Our poster is a representation of the unity that should exist between all of Europe. By not focusing just on our own countries we can get a clearer view of the differences and similarities between the European people. There are, of course, important symbols for some of the nations that are viewed through the “journey through Europe”.
Forget the prejudices, think about the food! (Pink poster)
When you are visiting any country in Europe, you are excited to eat some of the local food, see their own unique culture, learn their history. Meet some new people…
When you are visiting a new country, you aren’t thinking about any prejudices or bad stereotypes.
Our poster beautifully showcases these unique experiences in every country. You can find drawings of the local food, pictures of people or the nature of each country: Slovakia, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Netherlands and Greece. Sure our countries aren’t the same, they have their similarities and differences but that’s what is beautiful. When alone, we might not feel as significant. But when our countries come together, we complete each other, like peanut butter and jelly in a PB&J sandwich. Just like you can see on our poster, each country on their own wouldn’t be able to make something so beautiful as all of us together.
Our poster aims to promote cultural diversity and break down stereotypes associated with Slovakia, Poland, Bulgaria, and Romania. Each country’s section is distinct yet interconnected, symbolizing unity despite diversity.
The poster showcases various aspects of the culture, history, and nature of the four countries. For Slovakia, there are images of the mountains depicting its natural beauty, and people depicting generational differences. For Poland, pictures representing Polish culture, such as sports, composers and religion are visible. For Bulgaria, it includes drawings of a tribe soup, a gajda (a bulgarian bagpipe), a kalpak (a bulgarian hat), a sheep, a lavender scenery. and some roses. For Romania, images depict iconic landmarks or things belonging to Romanian culture. In Romania there are many castles with a unique architecture. We have very good traditional food. We are a united people and we have very beautiful clothes.
Stereotypes have been spreading for such a long time and we think it is time to stop it. Through the poster we want to share our views on how prejudices ruin people’s mindsets. We want to show them that we are not so different and everybody has a place in society. After all, we all live under the same sky. It is important for people to understand that it doesn’t matter where we are from. We all have our good and bad sides but we should not focus on the negative things. Together we can make a change and rebuild society’s wrong understanding of our culture. We should open peoples eyes and expand their horizons for the better.
In order to fight off the stereotypes, we ought to embrace our differences but also keep in mind the things that bring us together in various similarities.
The obvious difference between each country is its geographical position which in itself has a high impact on that country’s history.
From the history of a country blooms its architecture. The architecture portrays the historical events, political changes and societal improvement of a country. The history often connects with cultural identity, connecting architecture with religions in various churches and cathedrals. The religion might also be said to be the gateway to our similarities, as most of the European religions fall under the Christian umbrella.
Moreover, an important part of our cultures is the music that unites us.We’re also united by a lot of seas or mountain ranges that we share and agricultural industry that is controlled by the EU.
The EU also unifies our economies altogether spreading franchises of shops and even currencies throughout the European countries. There’s also a universal European law, that keeps our regulations equal and protects the citizens, and a lot of medical restrictions and programs that keeps the medicine department equally developed in each country.
To conclude, our differences and similarities display a visible contrast but if we look beyond the surface it turns out that the things we have in common prevail.
