OUR PROJECT EXHIBITON

Our project is created with the idea that there are some common universal values uniting all of us and showing themselves as reflections of human behavior. No matter in which country you are or under which circumstances you live, these universal values serves as bonds for human relations. With the help of this project, we aim to enable a structured way of teaching these universal values to our students. The project activities will allow our students to learn about universal values both in formal and informal learning settings and they will also help the students to notice how these values have the same effect and meaning in every culture. AIMS Students will be able to *get a deeper understanding and appreciation of common universal values such as empathy, respect, kindness, honesty, love, peace, etc. *understand how these values are embedded in every culture and unite people from every culture in a common ground. *notice and assess the similarities between countries. *improve their ability to cooperate and work as part of a team. *improve their ability to conduct teamwork and present the activities and final product to others. *improve their language skills as they will communicate in English. *interact with each other and experience a cultural exchange by getting to know about the partner countries. *gain computer literacy competence and knowledge about the operation of e-twinning. *gain skills in using different web2 tools. *share their project experiences and outcomes with people around them (their families, friends,etc.)

Dear collagues, students and parents contributing and supporting the project from the very beginning, We have finally come to an end in our project “Values Making Us Valuable”. Since October 2019, we have worked on universal values uniting and bringing us together. It was the main aim of the project for our great students to appreciate the importance and universality of the ethical values. All the work produced by our students during the project was wonderful and of great value. Thanks to all students, teachers and parents involved in the project. We hope that empathy will always enlighten your way, honesty will always pave the way for justice, kindness will always glorify your world, respect will always dignify your personality, peace will bring harmony into your inner world, and love will make you shine like stars throughout your lives.
