Project Summary

With My Life Window, which we apply in consortium schools, we seek solutions with peer counseling, which enables us to deal with our problems more effectively and faster than classical methods that are not sufficient in solving our problems.As a result of the survey we concluded these:
1-I spend a lot of time with technology.%45,7
2-I was subjected to peer bullying. 42,1%
3-I can’t control my anger. 41.8%
4-There are not enough social activities at the school.%40,4
5-I am disturbed by the discipline understanding at school. 39.9%
The average of early school dropout is between 10% in our high school and 5% and 11% in our consortium schools.
Youth behaviors are generally caracterized by their relationship with friends and peers. According to the researchers, the family’s being the center of the child cannot achieve the success of the peer group in teaching values ​​and gaining personal trust.It is thought that students with low academic success but high social skills have the potential to solve problems in schools.

A 20-hour Peer Counseling Course will be given to 20 students who are determined by Sociometry in all consortium schools. The training of peer counselors will include basic assistance skills (effective listening, asking questions, emotion and content reflection, communication skills, etc.) and the implementation of these skills.
Our peer counselors in all partner schools will organize contests, shows, theaters, concerts, concerts and tournaments in the fields of music, sports, literature, painting, science and drama within the scope of social, cultural and sports activities, with all relevant students. While our peer counselors increase their personality traits in many aspects such as leadership, organization, teamwork, communication etc., they will have the social activities that our students desire in the school.
* We use the rapidly developing technology in every area of ​​our lives, but we are driven towards technology addiction. By increasing the use of effective technology, we aim to use our aimless technology use by 20% at the end of the project.
*The existance of 42.1% of peer bullying is a problem in itself. We target to reduce the problems among peers by15% with peer mediation and peer counseling at the end of two years.
*We will handle the problems of youth in dealing with their problems,controling their anger caused by communcation problems with peer counseling and we aim to reduce anger by 20% .
* We aim to decrease the rate of not having enough social activities at school to 5% level with our peer counselors’ organizations such as sports, painting, music, drama, and competition.
* We aim to reduce the problematic behaviors that is against discipline rules to 15% by preventing events before they occur.
Our parents profile of our consortium schools are rural parents, irrelevant parents, broken family, immigrant, parents with criminal history, parents with drug addiction, very low income families. In addition, we have students who come to school by transportation, who have to stay in the pension, who are physically or mentally disabled, who are dragged into crime, who have to work to provide financial benefits for their families, who have language problems. We bring an innovative solution to the common problems of our schools in disadvantaged areas, by making use of social communication and peer relations. Having peer counselors with special learning difficulties and immigrants will also add a very different dimension to the project. Project schools students will learn by acting with partners from Europe in solving problems, by applying different solutions, that they are not the only ones with similar or identical problems. Our peer counselors,with Erasmus+, will have the chance to develop foreign language, visits abroad,have European awareness, aware human rights and democracy, respect different beliefs and cultures with the memories they will never forget.
