The project aimed at putting up of a theatre structure that produced cultural activities promoting the identity of the Dobrudjhan Russian lipovans, Roma and Turkish ethnics.

This puppet theatre structure was created to stimulate a more profound understanding of the cultural diversity and consolidate the intercultural dialogue by including the culture of the minorities, fighting against preconception and discrimination, and by raising awareness of the community through promoting a European Dobrudjhan identity.

The knowledge of the targeted audience was also enhanced by documenting the cultural history and intensifying the intercultural dialogue through the production of thematic brochures: "Yesterday and today" about the communities of Russian lipovans, Roma and Turks from Dobrudjha.
