    Annotation This article describes the results of an experimental study on the impact of ethnographic project activities on the development of students' intercultural competencies. Intercultural competencies are important in growing diversity of multicultural societies and help a person to respond flexibly and properly, function in culturally significant situations. A three-level model of intercultural competence, including cognitive, affective and behavioral aspects is used as a theoretical and methodological basis for this study. We also used experimental methods developed for children to examine the intercultural competences of students. This study can be characterized as a formative experiment and was conducted among second grade students (N = 18). At the formative stage of the study the children were involved into extracurricular project activities related to the study of costumes of various ethnic groups. The work on the projects was divided into three phases. The first phase: gathering information about the ethnic group the students had chosen. The second phase: making an album of traditional clothes. The third phase of the project: creating an element of costume or jewelry. All three phases of the project were devoted to one ethnic group, which was chosen by the students. Students had the opportunity to complete the project individually or in small groups. At the control stage a positive change occurred in all three components of students' intercultural competence, but statistically significant changes were revealed only in the intercultural knowledge component (p < 0.01). Thus, the effectiveness of the developed ethnographic project activity, so as the scientific and practical validity of its application for the development of students' intercultural competencies, was proved.
