Summary: Students are invited to send pictures about folk costumes in their countries, describe them and eventually write a few lines about different occasions people wear them.
Description: The project is meant to give the students from as many countries as possible, a chance to share their folk/national costumes with other students and teachers in the world, to promote their folk art and traditions.

The pictures can be sent by email, as attachments, or by snail mail to: Cornelia Platon, Str. Vlad Tepes Nr.4, Bl. A2, Ap.3, Cod 4650 Dej, Jud. Cluj, Romania.
