Project
This project is organized for local children by the non-profit educational association Alternative Language Programs Satellite within its annual activities on multicultural issues for kids. The project’s aim is to introduce the diversity of world cultures to children and provide them with good practices in intercultural communication using the learning-by-doing method and organizing alternative English language practice. The project gets the kids of 10 to 13 years old familiar with customs and traditions of the countries from all over the world and encourages them to develop their cross-cultural thinking and tolerance. The common theme for all camps this year is Preservation of World Cultural Heritage. Within the theme, camp participants guided by international volunteers are going to discuss issues important for personal and social development.
