Evaluation of the meeting:
The meeting went well. We tried to host partners trying best. A meeting with school staff,
teachers, parents were done. We exchanged cultural gifts to each other. School PTA
organized a cultural lunch at school. During the sessions, we worked on Augmented Reality
tools and video editing tools. Spanish partner introduced us some effective video editing
tools. Turkish team presented Turkish educational system. We took a school tour, visited
classes. Partners met students in classes, then each partner organised their language workshop
for the students. We had a drama workshop to use drama effectively in classes by the French
coordinator Mira Hamrit.
We also organized the next mobility in Spain and made some preparations about England and
Italy mobilities. We had nice cultural dinners out. We also had a chance to visit Istanbul and
had a cultural trip well. I’m sure all the partners enjoyed the mobility as much as we did.

Evaluation of the meeting:
The Turkish mobility was really interesting and amazing, joining job and cultural activities.
We loved our welcome at school with the delicious tea and our names and greetings on the
wall of the meeting room. We visited the school, meeting the nice Turkish teachers and
noticing all the nice activities done for “Creaction”. We received nice handmade gifts and
were happy to give ours. Then, very interesting the ICT workshop on Augmented reality, on
Film editing tools and the Drama workshop. We are sure we’ll share the new tools with our
colleagues and they will be part of our Curricula next school-year.
We learned also about the Turkish school system.
We visited many beautiful places around Duzce together to Istanbul. We also lived many
Turkish traditions: the delicious food and drink, the music and dance.
We appreciated a lot the Tea party at the Turkish host house. Kerim and Yasemin are brilliant
host, they made us feel at home.

Evaluation of the meeting:
This mobility was an amazing opportunity to evaluate the first year of the project, and also to
know how it works a turkish school, since it seems very different and far from our experience
as european teachers. We discovered that it is not actually, as the methodologies and practise
are quite similar. We also had the chance to meet the staff and some of the students, expent
some time with them and tought some language and cultural facts about our country. Some of
them will come to the next students mobility in Spain in October.
In addition, we also could experience the hospitality of our turkish hosts, specially Kerim and
Yasemine. It was a very well organised mobility, activities were perfectly planified. We
learned a lot about the town Düzce, Istambul, the beautiful surroundings and turkish life and
culture.

4. We would like to thank our Turkish partners for the quality of their programme and warm
welcome. Thanks to them, and more particularly Kerim and Yasemine Sivrikaya, we have
been introduced to all the aspects of a Turkish school. The programme went beyond our
expectations as we not merely attended the different planned workshops on report making,
movie making and augmented reality tools, but we also were given the chance to teach our
languages and culture with the Turkish students! This was a great experience to interact with
them and answer their many questions. We also appreciated the cultural visits which were
added. We felt like members of the staff and it is the best experience possible!
