It is not the case.

"Disability is described as nonadherence of carrying out the necessities of standard life by losing physical, mental, spiritual, emotional and social competences. The World Health Organization (WHO) declared that % 10 of the developed countries and %12 of the developing countries' population consists of disabled persons. There are 500 million disabled people over the world. The physically disabled and mentally retarded persons number in Europe is around 46 million people. In Turkey the number is around 3 million. The aging of population and the increasing rate of being able to get disabled as a result of chronic diseases and health problems like diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases, cancer and mental health problems cause an increase in the number of disableds. As it was stated in the United Nations Declarations on the Rights of Disabled Persons; in all countries, especially in developing countries, the internatonal cooperation has a vital importance in enhancing the living condition of the disableds; and supporting the active participation of the disableds into the society by using their fundamental rights and freedoms in order to promote their contribution to the welfare and diversity of the society. Besides all of this work carried out by the authorties and NGOs, the integration of the disableds into the society in their daily routine is extremely limited. The communication with the students, as the basis of the future, is also limited. As the social integration and a more active citizenship of the disableds are the main aims of our project, the disableds and the students will meet on the same platform for social (handcrafts, musical instruments, etc.) and sportive activities (basketball, handball, riding, fishing, cycling, etc) to reach the goal of the project which is their social integration. A sustainable social integration for the disableds and a fruitful learning and teaching process for the students will be another expectThus, the disableds will be able to be active within the society as an individual and by sharing and exchanging their experiences with students, they will contribute from their personal side to the formation and the progress of the social integration. Within the project partnership after providing trainings related to the disableds' interest, knowledge and expectations, they will share and exchange their experiences with the students by spending time during the education process. They will be role models for the students. In our project we aim to enhance the internal cooperation of the schools synchronically with the cooperation of students, teachers, parents and the other external stakeholders by increasing the European dimension of the educational perspective. A European dimension will contribute added value to the partner schools’ vision. Good practices will be shared within the partnership. The project partners were selected carefully, all of them own an experienced background on working with disableds, providing social and sportive activities. The partnership consists mainly on experince sahring and exchanging of the partners. The project partners are Ozel Sanliurfa Sarac Ilgi Okullari, Zespol Szkol Specjalnych, SOU Taki Daskalo, CE AVE MARIA SAN CRISTOBAL Scoala Gimnaziala Nicolae Velea, Istituto Comprensivo Bartolomeo Lorenzi Fumane and Agrupamento Escolas Padre António de Andrade. The students who participate to the project activities are at the ages from 10 - 15. They will work together with disableds (mentally or physically handicapped). Various methods (communication, direct approach, demonstrating, collaborating, team work, Scrutinize, Synthesize, Evaluation methods, etc.) used in teaching will be applied in the project process. Seminars, conferences and workshops will be organized during the project activities. The project results will show an example of social integration of a disadvantaged group within the society by the help of education providers (students, teachers and families). Various activities including social, musical and sportive courses and free time activities as going to the cinema, shopping, walking and travelling in cultural and historical places, having breakfast are some of the planned activities in order to spend time together with the disableds in an informal condition. Interviews will be recorded by the students to share the feelings of the disableds during the project activities. The expected results of the project are a better understanding ""Empathy"" of the disableds. After the project the students will learn how to live and support the disadvantaged groups inside a society. It will be a model practice carried out internationally by gaining the opportunity of finding out cultural differences."
