Background

More than half of our school's student population has a heterogeneous multicultural student profile,consisting of Afghan,Turkmen,Uzbek,Arab(Iraqi,Iranian,Syrian)students.Our students from different cultures show individual differences with their unique race,ethnicity,language,experience,thought and belief systems.Considering these individual differences in the design of learning and teaching environments is one of the basic principles of education.As a result of the sudden increase in the number of students immigrating to our country from abroad,the responsibilities of our teachers in teaching in accordance with individual differences have increased due to the rapid change in this student profile. The sudden diversity in the cultural structure of our institution has led to the formation of new needs and has immediately evaluated the opportunities to meet their needs.To benefit from the multicultural education practices of Europe, which embraces cultural diversity and supports multiculturalism in education with special funds; As an institution, we applied to this project in order to cooperate with institutions in Europe in order to reach the level in line with European standards on human rights, democracy, equality and justice.
