Project Summary

With the partnersip of 5 different schools from Lithuania, Turkey, Poland and Romania and Greece our project begins in September 2019
Reading skills constitute a major part of the curriculum for every school. Due to the fact that there is a common deficiency and poorness in developing reading literacy, our project provides solutions for potential problems based on learning, teaching and educational activities which are local and beyond national. Like the other projects that we have carried out up to now, our main objective is to develop the consciousness for reading.
The goal of this project is to provide versatile labour techniques for primary and secondary school students by creating opportunities to activate their vocabulary and to avoid some basic problems which cause them to fail in their school lives.
There are some other specific goals of our project, too. One of them is to create a lifelong reading rhythm for children in order to improve their learning competence. Moreover, we would like to make the students beware of the world in which they live, by developing the literacy competence based on literary and non-literary texts.
Low secondary school students and teachers will directly benefit from this project. In order to take part in short-term exchanges, 48 students, between 12 and 15 years old, have been chosen. In addition, there will be 24 teachers taking part in their training activities.
Other students and the rest of the teachers in our partner schools will indirectly benefit from our project. Furthermore, the parents of partner school students will also be able to make use of it. In this project, there will be 763 students and 68 teachers. We will be able to have the chance to welcome our guests, who are local writers (on efor each country), ex-students in the participant schools (at least three for each), librarians and booksellers in the activities that will be held during the project.
The activities that we have planned are the formation of libraries in every classroom, introduction of literary book in schools, conferences with the writers, selection and formation of project teams, visiting local libraries and bookshops, using latest technologies to develop reading skills, watching movies and plays of well-known books, making students write their own stories, reading sessions with families and writing brochures so as to improve reading awareness.
There will be several important outcomes of this project: students will exchange their experiences, all partner schools will form their own reading clubs in order to make their students read literary and non-literary books, reading will become much more attractive for students, students will be encouraged by the writers for reading and writing as well, all the partner schools will have their own newspapers and magazines, students will also be encouraged to speak English with the partner school students, there will be English-speaking-clubs in every participant school.
The results will be:
Students will be encouraged to read more.

Students will speak not only their local language but also English.
Students will have a wider perspective of the world they live in.
