Good Life Dynamics ; Help, Empathy, Awareness, Respect, Tolerance, Sincerity

Description

21st item of EU Basic Rights Condition states that nobody can be exposed to discrimination because of his/her disability. According to data of OECD, EU and Turkey, 29% of disabled in Europe and 71% of disabled in Turkey are at the risk of social exclusion. Social exclusion which is one of the Europeans basic topic of social politics and current problems is evaluated with poverty, disadvantage and discrimination. In this project, on one hand schools from Turkey, Poland and Greece will educate SEN students, on the other hand schools from Turkey, Italy and Romania will educate students who need awareness about discrimination of disabled and students struggling with economic problems. All the students of this project are at the risk of social exclusion. 21 students and 15 companion teachers will attend activities of this project. The age gap among attendant students is 13-19. Within 2010-2020 European Strategy of Disability, as it is emphasized in EU commission, awareness level of public people is important and should be raised. The way of making students gain awareness of disability is to create an activity that gathers up students with their disabled peers and makes them cooperate. In planned activities, every country will make preparations to introduce their cultural meals, music, folk dancing and traditional sports. A video of preparations will be recorded and shared with partners. Teachers of project will share the videos of participants with their own students and this will make a readiness about other partner country's culture. In whichever country students will visit, they experience cultural arrangements with its partner school students. With these cultural preparation and sharing of cultural elements, students' interest about their own culture will raise and they will have an opportunity to introduce their country and learn other ones. Students' abilities of cooperate with peers from another culture will develop. In activities, educational method of social learning with peers will be used. With peer education non-disabled students will gain an ability of leadership, will be interested in learning and teaching, will have an ability of emphaty, responsibility and communication, will gain self-esteem, will cooperate with disabled and non-disabled peers from different cultures, will have an opportunity to know disabled peers closely and finally they will have a positive attitude towards disabled. So non-disabled students will respect individual differences. Cooperation and communication abilities of disabled students will be improved via peer education practice. Disabled students will experience the feeling of accomplishment in activities and this will raise their motivation of learning. With this project, disabled students will have opportunity to be an individual who is respected and approved by public. One of the EU's basic politics is to support cultural variety, dialogue between cultures and showing up the capacity of cultural creativeness and innovation. In this context, with the activities of the project, the opportunity of introduction of their culture and learning the others will come up. Attendants will have an active role in developing inter-cultural dialogue. So they will contribute to the introduction, preservation and expansion of European cultural heritage. Our project will contribute to create a EU young generation which respects individual differences, develops an attitude of anti-discrimination, has a self-esteem and self-respect personality, converts its disadvantages into an advantage, has an awareness of inter-cultural dialogue's importance and become sensitive about protection of EU cultural heritage. To introduce European cultural heritage and make an attention about awareness of disability, a song and a short film will be produced. A video-clip including participant students and introductions of partner countries will be made and shared via Youtube. A wide-range booklet including aims, contents, results and information about partner countries will be prepared. Cultural and art outputs produced by disabled and non-disabled students together in activities of the project will be exhibited in an organization at the last mobility.
