In Chinese culture Chinese culture is very broad and very deep; because it relates to a long history of more than five thousand years, much of their history has not been lost, and it has remained the only culture in the world that still preserves its beauty and treasures almost to this day, and in almost one language. Therefore, understanding this culture and mastering its generalities as well as its details is extremely difficult and almost impossible. Do not be surprised if you miss a piece of information here, or that someone does not ignore the obvious information there - despite his specialization in it - this is obvious in the Chinese language and culture. There is no comparison here with European cultures, let alone American and Western civilization in some countries whose history does not exceed a few hundred years; all of its historical balance can be mastered in a few months, or if you take a long time, in a year if you devote yourself to it, you will be an expert in it; but this is impossible for China.

A series about cultural politics? Animated? Yes, it is possible! We made a series of videos "12 theses about culture". As briefly as possible, dynamically and with the help of pictures, we talk about cultural self-determination, cultural policy, the importance of humanitarian education and the opportunity of each of us to become an ambassador of national culture. This series discusses the importance of resources to national culture. Because without them, we will turn into a colonial province and allow foreigners to invent our past, rule our today and determine our future. The basis for the series was the manifesto "More than culture", which was prepared together with Belarusian Council for Culture https://lnkd.in/dk-S28Gv

By Hugo Keji The European Union (EU) plays a significant role in fostering cultural exchange and shaping a shared identity across its member states. While the EU respects and promotes the diversity of national cultures, it also encourages a sense of common European identity through various policies, programs, and initiatives.

In 1995, political scientist Donald Emmerson raised a provocative question: Is South-east Asia more like a rose, that is, a region with a vibrant, distinct identity, or is it a unicorn, an elusive construct without a reality? This question challenges us to consider if the region embodies a cohesive identity or exists only as an abstraction. South-east Asia is a vast and diverse region, home to myriad cultures, ethnicities and religious traditions. Some would posit that there are social and cultural commonalities, bound further by overlapping histories of colonisation and trade.
