Description:
One of the most crucial properties of a nation's existence and that makes it differ from others, is its custom and traditions, holidays and rituals that the nation follow throughout the history. Mental values of the nation are reflected in its traditions, national and religious holidays, state celebrities which form the nation as a unique in this globalized and hectic world. These holidays are a crucial and essential part of our culture that make us familiar to the world.
Every nation has specific holidays with specific traditions that can be extremely interesting to others. We're on eTwinning - an international space where every participant will share their holiday traditions, rituals, its celebration descriptions and some stories about their history if accessible.
The project aims to involve schools from 5 different countries. Since each of them represents different cultures, 5 nations will have a great chance to get to know one another's holidays and customs, be aware of some holiday rituals by the help of this project and if will lead students to mingle as one single family.
Our children are pure, peaceful, their souls are so far from evil. They should get used to live in a peaceful place where there're no wars. We have to teach our children friendship, collaboration and must have them love to live in a world apart from terror, evil and wars. This project dealing with culture will be a good tool to gain this purpose.

Work Process
The project is planned to begin in mid October 2017 and will go up to May 15, 2018. 5 paces will be followed by the participants.
Pace 1. Introduction. This step will cover October 15- November 15
Each participating teacher will add 6-12 students aged 10-12. Students added by their teachers will introduce themselves in the way they prefer. Padlet, PPT, MP4 files uploaded on YouTube or any other preferred tools are applicable for this pace. A Skype Group meeting or Video conference via Blackboard Collaborate is approved for this pace. (date will be discussed)Pace 2. November 15- December 30.
Students will present the holidays appropriate to the nation taking place in this period. Video presentations, PPT, blogs, photos taken during the celebrities are to be shared in the Twinspace.
Pace 3. January 5 - February 28.
Students will be enrolled in writing activities throughout this pace. Threads with the name of the holidays will be created in the forum. The threads will contain a story about the holiday and its history. Students will be encouraged to comment to one another's stories and learn more about the holidays described.
Pace 4. March 1 - April 30.
Two main types of activities have to be fulfilled during this pace.
1. E-book is planned to be compiled in this pace. Each team's separate contribution will be strongly needed.
2. Students will make a colourful poster for their eTwinning corner.Unless the school has any corner just a little board titled "My Holidays - My Culture on eTwinning" is OK.
Pace 5. May 1 - 15. Assessment.
This is the time students sum up all they have learned and gained during the project. We're offering to organize a terse and modest event for reporting to the school staff and society. Students will be supplied with certificates of achievement for their activity during the project. Choice is up to the participants.
Special NOTE:
Teams have to choose one national or state holiday for Skype presentation. The date of the meeting will be fixed according to the teams' decision. For special performances ONLINE EVENTs are also possible and suitable.
