The name implies the idea behind the project: people along the Danube want to be connected to each other. The project\u2019s approach: to crochet a simple woolen handmade ribbon\u2013 at its best as long as the Danube river (2.857 km) as a symbol of a wanted Danube community and a demonstration of togetherness. The wool which was used in the project, was donated. The big finale of the project was the presentation on the Cathedral square (M\u00fcnsterplatz) in Ulm during the International Danube festival in Ulm on 13<sup>th<\/sup> of July 2014. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project was combined with numerous activities in all Danube countries in schools, associations, seniors\u2019 organizations and in a &#8220;civil society&#8221; action during the Danube festival, in which the participants got to know each other better, especially people living in the South-East countries along the Danube river and to understand what they do, where and how they live. It was also a chance to talk, to share ideas and experiences and to create ideas for common projects. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The project combined approaches of the urban knitting initiatives with methods of the activating pedagogy as well as with approaches of oral history.  Designed as a parallel to the European Union\u2019s Danube Area Strategy, which involves policies and economy, the goal of \u201cThe Wanted Danube\u201d was addressing people on a personal level. They viewed it as a positive challenge to get involved with each other and to improve their mutual knowledge, especially people from Western and South Eastern Europe, as well as the people from different ethnicities in various Danube countries <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Project partners:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>DANET e.V., Germany<\/li><li>ILEU e.V., Ulm, Germany<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-1074","project","type-project","status-publish","hentry","keyword-craftsmanship","keyword-danube-strategy","keyword-disability","keyword-diversity","keyword-intercultural","keyword-intergenerational-practice","keyword-skills","keyword-solidarity"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1074","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/project"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1074\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2448,"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/project\/1074\/revisions\/2448"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bbe-toolbox.eu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1074"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
