Znad morza nad morze. Kaszubskie wyprawy na Krym

Abstract

The author of the text, who has studied Kashubian culture and literature for many years, examines an interesting example of an intercultural contact of ethnic minorities from the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. A few years ago in the Reconciliation and Meeting House in Gdańsk, thanks to a project started by an American foundation, an initiative of supporting ethnic minorities and their mutual learning of their respective cultures was started and later realized in Kashuby by Arkadiusz Goliński. As part of this initiative, there have been several travels of Kashubians to the Crimea. The last such trip took place in July 2012, when a group of Kashubian activists and journalists arrived in Crimea in the search for common cultural spaces between Kashubians and Crimean Tatars. The article is an attempt to analyse this journey and its literary evidence.
