Education in its general sense is a form of learning in which the knowledge, skills, and habits of a group of people are transferred from one generation to the next through teaching, training, or research. For us, as teachers, our daily work involves institutionalized teaching and learning in relation to a curriculum but we can’t forget that any experience that has a formative effect on the way one thinks, feels, or acts may be considered educational. It’s here where our Erasmus+ project fits, preparing students for life as active citizens.


This is the blog specially created for the ERASMUS+ project called It's my life, it's my choice Here there are the 5 EUROPEAN schools working together in this challenger adventure:

1- The Coordinating school: LAUDIO BHI from Laudio (SPAIN)

Leerlingen uit vijf landen leren van en bij elkaar over voeding, gezondheid en bewegen | Algemeen | Delft op Zondag



Leerlingen uit vijf landen leren van en bij elkaar over voeding, gezondheid en bewegen

Editie: Week 30, Jaargang 23 |

DELFT – Leerlingen van scholencombinatie Delfland deden afgelopen jaar mee aan een Europees uitwisselingsprogramma en zullen dat ook komende jaren blijven doen. Dat is leuk, uniek en leerzaam, ervoeren ze op de Delftse vmbo-school.
Gymnastiekdocent John van Diggele nam het initiatief om de school in te schrijven voor dit project. Hij was niet de enige. Alleen al in Nederland schreven 1500 scholen zich in, 150 bleken goed genoeg om kritisch te beoordelen en vijf werden uiteindelijk verkozen om mee te mogen doen aan dit project van Eramus +. Waaronder dus SC Delfland, een combinatie van het CLD en Grotius College. Mee mogen doen is op zich al heel bijzonder. “Maar dat wij als vmbo-school mee mogen doen, maakt het nóg unieker”, zegt Van Diggele. Ondernemersfonds Delft afdeling Buitenhof zorgt hierbij voor de nodige financiële ondersteuning.

De uitwisseling omvat meer dan even bij elkaar langs gaan, wat lokale toeristische trekpleisters bezoeken en weer naar huis gaan. Aan het project ‘It’s my life, it’s my choice’ doen scholen mee uit Nederland, Zweden, Turkije, Spaans-Baskenland en Frans Polynesië. Zij leren van en bij elkaar over voeding, bewegen en gezondheid. Buitenlandse leerlingen waren afgelopen jaar een week in Delft. Ze zaten hier niet stil. De week stond volgepland met sportieve activiteiten, maar er waren ook leerzame lessen over gezonde voeding en ongezonde genotsmiddelen. Delftse leerlingen gingen op hun beurt voor een soortgelijke week naar Zweden. Slapen deden ze bij gastgezinnen. “Ze maken in zo’n week dus van alles mee”, merkt Van Diggele op. “En waar ze vooraf verwachten moeite met de taal te hebben, spraken ze op een gegeven moment zelfs Engels met mensen van hun eigen groep. Dit project is voor iedereen een geweldige ervaring en heeft tot nu toe al een zeer positieve invloed op leerlingen gehad.” Ook Gerrit Kühne, teamleider op SC Delfland, is lovend over de uitwisseling. “Wat wel grappig is, is dat het bovendien leidt tot interactieve vriendschappen, want de leerlingen blijven contact met elkaar onderhouden”, zegt Kühne. “Vroeger waren leerlingen in andere landen letterlijk en figuurlijk heel ver weg, maar als je de taal beheerst en internet hebt is de wereld plots heel klein.” Voor SC Delfland als school is het geweldig om dit aan de leerlingen te kunnen bieden. Want, stellen Kühne en Van Diggele, op welke andere school kan zoiets?
Nog meer moois
Er ligt komende jaren nog meer moois in het verschiet. Zo gaan er komende jaren nog Delftse delegaties van leraren en leerlingen naar Spaans-Baskenland, Frans Polynesië en naar Turkije. Ook hier zullen zij weer van alles leren van hun leeftijdsgenoten. Soms ervaren ze dat ze het op hun eigen school of in eigen land zo slecht nog niet hebben. Andere keren, zoals in Zweden, maakten ze mee hoe leerlingen tijdens hun lunch op school gebruik konden maken van een saladebar. Ook niet verkeerd. Leerlingen uit alle landen gaan samen nog een meertalig woordenboek maken met daarin vertalingen van zelfgekozen woorden in al hun talen. Op hun website iml-erasmus.blogspot.com houden leerlingen uit de vijf landen bij wat ze allemaal meemaken. Voor Van Diggele en Kühne is het project nu al geslaagd. “Sommige leerlingen hebben dankzij dit uitwisselingsprogramma voor het eerst in een vliegtuig gezeten”, zegt de initiatiefnemer. “Dat zijn leuke dingen. En als je ziet hoe ze zich tegenover leerlingen uit andere landen verstaanbaar maken en vriendschappen sluiten, dat is hartstikke mooi.”

Organic farming in our school garden. Turkey

About more healthy food, we have created organic farming field in our school garden. We even built a kind of drop watering system. We'll continue to this for three years. Next year in May, when you arrive here, it will be the time for second planting  so we can plant vegetables even together with all the participants. It would be great.
Our students and teachers have planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, aubergines, black eyed peas, squashes, melons, water melons and beans in our school garden.
We are aiming the second planting along with the students and the teachers who will come from Basque Country, Holland, Sweden and Tahiti, in organic farming area in our school garden that prepared as part of Erasmus + KA2 strategic partnership within the schools that called ‘‘It's My Life It 's My Choice ’’  project, at the May 2016.    
Greetings from Turkey.....

After Sweden, Turkey in 2016


Sweden(Uddevalla) mobility of our students and teachers 17-23 May 2015

                                          TURKEY 

       Our project works are going very well. I prepared a presentation for Turkish stand in Sweden. We had a nice dialogue with all partner schools' students. Lots of love.....
(Beyzanur Gülsün, student)        
I attended the meeting in Sweden in May 2015. I and my friends from Turkey had met in the wiki and chatted more than a month so when we arrived in Sweden we felt as if we had known each other for a long time. I had a good communication with other participant students. We created a group in ''Whatsup'' and are still chatting via internet. It is honor for me to be a part of such kind of projets.
        I learned to cook different dishes from a diffirent culture. We had special Swedish actvities. Also we had different school applications such as I had my hair cut by one of host friend. I had a responsibility in the presentation of Turkey in stand space of Turkey. I'm looking forward to my friends from Tahiti, Netherlands, Sweden, The Basque Country coming to the meeting in Turkey in May 2016.
Love from Turkey to all of you.

                          It’s My Life  It’s My Choice                         
Okulumuz  Erasmus+ KA2 stratejik okul ortaklığı kapsamındaki  '' It's my life it's my choice'' adlı projenin Türkiye’deki ortağıdır.  İspanya(Bask country), Hollanda, İsveç ve Fransa'(Tahiti)dan okulların bulunduğu projede Türkiye'den Ezine Celalettin Topçu Anadolu Lisesi yer almaktadır. Proje 01/09/2014 tarihinde başlamış olup 31/08/2017 tarihine kadar olan süreyi içerecek  üç yıllık bir projedir.
Bu üç yıl içinde ortaklarımızla öğretmen ve öğrencilerden oluşan küçük gruplarla karşılıklı ziyaretler yapılacaktır. Projenin sağlık, yiyecekler ve sağlıklı insan ilişkileri olmak üzere üç temel konusu bulunmaktadır. Proje,öğrencilerin farklı kültürleri ve yaşam şekillerini tanıyarak yaşam becerilerini geliştirmek ve geleceklerine katkı sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Öğrencilere proje kapsamında yapılan etkinliklerle, wiki, blog kullanımları, karşılıklı iletişim halinde olmaları ve karşılıklı ziyaretler sayesinde, sorun çözme becerilerini geliştirmeleri , eleştirel düşünebilmeleri, analiz yapabilme gibi çeşitli becerilerin kazandırılması hedeflemektedir. Ayrıca öğrencilere bu proje ile sosyal sorumluluk, kültürel farkındalık ve aktif vatandaşlık eğitimi de kazandırılması hedeflenmiştir.
Sağlık eğitimi kapsamında öğrencilerin, sağlıklı yaşam hakkındaki bilgilerinin artırılıp, tutumlarını etkileyerek, daha sağlıklı olmaları hedeflenmektedir.
 Yiyecekler konusunda da öğrencilere, yedikleri yiyeceklerin özünün ne olduğunu, nerede yetiştirilip, üretildiğini ve insan sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerinin neler olduğu konusunda bilinçlendirmektir. Böylelikle öğrenciler  yiyeceklerin seçiminde,  nereden ve nasıl alınacağı konusunda kendi kararlarını verebilecek duruma geleceklerdir. Sağlıklı beslenme ve organik tarımın önemi ve teşviki ile ilgili çalışmalar yapılacaktır.
 Sağlıklı insan ilişkileri kapsamında da öğrencilerimizin diğer ülkeleri ziyaret etmeleri, wiki, blog kullanımalarıyla karşılıklı iletişim kurmaları sağlanarak, kültürel farkındalık kazanmaları ve iletişim becerilerinin geliştirilmesi hedeflenmiştir. Öğrenciler kendi kültürlerini tanıtmayı üstleneceğinden kendi kültürleri hakkında da daha fazla bilgiye sahip olacaklardır. Etkinliklerde görev alan öğrencilerin hem sorumluluk bilinçlerinin geliştirilmesi hem de okula karşı tutumları ve motivasyonlarının olumlu yönde etkilenmesi amaçlanmıştır.
