    Imagine Europe without educational borders. Imagine Europe joining different cultural heritages as a central objective but keeping their individuality. Think of different cultures, different philosophies, and different histories joined under a common vision of a prosperous future for all European citizens. Education is the key and of course we have to provide and ensure all conditions leading to this goal.During the meeting in the three mentioned countries our students will perform some traditional Cypriot, Italian and Greek dances depicting some parts of our culture (costumes, way of life). Also our students and teachers will teach some of these dances and get all the European counterparts, teachers and students join in the learning of the steps. This activity will bring together the students and promote the team spirit to conduct a project together and have a mutual respect towards the cultural differences. We are also proposing a number of visits to Historical Monuments representing global humanitarian values. Visiting Ancient Olympia will develop experientially the understanding of athleticism, peace and ceasing fire. Also, the common origins will be strengthened under the prospective of globally spread humanitarian basis. During our visits in such Monuments students and teachers will record information, data and education material inquiring thus the values that developed the vision of a united Europe . We want students to realize and not just learn about global humanitarian values and face the consequences of breaking these values.Furthermore, through these visits we wish to further develop our students' skills, especially in the field of non-typical learning, such as foreign languages, communication, ICT and technology. We wish students to practice their knowledge in foreign languages and communication.Of course, we propose also a sequence of activities such as poster exhibition, exhibition about European Monuments, video presentations and multicultural videos and workshops. Through all these activities we wish to develop students consciousness and awareness as far as concerns humanitarian values that developed the basis of European Union.We believe that nowadays more than ever it is of high importance to empower young people beliefs to global, international values as presented and promoted within European Union. This will be mainly achieved by mentioning the common roots and origins of all European people, visiting historical monuments, communicating, exchanging ideas and traveling.We want open minded students, that really feel and act as European citizens. Our main goal, according to this project is directly oriented towards this direction, as we will encourage students to become shareholders of the European Civilization through the centuries and especially focus on each country’s monuments of world value.Thus the topic learning through traditional dancing and ancient theatre will lead students to the result that deterioration or disappearance of any item of the cultural or natural heritage constitutes a harmful impoverishment of the heritage of all the nations of the world.

    Inclusion practices are based on the idea that students have individual differences and needs and that they do not interfere with education. As a result of the meetings held by all the teachers of our school under the leadership of our project team that inclusive practises which has ongoing infrastructure building works and hopeful work in the near future, needs to be experienced. In the context of inclusion experience; it is agreed that the project is the main axis will be the elementary musical activities which is one of the most effective tool for self-awareness, development of self-esteem, communication with peers and social inclusion. The idea what we reached is,The Orff-Schulwerk Music Method is a basic music and movement education approach developed by Carl Orff (1895-1982), a German composer and music educator. Orff-Schulwerk is an effective music teaching that provides a place for all individuals in the direction of their talents, thus providing a musical environment in which any individual can take part. The Orff approach is based on the natural behavior of individuals in a particular way and using their whole body, starting from the idea that each individual has a unique ability and the work carried out with the Orff approach allows people with different abilities and disabilities to meet in a common environment with the integration feature. Our goal is by our Project which is “Orff Brings Us Together”, in the framework of the inclusive education which is already being implemented in Europe and the infrastructure has been started in our country, gathering students who needs special education with their normal developing peers and starting out from basic music activities and carrying out activities in cooperation and division of labor and by this way gaining empathy and adaptation skills. Because we have serious deficiencies in the context of integration in our region, we aimed to make a difference with our local partner students who will be special education teachers of the future and our students with disabilities who are educated at our school and aimed to be an example to our society and so we planned to bring normal and disabled students between the ages of 16-19 from different parts of Turkey, from Turkey as 2 partner schools brought students who is 'as special education teachers of the future' child development department students and special education students, Italy, Romania and Greece. Our project carried out 2 Learning, Teaching, Training activities. First meeting which is named of “Meeting Orff, Meeting in Turkey” was held in Turkey in 26 February and 01 March 2019. 2 participants from each schools, 6 participants from our foreign partners, 10 teachers from our school and 6 teachers from our local partner, 22 participants in total, met at our hosts for 4 days. They had a training to know about Orff-Schulwerk musical method and they planed games and activities what can be applied together by all participant students for 4 days in the second LTT. Our second meeting was held in Italy between 21-24 May 2019 which is named of “Orff Brought Us Together in Italy” with 8 students who needs special education, 15 students who doesn’t need and 13 teachers, 36 participants as total. They experienced Orff-Schulwerk musical method together and performed on the stage and by this way they discovered and expressed themselves by music-rhythm-dance centered improvisations and activities and put out products with collabration, besides contributed to a happy and productive European society by increasing the awareness and tolerance of different languages, cultures and individuals.To reach this goal, many effective dissemination activities are done such as seminar studies, project website creation and updating of existing web sites of schools, Erasmus + panels, local and social media tools, promotional products. Orff Brings Us Together e-Twinning project was implemented. New Erasmus+ projects decision have been taken to contribute to the sustainability and durability of the projects after the end of the project.Experiencing The Orff-Schulwerk Musical Method, which is actively implemented as part of inclusive education in schools in many European countries, with the knowledge and experience of our partner schools and the colleagues and gaining new ideas together then recognizing and widespread in our country and contributes to the social integration and harmony environment is the most important result of our project.

    Imagine Europe without educational borders. Imagine Europe joining different educational systems but keeping their individuality. Think of different cultures, different philosophies, and different histories joined under a common vision of a prosperous future for all European citizens. Education is the key and of course we have to provide and ensure all conditions leading to this goal. But, what about isolated and inaccessible schools? What about access in educational resources? What about equal opportunities for all students? We know than in many European countries we can easily find many isolated and inaccessible schools. Our main and primary aim is to provide distant learning opportunities. E-learning lessons in real time or recorded (synchronous and asynchronous) will be one of our main cares. We want students all over Europe (we can say internationally) to be able to view and listen lectures and lessons from experts, from professors, from scientists. Additionally, we wish to give students the opportunity to ask questions and discus with experts. Imagine an isolated school connected with an Institute or a publication organization, or a Museum with students exchanging opinions with experts. This will be a unique moment for these students. Furthermore, we want to deeply search the special characteristics of all partners’ educational systems. Actually we organized a consortium of eight schools in order to have a wide group of schools participating in this effort. We believe in the potential of students, teachers and educators that can compose a holistic view of similarities and differences throughout the European borders. We really want to join students, teachers, schools and educational aspects. We believe that technology can be the mean, while teachers can be the leaders and reformers. Thus, we propose a platform that can support all educational efforts, can provide educational material and connect different cultures. We suggest a platform build to answer to the needs of teachers and educators. Based on simplicity and student oriented. Main idea pages referred to special, individual educational subjects that are linked to educational scenarios, materials, projects, experiments. All these pages-ideas can be applied in an interesting way to all different educational systems. We wish to construct a flexible platform capable to adjust itself to the needs of students, teachers and schools. In order to achieve this main goal we want to build gradually the platform, to ask teachers and educators about their opinions, to call them to participate, to enrich and compose educational material. Then we will ask students to test the abilities of the platform, to take part in model lessons, to attend multinational classes in our transnational meetings under the supervision of teachers from many different countries. Imagine such multinational lessons uploaded consequently to our platform being part of mobile learning for students from other countries. Mobile learning is also one of our main ambitions. Transferring knowledge into mobile devices, tablets, smartphones etc. is one of our major goals. We want to spread knowledge everywhere and anytime. We are thinking of flipped classrooms where blended learning which brings interactive engagement pedagogy to classrooms by having students learn content online, usually at home and homework is done in class with teachers and students discussing and solving questions. Teacher interaction with students is more personalized - guidance instead of lecturing. This backwards classroom or inverted classroom based on reverse teaching according to Thayer Method will be strongly empowered by our proposal. We are thinking of a new era in education that comes out from real education needs rising from our classrooms. We are a group of experienced teachers and educators. Every day we are facing the positives and the negatives of our classrooms. We are constantly thinking of better conditions, we are trying to introduce new technologies to our everyday teaching practice, we often feel disappointed, but we are still imagining a better future. This is why we propose this multipurpose platform which will be incubated through transnational cooperation. This is a platform from experienced teachers to our future students and colleagues.
