Located in the Southern Caucasus, on the western coast of the Caspian
Sea, Azerbaijan occupies the world's most important strategic crossroads
between East and West. Being a country at the center of historic Silk
Road, Azerbaijan treasures its natural and cultural diversity.
Every year on 21st of March, Azerbaijani people celebrate the New Year -
Novruz. The history of this holiday is dates back to 4th century B.C. It
is the celebration of the vernal equinox and the symbolic renewal of
nature. Novruz is a unique holiday uniting four elements of life.
Virtually, celebrations start four weeks before the actual day of
festivity. These four weeks - or, exactly four Tuesdays - are each
devoted to one of the four elements: water, fire, wind (air) and earth.
Novruz traditions are strongly associated with fire, which also is
believed a way to purify oneself. Making fires on streets, roofs and
elevated points is wide accepted and jumping over a fire on Last Tuesday
is considered compulsory for community members regardless to their age
and sex.
You are invited to celebrate this holiday in Baku, capital of
Azerbaijan. An unbelievable week with rich cultural and social program
will stay at your memory forever. An event full of fun and adventures
with delicious Azerbaijani dishes, traditional dance, games, parties,
visits to ancient fire worship place "Ateshgah", mystic Yanardag (Fire
mountain) near Baku, open air Gobustan museum with rock paintings dating
primordial ages, Maiden Tower, walk in Old City (both included in the
World's Cultural Heritage of UNESCO), baot trip in Caspian sea and more
interesting things... Don't miss this occasion and join us in these nice
days. We will begin our program with Fire Party on 17th March and end on
21st of March with Big Novruz party.
The program is entirely cultural and aims at introducing Azerbaijani
culture to students from other European countries. There will be one
evening dedicated to presentation of participants' countries. It will
give us a unique opportunity to better understand each other's
traditions and promote diversity as a richness of Europe.
