lives for the country’s independence in 1991. This pivotal moment in Lithuanian history marked the triumph of an unyielding will for freedom over Soviet oppression. Fourteen lives were lost, hundreds were injured, but the desire for liberty remained unshaken. The Day of Freedom Defenders is a solemn occasion for Lithuanians to reflect on their past and the true cost of freedom.
