Summary of our Project
Children face economical problems, family problems (divorced parents,
inadequate communication,unemployment) and social problems (low living
standards, environment, violence, aggression and discrimination).
Some of these students wander in the streets aimlessly, go to
shopping malls, billiard clubs and internet cafes to spend time after
or during school hours. They're unaware of their responsibilities such
as studying or doing homework. Also, some students leave school early
(without completing their obligatory education) as they take a share in
the family income. Coming together with the EU Member States' pupils in
this project, these children will learn about the prohibition of child
labour before the school-leaving age.
Moreover, there are special needs pupils in the partner schools.
Our aim is to make all these children more sociable and school
more attractive to them with the help of games, songs, sketches, drama,
stories, history, films, ICT, native language and English lessons, art
and Maths.
The children who have never gone abroad and can't afford this
will have the chance to see different countries with different
languages, religions, ethnic groups and cultures. This will also arise
their tolerance and respect to other nations.
By actively communicating within the lessons, free-time
activities, through emails, video conferences, Skype, ePals, twitter
and on school visits, the pupils will improve their language skills,
self-esteem, raise their awareness of other cultures and break down
barriers between each country. They will not only be able to talk about
their own problems but also will be able to understand the others'
problems. Also, they will find common and different points of problems
in different nations and find the answers for these problems.
