Photo Exhibition of Warsaw Mobility

After coming back from Warsaw,Poland mobility,we put our mobility photos on our school board and shared our  experiences and what we have learnt during our Poland exchange .We had a chance to reply to our friends' questions about Erasmus+ mobilities and the project itself.We believe that it brought a positive impact  and more and more of them will  participate in such programmes in the future.





Project Dissemination Activity-IV

Our  fourth dissemination activity took place in another neighbouring school called ''Osman Sacmaci  Middle School''. We visited the mentioned school on the  20th of October with ten students who were a part of the Warsaw,Poland  mobility.

Throughout our visit to this school,in one of the classrooms ,we shared a short video -photo exhibition of our exchange which took place in Warsaw,Poland between 1st and 8th of October.We had an unique opportunity to meet the school teachers and students to talk about Ka2 Erasmus projects;how they can apply or become a partner,the ways the project is carried out ,the impact on the students' lives socially,culturally and linguistically.


As our project is about ''Healthy life-Staying healthy in our modern,changing world'',we also discussed the health issues such as ''Staying environmentally healthy''.Students shared their thoughts about environmental issues in Istanbul and in our society in general.The school counselor spoke about the ways how we can deal with these issues in our lives and students also had a chance to talk about how they try to cope with such problems that is a threat to their health.









The interaction between the mobility students and the school we visited was a success,so many questions were answered and many were encouraged to take part in such a project in the future.We believe that most of the doubts and obstacles on their minds  were clarified.

The visit was a very positive effect both for us and the school's students we did visit.
