Connecting Cultures. A truly Eurasian Story

The red thread on our imaginary map leads to ten heritage places in the Eastern Black Sea, the pearls in the necklace, connected in one journey, using fantasy as fuel. The read thread will lead us to the Argonauts, the Myriads, the Silk Road from Alexander to Han Wudi and Marco Polo, to the pocket Empire of Trebizond, to Evliya Celebi and the Autumn Tour of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk. Each place becomes a carrier of narration, able to adjust to our life shaping our common bonds: Connecting Cultures. A truly Eurasian Story will be the title of our collection of stories. The red thread is self-consistent with no beginning or end. It is not a road, but a shape: the shape of our journey. It doesn’t represent the world exactly as it is but helps us to be carried away by the myths. The shape of our journey is not in use by ordinary geometry but is sinuous as the path of memory. The digital collection EUROTHENTICA is part of the EU project DIVERTIMENTO. Greece, Italy, Spain, Slovenia, Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey create an authentic storytelling in 70 heritage places with motion, emotion and imagination. In the reign of the unexpected a brave, new world emerges at your fingertips. Curiosity lifts the veil.
