“Cultural diversity is part of our common history, and is shared by all of us today. Its importance should be recognized by all people today and tomorrow”
(Article 1, UNESCO Universal Declaration of cultural diversity)
Major project learning goals: Students will learn about their own cultures and the cultures of other countries. Expand the awareness of cultures around the world. Improve Spelling skills, Grammar skills, Letter writing skills, Geography skills.
Description of the collaboration results: In the process of working students learnt facts about their own native culture thought research and the culture of the partner country , comparing and find the similarities. As a result students create cultural corners of the partner country at their school. Culture Corner was created in order to collect and exchange pieces of information from partnering cultures, ex. 
Country flag, national costumes, food, toys/trinkets, money, stamps, cards, and pictures. While writing letters, communicating and exchanging the information about cultural topics students have improved their language skills, grammar skills and writing skills.
Personal reflection of the participant of the project: I made a conclusion that everything in the world has its differences and similarities. The Cultural Corner in our classroom makes us feel that we also been to USA and got to know the way of life there. I liked this project the most because we really got to know others , now I know what Miami is, where it is situated and what are the people like there, it is much more interesting to get to know each by communicating though Internet rather than reading boring geography books.
Online media or technologies used:
We used Internet to communicate and exchange with pictures, to search for more information about Uzbek and American culture, digital camera to take pictures and Macromedia Dream weaver to create a web-link of the project, Adobe Photoshop 7.0 to edit pictures, Power Point to create a presentation about Uzbekistan, online vocabulary in order to translate unfamiliar words.
