About+the+project

Since one of the most important elements of getting to know new partners and cultures is by observing and exploring each other's common life we decided to focus on our traditional values, customs and behaviours in different spheres of our daily existence. We believe that by observing and sharing various elements of our lives we present the reliable picture of our regional and national identity. We want to learn from each other about one another. Our goal is simply that students and teachers do and engage in activities that are typical and traditional to their regions and countries. The elements of our traditions we would like to focus on are both attractive and important. We will learn about and present our traditional dresses. Both students and teachers will prepare traditional dishes. We will share songs and dances typical of our regions. Christmas and Easter traditions will be written about and shared. Moreover, we will have a look at jobs that are typical to the part of the country we live in. Traditional sports will be played in our schools. Many of these elements will be presented during our partner visits. Miscellaneous media will be used to record these activities. The results will be shared among the partners who will realise one another's rich cultural heritage. Also, these undertakings will be beneficiary because students and teachers will be consolidated in common efforts that will strengthen their feeling of their national and regional identity. Participating in the project they will take pride in preparing and presenting their typical customs and traditions. What is more, we believe that those tasks will be done and performed with great joy as they are the things that are close to the participants and, in many cases, the ones they observe regularly. __**CONCRETE OBJECTIVES OF THE PARTNERSHIP:**__
