This document provides information about a values education project between schools in Turkey and Italy. The project aims to teach students important values like tolerance, empathy, and respect through monthly activities from October to May. Students will create presentations about their schools and countries, learn from each other through cultural exchanges, and complete art projects, plays, and poems related to core values. Progress will be shared on an eTwinning site using pages and padlets. The goal is for students to develop exemplary behavior and appreciation for values.
2. VALUES EDUCATION
Hi dear colleagues.
My name is İlkay ÇEKİRDEK. I am an English
teacher at a high school from Antalya /
Turkey. And the other founder of the
Project is Lina BONATESTA from Italy. We
are pleased to see all in our project.
4. VALUES EDUCATION
First of all, I should say that this Project duration is between
October and May. In our century ethic values are gaining
importance and are needed. My start point of the Project is to
raise awareness and gain exemplary behavior to our students.
So we started this Project and thanks a lot to all. Cause a lot of
colleagues were interested in our Project.
Now we are going to talk about monthly activities of the Project
Firstly, I mean, in October we made presentations of school-
city-country. Also created eTwinning boards and posters of our
Project. Like all other projects the first activity is this and we
5. VALUES EDUCATION
The key issues of our project are Tolerance, Empathy, Amity,
Love, Respect and Sedulity. These values create difference in
human life. Values education is the most important issue in
terms of human life and happiness. In our century these values
are getting lost rapidly. In order to protect and keep alive these
values, every individual of the society has to contribute. As
educators, we should guide our students about these values. We
will teach and organize activities of values education. We will do
these activities monthly and share.
6. VALUES EDUCATION
1-Guiding students to see importance of values in education.
2- Canalizing them to act according to ethic values.
3- Raising awareness of values education.
4- Communicating each other among peers Europe wide.
5- Improving their English
6- Encouraging the students to become sample individuals.
7- Increasing their motivation, creativity and success.
8- Sharing sample behaviors to each other.
7. VALUES EDUCATION
We'll create e-brochures of schools and cities, and then an e book of the
project. Students will have learnt and used ethic values. They will have
had ethic values and acted as a sample individual in society. They will
have introduced their countries and cultures and also learnt about their
peers’. They will have improved their English. They will have caught the
chance of making cultural exchange. They will have known Europe. Also
we'll create a Website of the project and achieve dissemination of ethic
values in education in this website.
18. VALUES EDUCATION
We and our students are going to do activities like «DRAMA – SHORT PLAYS –
POEM – MUSIC- ART (DRAWING PICTURE – HANDCRAFTS)… about Values.
You will record your activities and share on twinspace.
Meanwhile I suggest that you should mention about «MEVLANA» in your activities.
Because at the end of the Project in the label application process we can apply to
«MEVLANA PRIZE FOR INTERCULTURAL UNDERSTANDING", if we get European Quality
Label. It is important.
And also you can mention about «Yunus Emre, Atatürk and other national and
international well-known characters who are relevant to the values in all activities.
Also you should prepare wallboard and school bulletin in your own schools and may
be you can disseminate your activities to your local and national institutions.

Meanwhile let me show our Project Twinspace. I think
all of you know how to use twinspace and pages.
When we want to upload images / videos / files we
will click «MATERIALS» and create our own albums
and files for our schools.
Now let’s have a look at «PAGES». I created Project
pages for you. I don’t want you to create pages for
your own schools. Instead of this I uploaded PADLETs
23. VALUES EDUCATION
Firstly you should create your own padlet for every activity. I mean each partner
creates a padlet and upload all their works about the activity and then shares
their padlet link into the main padlet that I created on the pages. For sharing
their padlet, you should double-click anywhere on the space of the main padlet,
write own name-school and city name. Then click (+) icon at the bottom of the
box that appeared when you double-click. And copy-paste your own padlet link
then one click on the space. When necessary, you can edit or delete your Works
from the right top of the box. It is OK.
Finally I say that there is only one main padlet for every activity on pages. In
main padlet there is one padlet per each partner.
You may want to do and share a lot of Works, by means of this way you can
share a lot of things on one padlet but there is no mess and pages will be tidy
and regular. At the end of the Project while our national agencies are examining
