9.
International Eskisehir Cartoon Festival is organized by Active Philosophy -
Yeni Yuksektepe Cultural Association and Eskisehir Metropolitan Municipality.
The theme of
the ninth International Eskisehir Cartoon Festival is chosen as “World
Heritage“.
SUBJECT: “World Heritage” 3-D documents that define collective
memory of humanity. Monuments, buildings, archaeological areas, ceremonies,
rituals, traditional dances, local productions, elements that constitute the
richness of world heritage could serve as the subject.
Wars that continue in different areas of the world,
global climate change and natural disasters increasing in number in recent
years, threaten the cultural heritage that inspires the humanity and lead to
loss of collective memory.
AIM: To “create an awareness” in the society regarding the
protection of Cultural Heritage which is in danger due to natural disasters,
global climate change and wars; to “encourage thinking” and the most important
of all to “produce a want to contribute”.
We Active Philosophy - Yeni Yüksektepe Cultural
Association and Eskisehir
Metropolitan Municipality, expect talented
