Our school is located in Gölbaşı which is a district of Ankara – the capital city of Turkiye. Gölbaşı is a pleasant settlement area with the Lake Mogan and the Lake Eymir and Beynam Forest which is open to visitors and a convenient place for trekking and walking. Our town is also famous for “love flower” (Centaurea tchihatcheffii) which is enlisted as an endemic flower in Bern Convention. Ankara is in the middle of Turkiye and not far from touristic and historical areas like Cappadocia.

     

     Our school is a foreign language based public high school. It has over 750 students and 59 teachers.  Students learn English and French as foreign languages. Our students come from different social and economical level groups. Our area has got immigrants coming from the rural areas which surround Golbası and underdeveloped cities and towns of Middle Anatolia. We see this diversity as different cultures in one school – like drops composing the ocean.

     

      We haven’t worked in a Comenius project before  but we really would like to work in this project because:

- We think the entire process will be a great experience for the teachers and our students.

- We would like to share our knowledge, experiences, tradition  and history with our partners.

- We want our students to be aware of being a European citizen, and their roles in the society.

- We want our students to be aware of the importance of communnication and learning a foreign language.

- Most of our students don’t have a chance of visiting a foreign country so the mobilities during the project would be a great chance to develop their language and communication skills, to learn being tolerant with different cultures, beliefs and identities.

- We want to inspire our colleagues and students  to coordinate and take part in some other  Comenius projects.

 

       Our role in this project is to work competible with other partners, to fulfill our duties in the activities and  to be the host for the zero meeting.
