We will carry out the program within the program of Innovation in Good Practice Exchange (KA2) (School Education Strategic Partnerships) - Erasmus + School Training Program Main Action 2 Forensics planned to last 24 months.With the partners Turkey (Trabzon), Italy (Cefalu), Lithuania (Kaunas), Spain (Murcia), Germany (Berlin) our project involves five student-teacher mobilities and two 'transnational project meetings' . For many years people have to meet World Peace Day in the dark environment bringing pain, tears, brutality and destruction. Although wars always have a winner, the humanity loses at the end.With the ending of many human lives,there are crying women and children left . These thoughts are the starting point of our project .When the history of human beings is examined, we have witnessed that the most beautiful days and periods always lived in peace periods. In fact, the greatest wars are our human egos we can not bear and our own selfishness. However, it is already time for us to act as educational neighbors to reconstruct a habitable world we long for. Perhaps in the coming centuries there will be no country borders, perhaps the greatest crime will be discrimination and war cry. On the basis of these statements, thanks to this project our aim is contribute to the world peace with art events and universal visual expressions that symbolize world peace by painting from the hands of different country participants with the slogan ‘ No to all kinds of violence – war ‘ . We have already come to the point where we find our partners in chaos, confusion, violence, war, which is a common problem in almost every part of the world. We will have a large-scale (10-15 m²) paintings, which will be prepared in four acts in each mobility, in the form of works of peace, in the form of mixed and even numbered working groups determined beforehand by participants, and to attract international attention to the project by attracting public attention with the exhibitions in each country . In visual applications, the cultural and artistic colors of the whole world, including the priority participating countries, will be included.Event images will be posted on the participants' local and national media. The slogans prepared in different languages will contribute to foreign language awareness of the participants. In this way, our project will gain the transnational dimension . Our project consists of students in the 14-18 age group. 2 teachers and 5 students will participate in the "short-term exchange of student groups". Portugal will attend the project with 1 teacher and 4 students. His "student group" will last 7 days. Meetings will be held twice during the project, at the beginning in Turkey and at the end in Lituania. Two teachers from each school will join this movement. Our project includes seven mobilities in total. It is a social and psychological study. Partner schools will work to make projects for immigrants, refugees, eligible and disabled students. Every partner is responsible for planning, monitoring and evaluating specific action plans. School's contact person is responsible for his/her school. Turkey's(Trabzon) IMKB Vocational and Technical High School is the project coordinator. Schools will constantly communicate and exchange information with video conferences, eTwinning, facebook, project web page, email and WhatsApp.The most important concrete outputs will be the large-scale pictures to be made during the implementation phase of the project, all the activities included in the project (preparing the school journal / publishing online, preparing the project web page, organizing photo exhibitions, making surveys, making video conferences, preparing project DVDs).In addition, booklet preparation, sketch designs of works to be created, project advertisement film preparation, seminar arrangement and visit to culture / art spaces.Applied surveys, brochures, circulars and posters will enhance the effectiveness of your project.Our project also has the potential to bring local, national and European voice to partner schools and the target audience.Our project will have important results in the field of social psychology.

Our project "Make a Picture, Let It Be Named Peace" is due to Covid-19 within the (School Education Strategic Partnerships) program in Erasmus+ School Education Program Key Action 2 – Cooperation for Innovation and Good Practice Exchange (KA2), which is planned to last for 24 months. The year was extended and completed on 31.08.2021. Our Project, in partnership with Turkey (Trabzon), Italy (Cefalu), Lithuania (Kaunas), Spain (Murcia) and Germany (Berlin), consists of four "short-term exchanges of student groups" and two "transnational project meetings" in total. Fight the world World Peace Day for years; The starting point of our project was the idea of “having to face it in a dark environment that brings pain, tears, brutality and destruction, even though wars always win, but in the end, humanity always loses, however, with the end of many people's lives, women and children in tears are left behind”. When the history of mankind is examined, we have witnessed that the most beautiful days and periods were always lived in peace times. In fact, the biggest battles are our unfulfilled human egos and our own selfishness. However, the time has come for us, as educators, to act in order to reconstruct a livable world that we have longed for. In the coming centuries, perhaps there will be no country borders, perhaps the biggest crime will be discrimination and warmongering. Humanity will surely reach that level eventually. Based on these statements, we achieved the goal of contributing to world peace with art activities that constitute the main outputs of our project, and universal visual expressions that symbolize world peace, by drawing the hands of participants from different countries, with images of no to all kinds of violence and war. Chaos, chaos, violence, war, which is the common problem of almost every part of the world, has been the starting point for us to find our project partners. The participants, in mixed and equal numbered working groups, exhibited the large-size (average 6 m²) paintings (paintings that do not contain any political and ideological themes) prepared separately in each mobility with the theme of peace, in important areas of the host cities, and participated in our project internationally. We added size. In visual applications, we have included the cultural and artistic colors of the whole world, primarily the participating countries. Our project contributed to the foreign language awareness of the participants. Thus, our project gained a transnational dimension. Our project had a different meaning at EU level in terms of communication with universities, non-governmental organizations, local and national media organizations. Our project involved students in the 14-18 age group, 2 teachers, 5,6,7,8 students within the budget possibilities, participated in the "short-term exchange of student groups". International project meetings to be held twice were held in Turkey at the beginning of the project and in Lithuania at the end. A total of two teachers from each school participated in this activity. Although our project included seven activities in total, 6 LTTs were realized after Germany withdrew from the project in the interim period. Refugee students with social and psychological problems studying in our schools were also preferred in these movements. Partner organizations tried to prioritize immigrants, refugees, students with some financial problems and disabilities within the project. Each partner school completed its responsibilities. There was constant communication and exchange of information with schools, video conferences, eTwinning, facebook, the project website, e-mail and whatsapp. Especially the large-scale pictures made during the implementation phase of our project, the catalog containing these pictures, the film telling the story of the making of the pictures, and all other activities within the project (preparing the school newspaper/publishing it online, preparing the project web page, organizing photo exhibitions, conducting surveys, video conferences) , preparing project DVDs) were the most important tangible outputs. In addition, among the activities carried out were preparing booklets, sketch designs of the works to be created, preparing a project commercial, organizing seminars and visiting cultural/art venues. The brochures and posters used increased the effectiveness of our project. Our project also demonstrated local, national and European potential for partner schools and target audiences. Our project had important results in the field of social psychology. All these results have made an important contribution to the development of the European dimension of our project on democracy, art, multiculturalism, students, teachers, local institutions and universities on a national and international scale.
