Delphic Identity
Art, culture and education are the most significant proof for identity, creativity and development. They are expression of contemporary creation. Art is able to build bridges between cultures and nations and can contribute to a peaceful living together. Art and culture inspire and promote the awareness for ones own existence. They help to answer the questions: Who am I, where do I come from and where to go? These questions about ones own identity, to find the future way in a globalised world becomes increasingly important.
