In our global world, social interaction is an outstanding factor to establish an inclusive and cohesive European community. Therefore, we need to include all kind of individuals in these interactions and all individuals regardless of their background and capabilities, namely abled, disabled, gifted and talented, must play an active role together for being future citizens of Europe. We should find ways to integrate all kind of individuals and in such a case music gets significant value as an effective instrument. Music includes cultural elements and their reflections for each society and also has a universal language. In our project, by means of music we aim to integrate different kind of individuals which can be specified as abled, disabled and gifted. As understanding social, emotional and physical needs of different individuals can vary and especially disabled individuals face the threat of social isolation and we aim to gain our participants social identity and mutual respect and necessary skills to interact to each other in a European context. Regarding the European priorities, the project is based on cross cultural experiences which support cultural diversity and international understanding. All participants will discover the value of respect. Teachers and members of association will share and exchange their experiences and practices in order to develop educative and social skills by sharing ideas, tasks, knowledge and materials. The students will have abundant opportunities of social skills while interacting with each other which will promote self-confidence, cooperation skills and inspire acceptance. All participants have greater understanding and responsiveness to social, linguistic and cultural diversity and more positive attitude towards other European communities. All the participants will be able to have opportunities to enhance the use of information and communications technology and to see it as a tool for communication, collaboration and production to be a part of future digital society easily. Students and especially disabled students will find new ways to convey their feelings nonverbally and be aware of each other and special musical instruments that can be developed for disabled individuals. All the participants will be aware of the value of learning and embracing European languages as well.We will make use of musical practices in the form of presentations, videos, Internet, social media, bulletin boards, and posters, brochures in order to learn and compare different lifestyles. We will learn customs, traditions, folklore of each other. We will also our own songs of love, improvised and peace song and have the joy of living and sharing together in a European context. Apart from cultural events and public displays, we will have e-book of our project songs, pocket calendar and songs CDs for dissemination purposes.We will carry out 6 LTT activities. The total number of participants is 150 (70 teachers and 80 students). The students are 11-14 years old. They will be active in the project.All the partners share the same need namely integrating their participants with different kind of individuals and they have strengths and different backgrounds which will enrich the scope of the project and share of practices in various aspects. We will carry out the project according to the planned activities, budget and time schedule. The responsibilities of the coordinator and of the partners are determined.

Culture can be defined as the characteristics, the habits, traditions, and the beliefs of a country, religion, cuisine, music and arts of society, or a particular group of people. Cities have many different qualities in terms of culture, living styles, economic and social structures, history, beauties, and places to visit, food, environment and so forth. Human beings are an indispensable part of the place they live in and they cannot be considered separately. Nowadays, the children take pleasure in using computers, especially playing computer games and surfing the internet as the technology develops in a dazzling rate. They are not open enough to outside world to interact with the society. Thus, they are not aware of the city and of what they can do in the city. In this way, although people are social beings, they lose their social identity.According to the European priorities, our project focuses on the intercultural dialogues in order to promote international understanding and world peace. The educative community will discover value and respect; understand the local and national cultures, each country and region. Teachers and students will share and exchange experiences to reinforce cooperation in order to achieve great convergence and improvement. The students will develop social skills by sharing ideas, knowledge, tasks, materials and etc. They will learn a foreign language in a true situation of communication and will develop literacy skills as well.The purpose of the partnership is to learn about other cultures and compare with our own culture, to improve ICT competences and foreign languages. We will use the tools such as videos, internet, e-Twinning, the social media-Twitter, YouTube and Facebook-bulletin boards, posters, logos, pictures and books to share and compare different life styles. We will have knowledge and skills in many areas such as culture, history, languages, geography, art and etc. We will also explain the symbols of our own city, what is the most famous or important in your own city, by exploring culture, customs, lifestyles, historical places and natural beauties, crafts, food, dances, music and etc. We will create an awareness of the outside world and other cultures. We will make it the guide of our cultural development. We will also create our own products of activities such as a film, a logo and slogan, a pocket calendar, a digital mini dictionary, slide shows about our culture top creators and religious traditions, educational materials related to our cities, old toys, traditional dresses and games, an e-book with all the recipes of the partnership and the results of the questionnaires.The partner schools have students of the same ages and similar needs. The schools have a variety of cultural diversity with students from different social and economical backgrounds. We want to do this project mainly in terms of developing language and ICT skills and sharing cultures. We are altogether in this project aiming to achieve common goals. We will run the project according to the planned activities, budget and time schedule. The responsibilities of the coordinator and of the partners are determined. We will work cooperatively.In a multi-social and multi-cultural environment the students learn to take responsibility for each other, for the ones who are different in skin colour, religion or just from a different cultural background. Based on cooperative work between the schools, we would like to familiarize pupils with different cultures and enhance their understanding and create an interesting learning environment. Due to that, they will be aware of their city, Europe and their condition as European citizens.

The purpose of the partnership was to learn about other cultures, especially the immigrants in our countries and compare them with our own culture, to improve ICT competences and foreign languages. We used the tools such as videos, internet, e-Twinning, the social media-Twitter, YouTube and Facebook-bulletin boards, posters, logos, pictures and books to share and compared different life styles. We had knowledge and skills in many areas such as culture, history, languages, geography, art and etc. We wanted to meet our needs such as getting to know the cultures (immigrants) sprouting in our countries, learning and enhancing our respect to them, destroying the prejudices, reaching more information about them, strengthening the mutual relations and reinforcing the friendship.Students acquired such abilities as creating conscious content and assess the author, purpose and content of a message critically when they decided the reliability of content on the digital media.The project focused on the problems and misunderstandings that may come out of the easy access to the internet through ICT. The spreading of incorrect communication about migrants is problematic to pupils’ perception of migrants and the surrounding world.
