This project aims mainly at encouraging intercultural dialogue .The partner classes will have a chance to present information on their own culture and that of their partner. They will look for similarities and differences between the two cultures and at the same time they could learn about other children and their way of life. They will learn to communicate and accept diversity. Students will work together on turning a chosen fairytale into a PowerPoint presentation. Language skills and creative writing will be improved.
