Our school is a primary school and there are 42 teachers and 930 students whose ages are between 6 -11. The school is located in a semi urban region of the city. The school is situated in a disadvantaged area that receives many immigrants from Eastern part of Turkey mainly for economic and social factors. The students are the children of immigrant families from other regions of the country. Families come from villages where there are no industry and agriculture so they are mostly unemployed families. Students are the children of socially disadvantaged environment. Although the city is close to the harbour, unemployment is still high because of crisis in the world. Therefore the criminality in this region is also quite high. On the other hand, the children of the families who fled the war in Syria are trained at our school ; they are 64. In terms of ethnic origin there are Turkish, Kurdish and Arab students in our school.
The role of the school in the project is to contribute to exchange of cultural experiences on good practices about how to design historical compositions with different countries developing new skills and new educational opportunities. By means of partnership, learners develop their educational, linguistic, technological competences with cultural exchanges and facilities of the project.
As the students of our school are immigrants and members of broken families, have social and economic problems, participation to this program may contribute to make them get new educational learning opportunities. The collaboration with different countries will enrich their knowledge and experience since they will have the chance to meet new people with different ideas and cultures. For all these reasons participation to this project will provide the young pupils a chance to widen their horizon, cultural adaptability, public awareness and integration to the city. Furthermore, they will broaden their outlook, know and understand differences between cultures, gain communication competencies.
