Countries’ capitals are the most beautiful and the most interesting towns with lots of interesting sights, secrets and histories of the city. Our proposed

The main idea of the project is to analyse and describe the uniqueness and originality of the national capital on the one hand, and to identify the problems and strategies for the preservation of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in different countries on the other hand. In spite of the fact that the geopolitical situation, culture and history of each country is different, the project attemps to find common ground and reveal the historical and cultural curiosities of different capitals. We hope that students from different schools, nationalities and religious beliefs will be glad to explore the inexhaustible topic of cultural secrets, to familiarize themselves with the uniqueness of their country, and to broaden their outlook.
