Project Summary

Context-Background
Because of the increasing problems with nationalites,intolerances,prejudices and conflicts throughout Europe, we would like to promote the European Spirit by breaking down the boundaries with cultures and diversity in cultures.We believe that the world needs emphaty to understand one another,in other words,the awareness and understanding of culture,cultural differences will help resolve conflicts and prevent future ones.B.B.C is a school exchange partnership which is planned to start 1st of September 2020 and lasts 24 months, and has partnership from Turkey, Slovakia, Spain and Italy which are located in a variety of areas including more rural parts to small town as well as medium and large cities with different languages,religions,moral values,customs and worldviews.
