The document summarizes a Comenius project between a Spanish school and schools in Turkey. It describes how the Spanish school created a mural with flags, maps, essays and photos from their visit to Turkey to educate their community about Turkish culture. During exchanges with their Turkish partners, they received gifts like a Turkish carpet, mug with the school logo, and poster. When Spanish representatives visited Turkish officials, they received typical gifts from those regions, including a carpet and decorative plate. Photos of these gifts were displayed in the Spanish school to further teach students about Turkey. At the end, diplomas were awarded to recognize the work of students and teachers involved in the project.

COMENIUS WALL AT THE SPANISH SCHOOL. We have placed a mural, which has been
decorated with flags, maps, essays and several souvenirs, in a remarkable place clearly
visible by all the members of the educational community. We have also included many
pictures we took in our visit to Turkey. They make easier the presentation of some aspects
of the Turkish culture to the school members.

However, the thing that impressed us most of our Turkish partners was their generosity in
hosting people. They think it is one of the most essential determinants of live. However,
many people in Spain are losing this good habit.
As we mentioned before, they are grateful people. For this reason, when the Mayor of
Usak received us he gifted us a typical carpet of the region.
Then, Mr. Ali Riza, the Mayor of Ulubey, welcomed us giving us a decorative plate and a
picture of the famous Ulubey Canyon.
Even though it was a bit complicated to check in the picture and the frame in our flight
back to Spain, it finally arrived. We placed it at our school (as you can see in the picture).
We sent a copy to the Mayor, Mister Ali, because we thought it could be interesting to
show him how we introduced their culture, places and presents into our school. He was
very glad seeing how we taught our Spanish students and teachers about Ulubey
Canyon, a natural heritage.
