During the second week
of our living and volunteering here, as an Inspiring Ambassadors of Cultures,
we decided to create our logo. The logo included
national symbols of each country, Portugal, Macedonia and Belarus.
1. As you can guess, the branch of
olive represents Portugal, country located in the Western part of Europe.
The history of the
olive tree is as old as the existence of the people of the Mediterranean.
Immortal tree of enormous wealth. The most important symbols attributed to the
olive are: victory, peace, progress,
abundance, wisdom, justice, fertility, purification, divinity, strength, reward,
among others. The ancients whenever they wanted to search for water and make a hole to use it. This ancestral technique is only possible because of magnetism and movement.
Olive tree represents hope for a better and peaceful future.
2. The Sun, represents Republic of
Macedonia, a small country located on Balkan Peninsula in Southeast Europe. Speaking about Macedonia,
there are a lot of things that are maybe more common, like traditional food „ajvar“ and „tavce-gravce“,
or the Ohrid pearl, but we chose the sun.
Why?
If you listen to
Macedonian anthem, it starts with the words: „ Today on Macedonia, is born the new
sun of liberty“. The national
flag of the country depicts a stylized yellow sun on a red field, with
eight broadening rays extending from the center to the edge of the field. On the top of the coat of the
arms, there is also a sun.
It symbolizes freedom
and fight for the own rights.
3. Last, but not less important is the White Stork that is considered
to be a symbol of Belarus, country located in Easter Europe.
The white stork is very fond of Belarusian people.
Many folk songs are written associated with these birds. The white stork is the holy bird
to the Belarusian people. They believe that the storks settle only for good people. The
Belarusian government declared the white stork as the national animal of
Belarus.
