General presentation
Continuing the works presented at the former Interdisciplinary Colloquiums on Proverbs (see ICP07, ICP08 e ICP09) as well the enthusiasm of participants to carry out a forth version, the Organizing Committee presents the rational for the 4th Interdisciplinary Colloquium on Proverbs (ICP10).
Why?

On the other hand it will be an important lookout spot for linguists, historians, translators, folklorists, paremiographers, etc. to the fields of each other and to the work the devotees of proverbs have done. We can speak of an international heritage. The paremiological emphasis will be clearly visible in the aims of the Colloquium:
O1 – to create an intercultural dialogue by means of groups in wide networks;
O2 – to discuss new trends in our communicational and technological epoch;
O3 – to increase initiatives for life-long-learning strategies in education;
