Project Summary

The project was developed in partnership with 5 schools Poland,Macedonia,Italy,Portugal andTurkey. However;Portugal dropped out of the project because of 5 approved projects and inefficient school capacity.Objectives of the Project are:
1-To compare methods of teaching&learning,values of education,school organization&curriculum in order to look for pedagogical innovations
2-To broaden the potential of ICT among all partners’ teachers,pupils,parents and other stakeholders who are the target groups
3-To cultivate mutual respect,to meet colleagues of different nationalities within the EU.
4-To engage in cross-cultural learning experience;enrich communication skills,improve foreign language competencies
5-Sts will build&develop skills to learn other cultures’ sense of music and art.
We reached all of these goals but we will struggle to go on progress after the project duration.
The project works started with making people aware of us and the project so we formed our website- http://erasmus.ctamiwi.com , facebook-https://www.facebook.com/groups/1900269190223307/ and twitter pages- Communication Through Art&Musc Integrated with ICThttps://twitter.com/Zuhal18651560 as the first.As the partnership we mostly communicate on our whatsup &mailing groups and start the project studies on etwinning platform.We organized some project presentation seminars to the pupils,School Board of each school,to the representatives of non-teaching staff of the schools,families and representatives of the municipality or similar Town Hall.Each sub-coordinator,the contact person set up their Erasmus+ Leadership Team which is responsible for coordination,planning,monitoring, implementation,management,evaluation,dissemination of materials/activities.
