Project involves kindergartens from Greece (Iraklio-Athens) and Poland (Kraczkowa-Podkarpackie). Children from these countries present themselves through photos, films and drawings. They illustrate their kindergarten, make themselves photos during their kindergarten activities, present their national symbols, and present dances and songs from their country. Then participating kindergartens exchange prepared photos, drawings and videos. After initial familiarisation we choose well known fairy tale, then we illustrate it and publish prepared materials on project TwinSpace.
