As a Chinese proverb says, “I forget that I hear, I remember that I see and I understand that I do.” , our partnership aims to encourage our pupils to do goodwill activities to be aware of the surrounding world and spend their time by socialization of European children.The project has three main themes. First is about doing goodwill activities for old-aged, needy and disabled. Second theme is about doing goodwill activities to make consciousness for homeless animals, eco-world and organic food. Third theme is about to make consciousness about school, books and games to spend their time well not to be addicted to bad habits and prevent the pupils from early school leaving , Thus we aim to make them both being aware of others and reflect the behaviours they had experienced into their own life. As in the fairy tales have the pupils read about heroes and benevolent people but they mostly learn about them if they become benevolent. Today's developing Europe has lots of development in technology and ındustry.On the other hand,the pupils learn less about the feelings of sharing more or helping others.By doing goodwill activities we plan to do, the pupils will see and understand that we will have a better Europe if we are aware of disabled,needy, disadvantaged ,the worth of world and other livings around .Most of the disadvantaged people will take part in our activities .Some of them are our pupils who are lack of socialization activities because of their economical status or their social environment.The other important part of our project is to get the disabled into our project and make them feel part of our project and make them feel the importance of European citizen.Besides using creative, innovative and enjoyable experiences, the pupils will have a chance to practice their language skills with European friends. The aim of this project is to make them aware of the importance of learning foreign languages. To show them links between school and the world. We'd like to show our students that they can use the linquistic knowledge in real life - to communicate with peers from different European countries. This will result in increasing the motivation for learning foreign languages. Our project will gather dozens of teachers, hundreds of students and families from different corners of Europe so as to create an educational environment and strong multinational bond. Our students will get to know peers from different countries dealing with the same or just different problems. They will learn different points of view, different ways of thinking, different ways of facing challenges and obstacles so as to come to the conclusion we are all like each other. Need only to work together. Just a small thing, but small things can make a big difference. WE can make a difference.
