<< Background >>Autism affects the life of the individual and his / her family in a very serious way. In recent years, the number of individuals with autism in the world has increased. Although only one out of every 2500 children in 1985, one in every 150 children in 2000, one of every 88 children in 2008 was diagnosed with autism, today one out of every 55 children is born with the risk of autism.Even we do not know the cause of autism, it is possible with effective educational methods to minimize the developmental disabilities of these children by early intervention and to prevent difference between their peers. It has been proved with the trainings on autistic individuals in Europe and Turkey that sport is very effective in the development of autistic individuals. However, the insufficiency and lack of studies for sports education is also noteworthy. With this project, firstly, educators will be taught how to use sports as a tool to develop self-care skills, play, socialization and communication skills of autistic children and good practices in this area will be shared in different countries in order to increase institutional competencies.In order for children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder in common institutions and regions to integrate with the society, to socialize, to develop their communication skills, to develop their own self-care skills, families and educators who have been trained in these areas are needed. In this context, families and educators will be taught how to contribute to the development of these children by providing sports skills by experts in their field, and their teaching stages and forms.During the preparation phase of the project, the deficiencies identified in the development of social and psycho-motor skills of mild autistic children between the ages of 3-10 will be eliminated, both in institutional terms, in terms of teachers and families. As a result of the trainings, practices, observation of good practices and joint studies, teaching the methods of gaining self-care skills to mild autistic children between the ages of 3-10 through sports, using the techniques of gaining play, socialization and communication skills for mild autistic children between the ages of 3-10. will focus on competence enhancement.<< Objectives >>Individuals with ASD feel love, happiness, sadness and pain like all people, but have difficulty expressing themselves. Like everyone else, they have the right to feelings, thoughts and legal rights. Children with ASD expect to be noticed, understood and accepted by the society both in education and social life within the framework of equal opportunity. Their only remedy is an approach kneaded with love, patience, and understanding, and backed by a well-planned education. With this project, educators will be taught how to use sports as a tool in order to improve the self-care skills, psychomotor, interpersonal relations and communication skills of children with ASD, and good practices in this field will be shared in different countries in order to increase institutional competencies.It has been proven in the trainings for individuals with ASD that sports are very effective in the development of individuals with autism. However, the scarcity and insufficiency of the studies on sports education draws attention. With this project, the coordinative sports training program prepared for children with autism will be taught to the trainers.In this context, the overall aim of the project is to increase the competencies of educators working with mildly autistic children in order to develop the social and psycho-motor skills of these children aged between 3 and10 years.Our specific objectives are:-To teach the trainers the methods of self-care skills to mildly autistic children aged 3 to 10 years by means of sport.-To teach educators the techniques of gaming, socializing and communication skills for mildly autistic children aged 3 to 10 years.-To promote good practices in partner countries among partner institutions.<< Implementation >>A social networking site will be created for dissemination, a bulletin will be prepared, posters and brochures will be printed and the handbook will be printed at the end of the project. The materials will be prepared by the team of relevant institutions through a workshop. Two spot films will be prepared; first at the beginning of the project and second at the end of the project. In order to measure the success, a questionnaire will be conducted for families and joint institution staff, and periodic meetings will be held with the parents and institution staff. After the review of the good practices, a joint action plan will be prepared, followed by a joint trainer training and then practical studies will be carried out for autistic children and families. Four activities were planned to be done with the families of ADS children. At the end of the project, a workshop was planned to transfer the good practices to the institutions.The project participants are educators working for autistic children, parents of autistic children and autistic children aged 3-10. Except the institutions’ own staff 10 autistic children and their parents will be involved in the practices.<< Results >>With the help of our project, the competencies of the trainers working with mildly autistic children will be increased in order to develop the social and psycho-motor skills of these children aged between 3 and 10 years. In order to achieve this, the trainers will learn the techniques of teaching self-care skills, psychomotor, interpersonal relations and communication skills mildly ASD children aged between 3 and 10 years. Good practices for ADS children in the partner countries will become widespread with the examinations, meetings and workshops to be carried out.In this project, by using individual special teaching methods, it will be provided to educate ADS children based on movement rather than class. As a result of the program, ADS children will get the learning outcomes earlier.The program with the help of sportive skills, which is applied in this project, will enable the ADS children to be included in the social life with their family, minimizing their typical and obsessive behaviors and behavior problems.Local Peoples have a negative view of the problematic behaviors of ADS children. With this project, prejudices of local people regarding autism and ADS children will be destroyed. It will accelerate the integration of ADS children with the society at the local level, which will contribute to the development of the society and social health.In addition to intercultural interaction, learning environments in the field will be provided with a uniform functional education model for ADS children in the partner countries participating in the project. As a result of the targeted outputs of the implemented project, it will be an example to the process of educating autistic children based on movement, by providing education in different areas rather than classroom. With the increase of these applications, the number of institutions willing to cooperate will increase.This project will contribute to the education of ADS children, who are a bleeding wound not only in Europe but also in the world, to the integration of these children into social life at a micro level.Our project also promotes solidarity between the public and private sectors. New collaborations to be encouraged in the field of education of autistic children will also contribute to the increase of civil society dialogue in this field.

The management of refugee crisis is one of the most challenging problems of EU and some other countries due to its complex social, political and economic stages. This process requires rapid and effective steps to form necessary conditions for the integration of immigrants into society. In Turkey, more than 4 million refugees live in Turkey and five thousands of them accommodates in Düzce. One of the most fundamental measures to be taken for complete and durable integration is the inclusion of immigrants into labor market and ultimately economic welfare of these people. In order to learn, search, socialize, develop their abilities and knowledge for new job opportunities, get vocational educations and successfully carry out the job they find; the language barriers in front of a healthier and faster integration process have to destroyed. However, most of these people can’t get a working permission. Although a definite part can achieve a faster and easier inclusion into labor market after destroying language barriers, the other part that form the bigger part can't work due to not being able to get a work permission requiring a long process or mostly results in as negatively. Therefore, these people have to be a seasonal worker in agriculture and livestock sector or being an employer. At this point, there is a big need to develop the entrepreneurship skill of the immigrants. Within the project, we developed language modules that can carry the beneficiaries from A1 to A2 level, shared these modules via a platform, created a practical handbook for urgent help in daily situations with daily structures and dialogues and developed a comprehensive entrepreneurship training module. The outputs were designed with four related EU partner to get more innovative and international results that are suitable for the target group needs and profiles. All the good practices, experiences and innovations in partner countries was searched, the outputs were developed, then the project outputs were disseminated with local and international events. With better communication abilities, immigrants can integrate into the city they live, local people can communicate with these people more easily and all these outcomes provide a more peaceful society. With better language and entrepreneurship skills, they can now look for job opportunities, include in vocational courses and effectively work in worklife. With developed entrepreneurship skills they can be more active, equipped and create new job opportunities for themselves and maybe for other local people. These effects can be observed in all partner countries and with dissemination activities the project outputs and effects were shared at international and EU level. During dissemination and evaluation activities, it was obvious that the outputs will be effective and used by many related organizations and immigrants in order to develop their langauge and entrepreneurship skills.
