"On y va - auf geht's!" - Franco - German cooperation within common european projects.
ALEXEJEVA, Antonie
Relations between Germany and France have always been complicated, accompanied by numerous armed conflicts and grudge of two nations against each other. Today, neverthless, we are seeing a completely different relationship between the two neighboring states. The situation in a changing world after the 2nd World War until the late 20th century, and primarily western European integration, determined the future character of the Franco - German cooperation. It took several decades, it has been signed a large number of contracts and made countless discussions about the future shape of Europe, so that the relationship of France and Germany moved forward in the direction of peace and partnership. However, the cooperation on the political level is never enough to make two nations to be reconciled and find common language. Over time and with the development of democratic values in two European countries during the second half of the 20th century, it began to emerge organizations which are active in diverse fields of public welfare and promotion of the international cooperation. There were established specifically focused institutions for the Franco - German cooperation. This work will occupy with the Franco - German cooperation on the civil level, which takes place through projects organized by public welfare organizations. One of such projects is "On y va - auf geht's!" (meant: "let's do it, let's do something to change"). This project illustrates and describes how the current cooperation works and what role it plays in the Franco German coopertaion.
