- Youth and education
Since our school is in the centre of the city, our students are composed of immigrants from the other regions of Turkey as well as local students. For this reason our school reflects mosaic of different cultures. Our school is a high school, which prepares students for university education during four years after the eight-year compulsory education. There are about 1600 students who are between 14 and 18 years old.
Our school has 2 Comenius projects .The first and finished one Religion-Culture-Tolerance occured at 2008-2010 project term;the second one URBANSCAPE belongs to 2011-2013 project term. We also have finished 2 welldone e-twinning projects: Let's Make Friends (10.11.2009), Natural Beauties of Europe (27.08.2010).
In Turkey especially educational institutions are aware of only National Agencies as a source of new projects. We can promote first of all the name and then the aims of ALF to our similar institutions.
We expect that we can observe an intensive mobility of the European communities equally within the country borders and on the whole continent. It causes a necessity of development specific sorts of dispositions in our students and also in youth workers: respect for difference, openness and tolerance. An effective work on this values equally at homes and school is a guarantee of a successful intercultural dialogue.And we know that The Anna Lindh Foundation’s Calls for Proposals are one of the instruments to support the development of transnational civil society projects and to mobilise the National Networks.
