Summary/Abstract: In Latvia, a new curriculum is introduced to provide the opportunity to acquire skills in multidisciplinary context. To achieve that, schools need to implement projects. In this paper, one example of a multidisciplinary project where fieldwork is involved is described. The aim of the research was to create support materials for teachers and students based on practice to experience multidisciplinary fieldwork to develop competencies. In the end, thirteen different support materials for teachers and students were piloted.
