Culture, art, story, tales, love and equality in pre-primary – CASTLES

The partners are pre-primary and primary schools from Greece, Italy, Latvia and Poland.

The project involves European tradition, castles and tales connected with them instilling into children’s values such as respect to the national culture, heritage, national symbols and to promote the respect to foreign cultures and traditions, the equality of humans, disregarding the age, sex and background. All the schools have discussed and negotiated the overall objectives and impact that we wish to obtain from this as follows:
