Justification of the project

• The project predicts complete research of the
  traditional dances characteristic for the region,
  traditional costumes and their completion. With
  creation of a single set of costumes (24) the
  Ensemble for traditional dances Bojmija will
  represent the rich folklore tradition in
  Gevgelija and the region to the wider public with
  participation on cultural manifestations in the
  country and abroad. Beside this, the trained
  participants on the courses, who will make the
  dresses, will be able to continue with the making
  of traditional handicrafts, enabling conditions
  for sustainability.
