TURKISH MEMORIES...

Dal 22 al 28 maggio si è svolto ad Istanbul l’ultimo incontro del progetto “Art for inclusion’ sake”.
Nel contesto di questa meravigliosa città, abbiamo svolto diverse attività inclusive.

I nostri alunni sono stati ospitati da alcune famiglie turche che hanno permesso loro di toccare con mano una cultura tanto diversa dalla nostra.
Tra le varie attività svolte, orientate alla valorizzazione della diversità culturale, possiamo evidenziare quella sui proverbi: partendo da un proverbio inglese ogni alunno si è divertito a cercare un proverbio con lo stesso significato nella propria lingua. Un’altra attività artistica interessante è stata quella riguardante “accessibility signs”, in cui gli studenti hanno disegnato, reinterpretandoli in maniera personale i segnali di indicazione per disabili.

Un’attività veramente originale ha riguardato la comunicazione gestuale: un gesto può trasmettere un significato diverso secondo il paese in cui viene usato.
Gli alunni si sono divertiti a “scovare” dei gesti meno comuni nelle varie culture stimolando così la comprensione interculturale e la conoscenza.

L’aspetto artistico è stato affrontato in modo informale con i partecipanti turchi che hanno insegnato canti e balli tradizionali e non in vari momenti della settimana. Il risultato è stato sorprendente: ragazzi e ragazze liberi di esprimersi con canti e balli a scuola, nelle strade e persino sul battello!
Grazie amici turchi per la vostra ospitalità e cortesia!

about us

2019-11-06T16:47:56+01:00

Our School is situated in Bayrampasa, a district of Istanbul. The families of the students have mostly average income level. Most of them are immigrants from Bosnia, Macedonia, Albania, Bulgaria, Serbia, Greece and Armenia. The school population represents a wide cross section of social and cultural backgrounds, which is helpful for our project: some of our pupils directly experience the issues of immigration, some of them are also third or fourth generation immigrants who are fully integrated into our society but keep an interest in their forefathers’. Despite having different cultural roots and religions, these people manage to live together in harmony respecting each other’s identity.

Our School highly motivates performances like theatre(Plays), Music chorus (Turkish folk music), chess, publishing a magazine and sports (like wrestling, ping pong, basketball, football etc.) We have been carrying out these activities systematically for years. Sports is popular activity in our school and we are really good at sports. The students at our school got many medals in Istanbul, Turkey and Europe. We are proud of them.

The school has one big building. The families of the students have mostly average income level. The school population represents a wide cross section of social and cultural backgrounds, which will be helpful for the project: some of our pupils directly experience the issues of immigration, some of them are also third or fourth generation immigrants who are fully integrated into our society but keep an interest in their forefathers’.

My name is Hatice Tuğçe from Tuna Anatolian High School,Turkey. I wanna write about the program in Netherlands.

I loved the program. It was good.I loved the teachers and the students.They were so kind. And I also loved the other students from other countries.First 2 day we were in the school and we had a activity. Wendesday we got on the boat.It was really good I saw all the beauty’s of amsterdam. Thursday and Friday we went to the museum.We learned the cultures so it was really nice.We had a cultural food night.

And we played games in the gymsaloon. Amaterdam is really good place to go, shopping and living. It was good experience for
me. So everything was nice. And I loved Regina she was so nice.

My first impression about This project is, it is a very helpful opportunity for our personal development. I want to improve my English skills so this project helps me a lot. When I come to in Italy I felt so different. Because Italian culture is so different than Turkish culture. Sandro Pertini’s teachers and students are so friendly and helpful. I like my hosts and my project friends so much.

My first impressions about the project were very positive. It’s a helpful project and we talked about much things. My host family is really nice and I really like them. The Italian food is so delicious and I tried new things. The activities are cool. I think the project is a good experience.

Erasmus was a big chance for all of us. We learned different cultures and some of words. The activities were fun to our age. We’ve made great friends in other countries. The program was so good for improve our english. I hope everyone can have that chance in the future. And of course me too, again:)))

This article is about with Erasmus in Portugal and i am going to be write my feelings and thoughts about everything like program, trips, hosting, service and introduction.

I went to Portugal with big dreams and expectations because that trip was my first abroad experience. I was so lucky to see 2 different country with in one trip. Mobility was quite good for us and everything was like chosen with scrutiny. It was too late when i meet with my host, directly we passed to his home. When i arrive, i felt like in my home and everything was like set up scrutiny specially for me. Then we introduced our country, city and school in auditorium at first day. At the Ethnic Buffet everyone introduced the food and dishes from their country. In free time we visited the Bragança. On Tuesday i attended the lesson with my host and the teacher were speak English especially for me. Then we spoke about ‘How to solve common problems?’ with interpret the paintings. Thanks to this activity, we know each other well. Also i can say, traditional fashion show was the best thing for socialize with other students from foreign countries. Because everyone was seeming very funny. On Wednesday we traveled to Porto, i liked Porto for it is a big city. Although the much population, i realized they designed an awesome country. My all day passed in Porto and it was unforgettable day. Everyone was have good friendships with other students. Also day by day we learned Portuguese Dance, we spoke about words of respect, we drank a coffee with poems of Pessoa.

Shortly it was memorable week for me. Program, timetable, mobility... Everything was really good and beneficial for know a country, life and culture. I already miss all my friends and i really want to meet again one day.

EFE VATANSEVER

I had little knowledge of Portuguese cultures before I arrived in. The meals we eat, our lifestyles, the lessons taught in schools were all very similar. I think the most similar thing between these two countries was hospitality. I was hosted much better than I expected. The family that hosted me was awesome. They made me feel at home. Everyone in the family is very good people. Everyone approaches each other with respect and love. Likewise, her friends and teachers too. Bragança is a small and beautiful city. It's definitely a place I want to live. It is a quiet, calm and safe city. Although it is a small city, it has places to see. Especially Bragança castle was my favorite place in the city. I think that Porto is one of the most beautiful cities in the world in terms of tourism. It has many historical buildings and beautiful views. It was one of the most beautiful weeks of my life. If I have the chance, I would definitely like to come again. I had a great time. I made very good friends. and I met a family I will never forget. I hope I can see them again in the future.
