A living culture has great transforming power. It provides us with the knowledge and means necessary to make appropriate decisions. We have a legacy of over 10,000 years of human history. Surely we can benefit from all that experience by adapting it and giving it new life?
True culture gives rise to a flowering of genuine inner values, such as order, justice, truth, equality, honour and freedom and these, in turn have the effect of bringing individuals together. Man first reached a true human condition when he became able to perceive the reality of things beyond their mere appearances and began to imagine, compare and create symbols.
Culture has a major role to play – social, moral, philosophical and spiritual- helping to solve the nowadays identity crisis faced by the individual. Culture can also help the younger generation to build the 21rst century in a conscious and effective way.
Moreover, culture helps to bring people together through the practice of tolerance and solidarity.
