1. PROJECT MEETING, OCTOBER 2011 / ENGLAND
Although we haven't been given the grant by Turkish National Agency for the project which our school supposed to co-ordinate with 6 other schools from 5 different countries, we decided to take part in the project works. As a result of this, the first project meeting was organized by our English partner schools, The Ravensbourne and Hayes in Bromley, London. As the Turkish partner, we joined the meeting with two teachers ( me and Mr. Ahmet Selim Gürbüz )and four students ( Emine Baysal, Sefer Fırat Odabaş, Büşra Günal and Hüseyin Baysal ). Actually it was a nightmare for me to get the visas since I have dealed with lots of documents and translations of them and the process and the payment of the visa since those things took time and we missed our flight to London. I had to book another outgoing flight which means extra money.
London is the city of Big Ben , Backingam Palace, beautiful gardens, Greenwich, St. Paul Cathedral, Beatles, Tower Bridge, Chislehurst Cave, Trafalgar Square, 2011 Olympic Games preparations, Covent Garden, the Quenn, Princess Diana, River Thames, museums and shopping centres. In the mean time, I would also recommend you taste English earl grey tea.
Anyway, we were four schools with two English schools, Czech and Estonian. Hovewer Estonian partner left the meeting two days before the closing ceremony.We did lots of roject activities for our on-going project. Preparing animation about Caretta Carettas in danger and preparing postcards about the visit were the most enjoyable ones. At the end of the meeting, there was a closing ceremony and cocktail. As Turkish representatives, we exibited some paintings from our students, booklets and posters from İncekum Beach Hotel, Annabella Hotels, Aska Hotels and Pegasos Hotels which did gave their great financial assistance . We are thankful to those hotels. We also introduced our region by the exibition and folk dances.
