1. Impressions about the
Mobility in Turkey
5th – 11th November 2012
The mobility developed in Turkey was a unique, unforgettable experience,
leaving me a good impression from which I had much to learn.
After this mobility I returned a little bit changed, positively, with more
confidence in me and desire to travel alone, without parents and a very important
thing was that everywhere in the world we can link beautiful and lasting friendships.
Their order, discipline, activities’ organizing were great and the most relevant
aspect was their hospitality. Personally, I was very well received and treated by my
host.
During this mobility we had documentary visits to some very old but with an
impressive history mosques. Besides these mosques, we have visited Cappadocia, an
amazing landmark whose history was presented to us by a guide speaking in English.
About the partner school I can say it was well-appointed with new furniture, and
the students wore different colored uniforms: pink for the girls and blue for the boys.
In conclusion, this mobility was very well planned regarding the choosing of the
sites that we were going to visit, proving this was a part of a well organized project
by the involved teachers and the pupils selected to participate.

2. Impressions about the
Mobility in Turkey
5th – 11th November 2012
First, I want to say this mobility in Turkey through the Comenius project “The
Voices from the Land” was an unforgettable experience for me. The way in which
the Turks respect their traditions and faith was what impressed me most. The family
where I was accommodate deserves all my thanks for the way of receiving me.
I could state that I felt like I would have been their second daughter. In their
beautiful country, I have visited a stone underground town that anyone would want to
visit it. Besides, I could add that during this mobility in Turkey I had the opportunity
not only to improve my basic knowledge, but also to make some resolutions.
So, I decided to try, by all means, to be better, more polite, more helpful with
all the people around me.

3. Impressions about the
Mobility in Turkey
5th – 11th November 2012
The exchange of experience with Turkey was an unforgettable trip. The family
who hosted me was very welcoming and hospitable.
We visited Cappodacia, Cacabey Mosque, a museum and the underground city.
When the school was presented to us, the pupils were excited to know their guests
and we were happy to answer their questions.
We attended a Math lesson and I was impressed after seeing the pupils how
they answered correctly their teacher’s questions. Their rewarding with music and
dance impressed me a lot.
After the well-established program by coordinators, we were going along to the
park or shops. We offered each other small presents.
I had the pleasure to meet some of my friend’s relatives.
The last day I was invited by her family to dine at the restaurant and to talk
about how good we have spend the week together.

4. Impressions about the
Mobility in Turkey
5th – 11th November 2012
My name is Liliana and I am glad to work in this project.
I have attended one of mobility, namely that in Turkey. I were not knowing
many things about Turkey, but I have documented before and so I have learned that it
spans on two continents: Europe and Asia. We were hosted in Kirsehir Town, which
is on the Asian side.
The family where I stayed was very hospitable and welcoming and they have
offered me all the necessary conditions.
The school where those children learned was beautiful. It had more buildings
and automatically more pupils. We have attended a Math lesson for the 4th class. At
the end of the lesson, their teacher has swithched on her laptop in order to listen to
music and dance, as a reward for the pupils who have taken a 10 mark for their Math
exercises.
This mobility was a unique experience. I have got on very well with the host
girl and, of course, the language we used was English.
