Introduction
In a difficult period of the European unification process and in these times of considerable political help- and hopelessness, arts and cultures can send a signal for understanding and integration in Europe in form of the European Delphiads held within one of the European countries in two years’ intervals.
European Delphiads will mirror the diversity and wealth of Europe’s cultures and will uncover their interpenetration to everybody. Thus people can directly experience that growing European integration is not in contradiction to national identity but complementary to it.
Cultural identity grows on the basis of common history, of shared spiritual values and shared traditions. Due to the strengthening of their cultural identities communities and peoples will grow closer together, will develop the binding and integrating power of identification. Cultural identities must be understood as condition and foundation of political integration.
It is culture that possesses the extraordinary ability to establish identity since it has a far-reaching and long-term impact on people’s minds and emotions thus being the key to let grow the feeling of belonging and pride.
The European Delphiads / Continental and Regional Delphiads provide the chance to activate cultural exchange among European nations in a dimension hitherto unknown and to create a world of experience that conveys the feeling of Europe as an area of common culture. All Europeans shall feel at home in Europe.
The direct encounters from person to person have always been the key to understanding.
Continental Delphiads are conducted every 2 years at a continental or international regional level by NDC & IDC. For instance, the European Delphiad, Asian Delphiad, Middle East Delphiad, etc.
Regional / Local Delphiads
At local, regional national level
Conducted on a local, regional and national level
Delphiads offer a platform for creative professionals to showcase their arts and culture to the world in both, traditional and contemporary aspects.
