| THE
PROJECT'S AIMS |
|
The
main goal of the Giangukai project is to
make European children more interculturally
aware, by giving them the opportunity
to become acquainted with their peers’ lives in
developing countries.
Today, thanks to new technologies, the right to
communicate, which is recognised as a fundamental
human right, may be entering a promising period.
These new technologies could become available to
a larger number of people than in the past and really
bring the populations of the global village closer
together, ensuring respect for the principle of
equal opportunities and pluralism of cultures and
their interaction.
However, at the same time such a right remains largely
unrealised, since most of the poorest countries
of the world are excluded
from international communication processes and technological
development.
Part of the Giangukai project concerns multimedia
communication. Its purpose is to support this right
and, through an intercultural approach, to bring
diverse cultures together through assisting people
with different cultures, traditions and languages
to get in touch with one another.
The project hopes to
give equal opportunities of expression
to the various countries in the project, offering
them the chance to communicate and interact thanks
to the new technologies, in particular the internet. |
