(ANSA) - UDINE - Helping youths reflect on the terrible tragedies experienced by the peoples throughout Europe during WW1, beyond rhetoric and nationalism, by focusing on understanding other people's culture and feelings, exploring all the main areas involved and deepening historical knowledge. This is the goal of the project ''The War of the others'', devised and developed by the cultural association 47|04 and supported by the Autonomous Region of FVG, whose first and second phases were completed in recent days, with the visit of 20 students from Debrecen (Hungary) and 20 from Oradea (Romania) on the sites of the Great War in Friuli Venezia Giulia, along with their peers from Gregorcic (Gorizia)and Einaudi (Staranzano) high schools. At the end of this visit, and after the Italian and Slovenian students will have visited Debrecen and Oradea in late April, the youths of the three countries involved in the project will create a collection of 'emotional' multimedia guides, using geo-referenced storytelling techniques and publishing them online. ''It's an innovative project because it aims to promote new interpretations of one of the greatest tragedies of the last century'' said Alessandro Cattunar, project manager and chairman of 47 | 04. These young Hungarian and Romanian visitors were welcomed to Doberdob/Doberdò del Lago (Gorizia) by the provincial Councillor for Culture Federico Portelli, along with the Mayor of Doberdò Fabio Vizintin. ''This is an opportunity to promote dialogue and peace, but also to learn about the many identities that make up the new united Europe'', said Councillor Portelli, whereas Doberdò mayor Vizintin stressed that ''in these sites, where Italians, Slovenians, Hungarians and other nationalities struggled in a terrible war, today, a hundred years later, it is important that memory becomes the basis for building and defending peace''. The young Hungarian and Romanian students visited other WW1 sites, such as the Hungarian Chapel in Visintini (Doberdò), the ''Museo della guerra per la pace Diego De Henriquez'' in Trieste, the Speleological Museum of San Martino del Carso, the WW1 Museum and Ossuary in Kobarid (Slovenia), the Transalpina square in the city of Gorizia, where students could learn about the history of Gorizia and its border. Many of them have hoped that soon other borders between the countries of the European Union, such as the one between Hungary and Romania, will definitely fall. At the end of their stay in FVG, students from Hungary and Romania visited the Open Air Museum in Ragogna (Udine), where you can discover bunkers, trenches and other sites that were theatre of war on the banks of the river Tagliamento.
