Summary of the activities
For those who didn’t know, Vojvodina is a northern province of Serbia where more than 27 different nationalities live in traditional harmony between them (in most of cases, with exceptions). There are five official languages spoken here.

To begin with, ten different folk tales, one for each nationality, and ten different directors of different ageaffinity-vision and working technique, should make ten episodes based on the written proposal.

Our goal is to make something that will last. The folk tales and legends are imperishable, because they emerged and stayed present in the conscious of each of us. We hope that this series will be popular among all ages, classes, groups and ethnic groups even after fifty years. Each episode is made in the mother tongue of the specific ethnic group, and they are always translated into Serbian or English (for external diffusion).

The suggested project will bind some very important factors of culture in Vojvodina and neighboring countries. For the first time in closer or even further history of this region, representatives of all nations living here will be gathered around one, mutual project. Moreover, local institutions concerned with heritage, protection and production of cultural-artistic programme of international importance will work in unison; and that, according to the information available to us, happens rarely.
