Semin Bristina has had a special hobby since a young age and has now put it into a blog. Now I'm excited to see what I'll find there.
Thanks for sharing, dear Heinrich!
Today I published a post on the topic of “Cultural Appropriation”.
An attempt at an explanation based on my own observations in Heilbronn: for the first decades the three groups (Serbs, Croats and Bosnians) danced as a single Yugoslavian group. Literally overnight the group split into three groups. The long-time trainer continued to support all three groups.
And so it was understandable that all three groups at the European meeting point danced the same thing, at least from an outside perspective. I always liked how dancers from the individual groups helped each other out - contrary to the “warlike” mood in their respective clubs. And I was really pleased when we had to improvise with the program, the Bosnian group helped out and the other two groups immediately joined in as well - this was the real highlight for me in all the decades of meeting point Europe.
Brief conclusion: 1. Culture changes with people and never remains the same or even “pure”. 2. Culture consists at least of appropriation. 3. Tradition must also look forward if it wants to preserve the past.
The European meeting point has always been the “highlight” of the year for us. We have worked towards presenting ourselves to the audience with a new performance every year. It was always an honor and a pleasure for us to take part in the festival.
Who knows, maybe better times will come again and we will experience a “relaunch” of local politics in Heilbronn.
As you say, culture changes with people and never stays the same, so I also believe that we can change politics with people, we just need enough people to participate.
Addition: Inflation is stronger than before the euro?
No. The euro has been around for 25 years. On average, the Eurosystem (ECB + national central banks) achieved the inflation target significantly better between 1999 and 2020 than was the case before. The phase of current inflation as a result of the Corona crisis and the supply bottlenecks and the energy crisis has driven up prices worldwide in 2021 and 2022. Inflation has been falling continuously since the end of 2022 and is approaching 2% again.
In addition, the common currency has given Europe stability in various crises.
The common currency supports the domestic market and has helped Germany achieve strong export performance.
Thank you, I have posted your post in the relevant forum. I would also be happy to unlock you for the forum, so you can also actively participate there.
I would like to add to the minutes of the “Europe Now!” discussion group that we participants also debated how “natural” Europe has become, especially for us younger people. Many of us don't know any different. Travel without borders, pay in euros, no customs fees when shopping online, we hardly know any other way. It is important to demonstrate these freedoms in order to arouse interest in Europe.
Likewise, the majority of the group agreed that we are not afraid, but rather feel concern and uncertainty when we observe current developments.
Dear Semin, this addition actually belongs as an answer under the post: https://kuemmerle.name/foren/topic/protokolle-7-hertensteiner-gespraeche#postid-291 by Walther Heipertz. You can find this option as “Answers” immediately to the right below each forum post.
The good thing about it is that everyone involved in the post will then receive a reference to your corresponding answer.
This comment function here is intended for the 'general' of the forum.
Would be a topic for the next round on January 18.1.2023th, XNUMX, right? It's no good if we fill it up alone 😉
As we were able to determine, the half-life of such rounds is not sufficient to fill a forum even remotely. Where non-binding has become a principle, you really have to think about completely new communication channels.

My German is rusty, but someone has described my personal site not just as dangerous, but *VERY* dangerous! 😊
