Project Summary

In recent years, migrations from east to west have increased rapidly for various reasons.Linguistic imcompetence, economical problems, school attendance problems make it difficult for them to adapt to school and society. We think that all these problems can be solved permanently with professional attitudes and skills by the aid of human values. As the teachers of the participating country schools, we know that if we cannot take these students in elementary school and incorporate them into the education system, someone will replece. Ignoring these kids stuck between two cultures, the future of these children means compromise for countries. For this reason, we want to combine what we know and our efforts and see what we can achieve with stronger approaches, to share, to be a source and guide the students in our schools and environment. First of all the project named ‘We can do this together,’ we are pursuing active with different partners from Turkey.In this Project we want to improve the sense of feeling of the society in which our children are experiencing with the condition of preserving their own cultures and languages, to accelerate their social and cultural harmony, to ensure their attendance to school. The aim of the course is to enable teachers to gain a strong, uninterested, accepting and positive outlook on multiculturalism.
We believe that it is a very strong learning experience by working in collaboration with colleagues from different countries, sharing their knowledge and experiences. We are in constant communication with the participating countries in this planning phase. We found our partners on the E twinning portal from the partner discovery form we published. Our partnership criteria are primary school, having immigrant students, working as an experienced, willing and collaborative teacher group working with immigrant students in their schools. We started our partnership with country schools in accordance with these criteria. Whatsupp group is created for instant communication. E-mail media is used for official correspondence and document sharing. An attitude survey was applied to the all teachers in partner schools. According to the results, 90% of the immigrant students had adaptation problems and 50% of them experienced language problems. 5 LTT and 15 P activities are planned in the last 2 years

Evaluation process; pre-survey, final questionnaire, individual and group evaluation reports, final report, self-assessment and peer review. In the dissemination studies, E-twinning page, web site, web pages of schools, local and social media will be used as active and up-to-date. Our most important responsibilities are spreading the project ,creating awareness, being a source and guideand revealing the sustainable aspects after the project is completed.After completion, our project will be updated in E-twinning for 2 years. As educators, we know that even a single student is a very valuable achievement for the future. No matter what language, religion, race, every child is one, special and tomorrow’s adult. All children on Earth are born with the same purity and the same rights. It is the primary school where the foundation of the consciousness of being a good person is laid. Touching the heart and life of every child encountered here is the job of the teachers’ professional and their conscientious responsibility . If the Project is accepted the summary of our project will be shared on Dissemination Platform.
