Make students actively closer to this kind of art of to train attentive observers and critics. Basically our main priority is the inclusion of the minorities inside the European society being aware that they bring to the community an inheritance of millenary traditions. The richness of these values cannot be simply absorbed or forgot, they still have and preserve their value. So our task is to make students closer to the more intense relationships with the “outside world”, cooperation extended between the stakeholders, This open-minded attitude towards “the others” is also intended for a wide variety of expressions (art, languages, theatre) and to new technologies and changes.
