"The diary  reports  what cultural institutions were  visited by a child, what impressions he received. This is a unique story of his achievements in understanding the culture. For example, about how much the child spoke at the event. The project has a global task - to expand the horizons of our pupils. Diary motivates children and their parents to attend cultural events as often as possible and get through this knowledge every day, "- said Leyla Fazleeva.

She also added that there is a contest for the best "Cultural pupil’s  diary." In  his diaries, no free space: glued tickets, children filled the pages with stories about their experiences, someone does not even have sheets and had homemade paste. Some pupils  were not limited to the diary and created  additional portfolios, which describe in detail their cultural experiences and illustrate their photos.
