The main idea of this project is getting to know the traditions, customs and culture of certain regions within Europe. In the first year the main aim was presenting our partners with the closest environment of the schools and in the following two years we will move to the culture, customs and traditions of the countries. We tried to involve as many pupils as possible, we took pictures of the school and its surroundings, prepared a PowerPoint presentation, films about Christmas traditions (we bought a dvd camera), we recorded a folk song, prepared a dance manual and a folk dance show. In the first year we participated two project meetings - in Sasso di Castalda in Italy(headmistress and coordinator) where the plan of activities was made, we exchanged our flags and folk dolls in typical folk costumes. The second meeting took place in May 2006 in Ankara, Turkey where two teachers and four pupils participated. Pupils from all partner schools participated in a folk dance show, they stayed with Turkish families and experienced the life of children in Turkey, learnt about their culture and history.

We are in the 3 -th year of this project and a separate part of this web site is devoted to it.
