Title: The 12th European Picnic of small communities: At the crossroads-26 communities from 13 countries to discuss how to make Europe stronger.
Summary
The 12. European Picnic of small communities followed the tradition of the picnics: 22 communities came together from 10 countries and the combination of serious topics discussions with multicultural performances yielded very good results. Discussion topics were interesting and very useful vis-a-vis present and future of EU and not only did the multicultural performances secure relaxation after the serious and heavy topics but also fulfilled their own, independent mission too: they helped enjoy the multicolourness of the EU. So in fact, cultural performances provided the fourth hot EU topic to enjoy and discuss. The first hot topic was directly connected to multicultural performances: it stimulated and intensified the multicultural dialogue. That dialogue helps understand that EU is by no means unicolour and when we talk about unitiy we by no means mean uniformity. Multicolourness of culture is a strength of EU and not a weakness. Participants fully understood those principles. (The topic was introduced with a lecture)The second hot topic dealt with democracy – a centuries-long issue in human history and vitally important question in today’s society too. An introductory lecture clarified the main issues, considerations and consequences. It was pointed out that the earlier, simplified and usual definition (multiparty system, free elections) is by far not enough in our digital era. Communication opportunities and channels, free press, developed and active civil society, the checks and balances, free and unbiased information are vitally important. The issue is really hot in some of the EU countries. Participants conducted vivid discussions and the evaluation of the overall present situation was not fully unanimous amongst the discussion partners.The third topic was „human rights” which was also introduced by a lecture. Different layers of the question were highlighted and the importance of the issue was underlined. It was an overall opinion that the universal issue of the human rights is well understood and there are no cardinal problems with it within EU. However, it was also pointed out that there are still minor but also important issues where further improvement should be expected. Multicultural programs also hully met the expectations. The program was really colourful and was based mostly on folk art of different countries and communities present. (Folk songs, folk dances) They really helped mutual understanding and thus increased tolerance, so important in the normal life of the Continent and beyond. Communities being present on the series on European Picnic for the first time (from Portugal, from Bosnia and Hercegovina, fron North Macedonia) were accepted immediately and multicultural presentations helped them blend in immediately and fast. Multicultural program included also ceremonial march, interculinary competition and also sport events.All in all, the combination of serious topics and „light” multicultural performances have made the 12EP exceptionally successful, az it was stated by the guests of Legrad.
