Getting to know each other in a creative way and thereby discovering similarities and differences is the aim of the project. The target group are people from all Danube countries, who do not know each other and who do not share a common language.
The project consists of three steps:
1. Create a personal Danube Box
2. Present the box to the other participants and get conversation started in a creative way
3. Organize an event/exhibition at which the boxes can be presented
