In an increasingly globalized and diverse world, it is essential to provide students with the essential skills and mindsets necessary to engage with other cultures. Learning English as a universal language does not only facilitate communication but also promotes openness and understanding of other cultures. For that reason, it is important to work on developing intercultural competence of students as it fosters a sense of inclusion, empathy and mutual understanding. Recognizing its significance, the Croatian Ministry of Science and Education has made intercultural competence a priority by incorporating it into the curriculum. Although intercultural competence is spread across various subjects, this study will focus on its development within the context of learning English. The eTwinning platform, which facilitates connections between both teachers and students across Europe, plays an important role in developing intercultural competence. Moreover, it is an excellent opportunity to enhance ICT (Information and Communication Technology) skills among participants. The aim of this thesis is to present findings of a research conducted through the eTwinning project named Legends & Culture, designed to assess the levels of intercultural competence among participating students before and after its implementation. The project involved fifth-grade students from Karlovac (Croatia) and Tbilisi (Georgia), who were given the task of creating comic books representing their national legends. The project included four meetings with Croatian students, two of which were Zoom sessions with their Georgian counterparts. The thesis argues that engaging in a project of this kind can lead to a development of students' intercultural competences.
