Our project is entitled European Little Hearts discover the culture box with their magic steps.
In the partnership “European little hearts discover the culture box with their magic steps” the partners intend to get the children working together with teachers and parents to describe their cultural identity in an illustrative and creative way, at the same time using modern information and communication technology.
We have selected some aspects of culture, in which the changes throughout a few generations will be easy to follow via the personal histories of pupils and their parents These aspects include old occupations, old clothes, old houses, old street games and toys. 
The 2-year Project consists of local student-based activities and mobilities. Each partnering country will host one visit. Year 1 of the Project will focus on two sub-themes – old occupations and old clothes. Year 2 of the project will focus on the sub-themes of old houses and old Street games/toys. Each of them will allow working on different topics through activities, comparing the old versus the new and thus finding the common points that define a culture.
The project will reinforce communication between generations, bring fresh approaches into teaching and give children an understanding of multiculturalism and integration at an early age. Pupils will find that learning has become more attractive; that their culture can have similarities with other EU countries cultures; that sharing information and experiences is enjoyable.
