The main aim is the development of core values, mutual respect, empathy and critical thinking.
"ARTiculating values" is coordinated by Interkulturelles Zentrum and is supported by the Anna Lindh Foundation; the Austrian Ministry for Education, the Arts and Culture; the Austrian Ministry for European and International Affairs and others.The project involves schools as well as youth and cultural organisations from Austria, Denmark, Hungary, Jordan, Lebanon, the Netherlands and Turkey.
