Project Summary

At the online conference meeting, which was held at the beginning of the first semester in September, we discussed the goals of the project. We all mentioned the same problems at our schools, “violence”.
After we agreed on, ” we have to solve this problem and discuss it on international era”, we decided to make an Erasmus+ project on this issue and follow and share all the activities and disseminations also by the eTwinning platform, by creating the same project on eTwinning. This issue was discussed in the school management units and we established EU Project teams, which include school directors, School counsellors, English teachers and Psychological Guidance teachers. The counsellors contributed this project by applying the tests and evaluate them. They are going to take part in:
-organising rehabilitation groups
-applying conflict resolution tests on students
-evaluating the tests results in the beginning
-determining the physchological technics and methods that are going to be applied to the students.
-Reevaluating the tests after the rehabilitation programme.

-having communication with the stakeholders
-helping our psychological guidance teacher in evaluating the test results
-collecting governmental scientific information
-making scientific researches having done in Denmark and in the other countries.
Filiz Ekenler, English teacher is the one of the head person in charge of running this project. She is going to take part in:
-having communication with stakeholders
-writing direct-indirect cause and effects of the project
:IT teachers are going to be in charge of:
-Establishing web-site on the project title,
-making groups on Facebook(students will be added on this social media group.They will share experience of violence and their own ways of overcoming it.)
We have studied on these kind of event researches by academicians at university and will contribute our project with the scientific problem analysing and evaluation ideas. The school directors assign this team as a Project Commission of our school. School Project Commission will work on this project because it is going to be beneficial for our schools on lots of sides as students, teachers, creating peaceful school climate and all of these directly effect the school’s education quality and school vision. When the studies completed, It is decided that violence they exposed has a large share on the basis of their problematic behaviours. However we are not just focused on the violence at school, we are mostly interested in the effects of violence they have already exposed or witnessed. Our aim is to help our students to overcome the effects of violence they exposed. Because violence sometimes can be inevitable in society because it can return to normally with the effect of religious, culture, and social structuring of community. People’s soul is getting sick day by day and they accept violence as a normal fact and they give up fighting against it. We want to show our community that violence is never a normal fact not only in our countries, but also in the world. We are going to be counsellors for our students to help them overcome the effects of violence. Our main goal is to create well equipped rehabilitation systems both in our country and participant countries and of course all over the World. We
are trying to save the human capital of our country for our countries’ future.We want to help our countries to have strong economy and become internationalized. The other aim of this project is to create international culture against the violence. At the end of this project all students and educators will have common agreements on struggling against the violence.
We are 6 countries working on this project, and we believe we have lots of different methods and teaching approaches which we are going to learn from each other. Also by the coordination of Denmark which already has the best educational methods among all the partners, we believe that we can achieve the goals of the project.
The participants involved in this project will be the students and teachers we choose to travel. As described earlier, we will choose the students that benefits the most from this theme. Other students at our schools will be involved in the project as well, through participation in project activities, seminars and presentations. Through our dissemination channels we will reach parents, local community and teachers at other schools. It’s difficult to put an exact number of persons, who will benefit from this project, but around 200 persons from each school will be involved in this project.
The sustainability of this project will be measurable – our students will improve their self-confidence and their desire for education.
