One of the main tasks of the state cultural policy is to maintain and enrich a traditional and cultural heritage of the country. Traditional culture is the most important part of the spiritual and cultural spheres of any nation, it is also the base of the formation of the national self-conscious. This wide notion includes national traditions, the peculiarities of the ethnic rites, rituals, holidays, craft, etc. It also includes the amateur art of the people, which includes national songs, music, dances, theatre, poetry, handicrafts.
The role of national culture
The meaning and the role of the national culture cannot be overestimated. This is one of the forms of transferring the national experience and wisdom, it is a source of the formation of the national personality, as well as one of the tools of breading the new generation. National culture is a way of self-identification of the nation. This notion becomes even more important at the time of huge migration of the people and globalization. The European Union faces a challenge of creation of the comfortable conditions of life of the representatives of all the nationalities and of letting them maintain their culture and traditions. The costal and maritime regions of Europe feel the biggest need in it, as the majority of emigrants and refugees come to the EU mostly via their territory and, very often, decide to stay there. If this issue is solved, many social problems of the European Union will disappear. It will also help to build the international European society, which will be based on social, religion and economic equality of the people.
Ways of promotion
The promotion of the development of cultural heritage and connections between the countries and the nations can be executed in such spheres as tourism, business, personal contacts, etc. the popularization of the green tourism will help the Europeans of the continental part of the Europe, as well as the people from other continents, to learn the culture of the European coastal and maritime regions. Special courses and master-classes of local handicrafts will also attract much attention to the culture and traditions of this part of Europe. It will also help to improve the situation with unemployment and will attract new waves of tourists. The European coastal and maritime regions are famous for their rich and delicious cuisine. It is another big attraction for the tourists. People should do everything to maintain these traditions as they are priceless.
