One world is our local environment, but the other we live in is a multicultural world where different countries, religions and ideologies mix. The contact with the foreign partners will influence students’ opinions and views. Students will try to present themselves and their surroundings according to reality (without artificial descriptions). Students express the acceptance of themselves. They also learn how to accept other people the way they are. Students become familiar with the meaning of stereotype and its mechanisms. Young people should realize that first of all we are humans. Notions, religions, ideologies and traditions are on the second place. Students will learn how to be tolerant. They will develop the feeling of empathy. They will be able to function in Europe in a natural way. Thanks to this project students will have the opportunity to develop the language accuracy and fluency and to use modern ways of communications. hide
