This project aims to increase the knowledge and awareness of museum amateurs. As it is well known cultural heritage is the body of assets that a nation posses and to be protected with care in order to be passed on to the next generations in a healthy way. Museums are the institutions which serve for the purposes of continuing this cultural heritage, relating the past, the present and the future in a meaningful way, learning about and understanding the own and different cultures with a versatile and tolerant approach, establishing understanding and empathy among cultures, understanding, protecting and cherish the cultural property and relics, and understanding oneself and other people. The museums also have to take the initiative in providing intercultural communication like other institutions (Non Governmental Organizations, universities, public and private sector institutions, etc.) which participate in providing intercultural communication which is carried out during the EU pre-accession period. Because, the museums carry out their activities in the most effective and appropriate field to improve this dialogue. They can make big contributions in improving the dialogue climate by reflecting and introducing the history and the life style of the nations with the artefacts they exhibit. This Project has been prepared by taking into consideration the fact that importance of the museums in providing this dialogue and the necessity that they take place in this process and The Turkish Museum of Foundational Works will be included in this intercultural dialogue process with the planned activities.
