Project Summary

In the strategic plan of or school,school’s fundemental principal is determined as to heed common values.Yet,when our values education club’s report was analyzed,we’ve noticed that the values and the activities were insufficient for pupils to be included actively.We received the pupils’ opinions about the subject matter,they’ve gotten a handle on the issue with MANGA,a kind of comic book first appeared in Japan.The etwin project “Common Values With Manga” was set by Eskişehir Anadolu Lisesi and Mustafa Kemal MTAL.In this project, the students are engaged in meaningful activities to reach outcome and many disciplines were integrated including art,literature and ICT.They conducted a survey to decide which common values should be worked on.Results of survey show that they decided to work on different values;women rights, empathy etc.This partnership project is originated from those etwinning processes.Though we practised drawing mangas and filling speech balloons,we saw that our final products were multinational products but they should be developed.By adding an animation production phase and European values,we are trying to challenge our students to take a step forward to European citizenship and add an ICT value to their product.Thus,in this project we aim to:
-make pupils understand the importance of values
-compare the viewpoints of values among partner countries
– raise awareness about values by using Manga &Anime
-give pupils the opportunity to express themselves clearly in artistic way in transnational surroundings
– enhance critical thinking&media literacy
-develop intercultural,digital&linguistic competences
-decrease dissimilarity in access of digital technologies
-promote peer learning&learning by doing and living
In order to accomplish those aims we ve planned project activities,Joint Staff Learning activities,ShortTerm Exchanges of Pupils and dissemination activities. Project activities will be fulfilled during the project process including informing,trainings,preperations about mobilities.A Joint Staff Learning(12teachers from all partner schools)five Short Term Exchanges of Pupils(180pupils&72 teachers from all partner schools)were planned.Joint Staff Learning is to decrease the dissimilarity in access of digital technologies.Teachers joining this mobility are responsible for training pupils about ICT,anime making and ETwinning.Short Term Exchanges of Pupils aim to raise awareness about each European Value determined by pupils by making 6 animes during each activity and develop intercultural, digital and linguistic competences,promote peer learning &learning by doing and living,enhance critical thinking&media literacy
Planned dissemination activities consists of presenting the project via websites,Youtube,ETwinning,Instagram and Erasmus+Boards and local press,logos&mottos,raising the awareness of European values and mangas/animes,arranging a conferance about values,Manga exhibitions,Celebrating World Values Day,booklets of all mangas drawn during the Project and printing them,presenting ANIMATIONS at local schools& interactive pannels of municipalities,making MANGA Ebooks and installing animations to DVDs and to exhibit them on Etwinning,uploading animations and ebooks to EBA in order supply ematerial for VALUES EDUCATION,proposal of founding Manga Clubs ,proposing the values to be added into the lesson plans and values education club plans,conducting a provincevide panel,writing project’s reports&sharing them with NAs of partner schools.
Methodology to be used in carrying out the project consists of introductıon of the project,participant trainings,being prepared for the mobilities,writing texts about value, Identifying and drawing characters&background,drawing Manga basing on text,LTTs, Webinars for evaluating LTTs,writing the final report and presenting it to NA.
Consequently,once the project is implemented pupils will be aware of the European values,express themselves in an artistic way in transnational surroundings,have the ability of critical thinking &media literacy,develop intercultural, digital and linguistic competences,be active Etwinners, experience peer learning& learning by doing and living,have group work and social skills.Teachers will have intercultural,digital and linguistic developments,learn web2 tools and adopt them to their teaching environments, use Etwinning effectively and improve their lesson plans in terms of European values.
On the other hand partner schools will develop new strategies for teaching values to supply with their pupils in terms of European Citizenship,lesson/club plans will be improved with the new values added, Manga Clubs will change the pupils viewpoints towards school since they will feel that they are included to learning-teaching environment.Once the European Values are disseminated throughout the countries ,social cohesion and a positive and inclusive common sense of belonging at local,regional,national ,Union level will be strengthened.
