This document outlines a European education project aimed at teaching children about diversity. The main goals are to make children sensitive to differences between European cultures, work on diversity at a child's level, and develop English skills. The project involves children from different countries watching a cartoon produced in Latvia, brainstorming ideas for their own cartoon, defining characters based on each child's qualities, and recording and filming their story to produce their own cartoon promoting diversity. The project was well-received by children but required significant support from teachers and was challenging to complete by the end of the school year.
