Project Summary

Our aim was to create awareness on students, teachers, families and society against the natural disasters and terror attacks in Europe-wide and carry out trainings about these topics. After these events took place, we organized studies through the voluntary teams constructed by the teachers and students in the partner countries which gave a helping hand both corporeal and incorporeal. In this way our students became more sensitive and learnt to respect other humans’ lives without discriminating the religion, belief, language, race, social class or different politic views. They recognized the importance of international help and cooperation.

We wanted to unite all the students, teachers and families under the name of European Students Red Roof (EUSRR) Project and spread this volunteerism with the help of multiplier effect. Under this roof to contribute Europe to become more conscious and enduring against natural disasters, accidents and terror affairs, we carried out studies within our potentiality and capability in natural disaster and terror. In this way we increased the sensitivity of the society.

In this project we carried out activities and studies, which informed and educated the society that found solutions by forming cooperation on the basis of complimentary helpfulness.

As a part of this project’s content, without allowing our students to be affected negatively, we involved them actively into different activities. The most important reason of this project’s being student-oriented is students’ perceptions at that age were wider and it was easy to teach them sense of cooperation. Because of this reason this was the most appropriate age to give them the consciousness of ‘’ every human being is valuable and has right to live’’.

In this project by analysing good techniques and innovative approaches, with the help of activities such as preparing educative booklets, videos, practical educations, seminars, we aimed more sensitive Europe, by reaching wide masses, in natural disasters and terror topics.

Our aims were:
– Gaining safe life awareness and volunteering spirit and teaching to be respectful to human life
– Spreading around volunteering and team spirit
– Teaching intervention methods during a natural disaster
– Teaching students what to do after and before a natural disaster
– Teaching prevention methods for terror and terror attacks

The target group of our project was students between the age 10-18, their teachers and families. Project outputs were student, family and teacher seminars, good practices book, education booklet and guide, theatres, project exhibitions, school project boards, research reports, project web sites, project presentation posters and brochures. The most important output was the “European Students Red Roof” volunteer team. The project visibility rules were applied with great care during the project.

The most important effect of the project was to teach volunteering spirit, not waiting everything from the government and making every kind of aid when it was necessary. Our project gave brotherhood, unity, cooperation feeling. The project was an education source and gave good behaviours to our children.

All the activities and works were spread around during the project and after the project. So, in order to support the participation to the activities, press release, inviting press to the project activities, opening project exhibition, distributing project poster and brochures, distributing book outputs were realized.
