blog and private
emails. They are
going to present
themselves to

materials.The plan
of work will be
pretty flexible and
accepted by all the
partners and it will
be cohesive with
the curriculum of
each school,
containing a lot of
joint activities
aiming at

similarities and
differences ,each

CULTURAL
HERITAGE
Christmas, New
Year traditions and
books on
Christmas.The
folklore of customs
covers and carries
on the oldest
stratum of
traditional culture.
It includes
primitive forms of
thinking preserved
in beliefs, rituals
and practices the
meaning of which
was very often
entirely forgotten
by the
practitioners, who
observed them
simply by virtue of
tradition. Most
representative in
this sense appear
to be the New
Year customs,
spreading from
Christmas Eve
(December 24 th)
to Epiphany
(January 6th),
over the period of
time known as
The Twelve
Days. We invite
our partners to

and/or the ebook

in time comparing
past or present
experiences
related to this
topic. Maybe a
collaboration with
teachers from
universities/
researchers

specialised
publishing houses,
cultural and
educational
magazines,
librarians will take
part). A

TRADITIONAL
COSTUMES The
clothes and the
house, by their
protection and
identification
functions
resemble the
people who
created them. By
reproducing the
particular forms of
the dressed and
sheltered body,
these have great
identity value,
concisely
expressed by the
Romanian saying:
You recognise the
tree by its
bark/The man by
his clothes. Both
male and female
costume show
some uniform
features in terms
of the materials
used, their cut,
ornaments and
colours. We invite
our partners to
describe their
traditional
costumes and to
share the meaning
of pieces. They
can present some
