Project Summary

OUR DIFFERENCES ARE OUR RICHNESS

Our project “Our Differences are Our Wealth” is a school partnership where we work together to explore our European cultural heritage and traditions. During the project, partners will compare their traditions, find differences and similarities, learn each other’s proverbs, phrases, important authors who contribute to the common heritage, and the works of these authors, the scientists who contribute to the World Heritage, the historical places that shed light on their civilization, and their living natural beauty. Our goal is to acquire cultural awareness proficiency, which is an important element when creating a sense of identity that understands different cultures and respects the world and others.

This project focuses on the fact that cultural differences can be our cultural wealth and can turn them into an advantage by managing them well, as well as common sense.
Our goals are; to cooperate internationally, to promote the relationship between students from different cultures, to contribute to cultural integration against all forms of discrimination, to provide more active participation in society to raise awareness of concrete and abstract cultural heritage and social cultural diversity.

Activities to be held for this purpose are drama performances, exhibitions, conferences, historical and natural environmental review activities, tours, folk dances and competitions. During the project, it was also aimed to improve the English skills of all participants.
During the project period, we want to achieve the goal of strengthening the profile/profiles of the teaching profession. Teachers and students will gain specific information and improve their proficiency when participating in Learning Teaching Training activities: improve their English skills and BIT skills (WEB 2.0 tools, educational tools, communication tools, cloud storage methods, web page designs, eTwinning), learning about learning environment, learning storytelling methods and methods of using photography in classrooms, learning the diversity of folklore, civilization history, handicrafts, they will learn and compare museum training, education systems in common countries.

During the meeting, students will work in transnational groups and discover famous musicians, artists, athletes, Oscar skilled people and learn traditional songs.

In addition, school students who are project partners will work on different activities related to cultural heritage: logos, project mascots, photography, postcards, World Heritage Areas, traditional outfits, games, instruments, legends, special occasions.

The age range of the participating students is 11-15. The project will contribute to improving the quality of school education by learning the best practices in education in Europe, increasing the knowledge and skills of teachers. Our project is student-centric and most activities will be carried out by students. With this project, students will increase their potential learning power in the labor market. So the qualifications acquired will contribute to their employment.
Our project will last for 2 years. In 2 years, we will produce short collections of exams, photos and postcards; we will be informed about our countries and education systems. Booklets containing cultural heritage values of the countries involved in the project will be printed as project products. A collection of puns will be created. At the same time, the E-twinning project will be carried out between partners. All of our product areas will be published on our twinspace, blog and Facebook page.
