Project Summary

In our school, we realized that our pupils are away from humanistic values.Too much grouping,criticizing peers cruelly,unwilling to be deskmate or cooperate,complaints of victims,unwillingness to come to school&low academic success pointed bullying.Reports of discipline committee were scanned and “A Need Analysis” was applied to pupils.A seminar about bullying was given to the staff and they were asked to inform the students during classes.Necessary information was shared on different boards at schools.As it is not an issue which only takes in our school, we decided to search the schools having the same problem on international platforms.We became a partner of an eTwinning Project named“You are equality, not bully(ID 190070)” to find solutions together on European stage.Comparisons about the situations at partner’s schools were made on E Twinning.The issues fuelling bullying were discussed. With our partners we were of the opinion that it isn’t just a school problem but it’s involving all society, Both victim or bully need to have the humanistic values since they live as individuals within the society. With international cooperation,we wanted to overcome the issue or decrease its effects, to include more tolerant individuals to society by supporting their linguistic development and self confidence.All the partners applied“Bullying Questionnaire”and shared the results on twinspace
