Project Summary

This is an education project mainly focused on “IMPROVING BOOK READING, TRASNFORMING KNOWLEDGE INTO PRACTICAL ACTIVITIES” and leading our students to read more, to be active more by participating in Arts, ICT, Media, Literary, Social and Volunteering activities. So its move is “ EDUCATED AND ACTIVE CITIZENSHIP”. It is developed by participation of schools from Europe Union.
Whenever you read a book, you learn a new information that otherwise would not have known. Studies have shown that reading has strong positive effects on the brain. Every time people read a book, you have to remember the setting of the book, the characters, their backgrounds, their history, their personalities, the sub-plots and so much more. As your brain learns to remember all this, your memory becomes better. Reading has a positive effect on the body as well. Reading a book can relieve stress better than taking a walk or listening to music. The more people read, the more imaginative they become. Whenever children read a fiction book, it takes them another world. One of the primary benefits of reading books is its ability to develop critical thinking skills. Critical thinking skills are crucial when it comes to making important day to day decisions. Reading improves children vocabulary and command on the language. As they read, they come across new words, idioms, new words, phrases and writing styles.

OBJECTIVES
The completion of the project will lead our students to read more, to be active more by participating in Arts, ICT, Media, Literary, Social and Volunteering activities.
Our students will be active readers and they will gain skills for how to transform a book into their own products.
We will struggle to make books important again since the books are the true source for true information.
The project will promote to have better literary pleasure, to face with arts and to recognise cultural treasure between our students

ACTIVITIES
The project include two types of action. On the one side students will read books (NOVELS, PHILOSOPHY, POETRY, BIOGRAPHY) on the other side they will develop activities such as SCENARIO, WRITING ESSAYS, CREATING POETRY MAGAZINE, TAKING SHORT MOVIES. Every partner will read on their own national books and when they come together in the LTTA meetings, they will meet them together and produce their activities together. Activities and products will be multi national.

METHEDOLOGY
After the beginning of the project, we will set up project clubs in the schools and will announce the students to join the club. Minimum 50 students will be involved. These 50 students will be divided into 5 teams as; Literature Team, ICT teams, Culture Team, Magazine Team, Arts Team. These team will be given tasks for a curtain duration regards to stages and activities of the project. All teams will work and support the main body of the project under supervision the teachers. There are 6 L/T/T/A in two years. Teachers will lead the students to join all kind of activities (Book reading, Creation of scenario, magazine, taking short movie; etc./ the usual side activities like; preparing Erasmus+ corner, taking photos and videos to put into digital monitor, logo contest, joining seminars, preparing traveller manuals, etc. )

PARTICIPANT
Our project is prepared mainly for the students and all the stages are designed for them. Teachers are added into as supervisor and beneficiaries. Administrative staff are the other participants. Parents and local community will be the side beneficiaries since they will be the target group of while we are disseminating our project activities, outputs and results.

An important impact will be provided to the participant by the project, direct and indirectly. The possibility to be in direct contact with students and teachers from other countries and especially working together for reaching common goals will lead to positive changes within institutions involved.
