Abstract

In this paper the author deals with the nature of culture, the culture
of peace, education as an eminently cultural activity, and the
projections of the future. The author defines culture as people’s cooperation in improving the quality of their lives and considers it at the same time to be both a part of individuals and a part of communities.
Furthermore, the author advocates the culture of peace and cooperation and argues that culture in principle promotes peace, eliminates war and immanently strives for the ascendancy of peaceful cooperation among people. For the sake of peace and understanding the author thinks that the united Europe ought to standardize learning and education concerning the optimal forms of togetherness. And finally the author promotes the concept of “project identity” i.e. emerging identity.
