Our last Project meeting was held in Balikesir in Turkey between the 19th and 24th April. Unfortunately not all of our partners (Estonia, Iceland and Lithuania) were able to participate due to the ash cloud. Their trip was delayed and they will be in Balikesir in May.
The meeting was held by video conference with the Project Coordinator and with the Turkish, Italian and Portuguese partners. We talked about the project and evaluated all the activities done during the project.
We had the opportunity to visit three Turkish schools ranging from Pre School to secondary school. We learnt all about the Turkish culture and the educational system. All the partners learnt, shared and exchanged knowledge about the teaching methods and school function. We also paid a short visit to the Department of Education in Balikesir where we learnt more about Turkish educational system.
Our stay in Balikesir was wonderful. The Ozel Balikesir Firat Ilkogretim Okulu school and all its teachers, staff and students were magnificent. They did their best to make us feel welcomed and at home. The air was filled with happiness, joy and friendship which touched our hearts.
We attended classes from different levels and some open air school activities related to Children’s Day, teachers did some art work and talked to students. There was also a lovely school concert where students sang and danced their traditional songs and dances.Our project meeting in Turkey enriched our souls and knowledge. It was wonderful
