We wanted to; -increase the European and international dimension of inclusive education by advancing joint cooperation of the partners in the creation of an E-BOOK and BOOKLET about the most common Proverbs, Idioms and Sayings of the participating countries Italy, Germany, Spain and Turkiye. -preserve the linguistic cultural heritage of European nations, and transform it into the knowledge and understanding among young people and educational staff of the diversity of European cultures through digitalisation. -integrate various lingusitic cultures in the creation of an E-Book and a Booklet via the use of different digital means. -help our students with special needs, with disadvantages to feel the joy of transnational friendship and to achieve success in their future life via offering them an international experience of being involved in all stages of the project. -support teachers via sharing knowledge and exchanging experiences about diversified group of learners thanks to cross-border meetings. -build up the international networking capacity of the pariticipating schools via setting partnerships and integrating the results of the project into the educational environment.
We applied for this project after having the results of a survey conducted among the members of the partner schools that were in need of developing the capacity of providing transnational cooperation to the members they have. The result of the survey demonstrated that almost all the students believed that learning a language is powerful bound to learn the culture it's spoken in, due to which we chose the topic as idioms/ sayings. Our students with disadvantages mentioned that they didn't feel comfortable in expressing themselves, which led us to promote inclusion and diversity. Most of them were eager to teach their cultural idioms or sayings to someone from a different culture, that's why we wanted to promote multilingualism. A great number of our students prefer using ICT and mobile software so we set the project on digitalisation. All of the students were unaware of the proverbs and idioms in their own language. So we wanted to preserve our cultural linguistic heritage via digital transformation. The teachers also wanted to raise awareness of diversity and of the importance of idioms or sayings of their languages. The results mentioned above couldn't be reached by a single school so we applied for this project.
