Turkish Study Group started to learn about their partners

The Project was approved in July,2010 and our contact person participated to the kick-off meeting that held in Poland in August 2010.We started to work to carry out the Project according to the application form.

First we announced that we are carrying out a EU Project:A local Tv Channel saw our announcement and we gave a speech to them, it was broadcast on the local Tv.After this programme a lot of candidates applied for the Project and we had to choose 20 of them as the first study group.
In September we had a meeting with them and we gave information about the Project.They were all volunteers to participate the Project.

Our first group started to learn about Italy and Italian.But unfortunately we couldn’t have a good contact with them.But our learners continued learning about the subject.They learned about the daily life in Italy,culture,food language and many other subjects.

And some of our members prepared Powerpoint shows about the subject and they showed them in one of the meetings.

The learners said that they understood that they hadn’t known much about Italy and the course helped them to gain a lot of information about Italy and Italians.

Our friends learned many things about Portugal and Portugese during the Project meeting in Lisbon.

As soon as we returned to Turkey,we had a meeting with our learners and gave them information about the meeting and showed them the photos that we had taken during our stay in Lisbon.,

In this period we are studying about Estonia and Estonians.We searched on the net and we get information from our Estonian partners.

Estonia is a far country to Turkey and there are a lot of things that we have to learn about,such as; culture,history,geography,food,literature and etc.

But our study group are very eager  to learn about our partners.

It is one of the targets of our Project.

We are going to have the next Project Meeting in Greece and we are getting ready for the meeting.We hope it will be a fantastic meeting.

I must tell you that there are many Turkish learners who want to participate the meetings but as it is known ,we have a limited number, but we are sure that when this Project ends ,we are going to prepare other projects.
