To work in full cooperation among partners in order to create a common framework in which competence in the respect of the different cultures are developed. The main problem we would like to address is ethnic culture, namely, traditional clothing. They can easily identify countries by their national costumes because of its colours and unique artistic design. Nowadays examples of national costumes are preserved historical relicts in museums. National clothing are wearing folk dance and songs groups members. You can see their presentations during national events and of course on TV. An ethnic doll is a perfect gift to a foreigner in our modern life. Still many young people in different countries never had worn their national costume. They feel more confident in their modern clothing. We decided to do this project to promote interest in ethnic culture. After the students in helpful ways will gather information about national clothing, they will learn to make dolls as a symbol of themselves and to dress them in national dresses. However representatives of the countries should present their national costumes in the finaly workshop. The final products will be all made by international teams during every meeting. That will avoid competition among countries. The role of the teachers during the process will be guiding and supporting students work. We look forward, some students and teachers in our collaborating schools will foster willingness to make a national costume to themselves.
