Music to decrease Inequality at school 2017

       Erasmus+ 2017

Participating in a European Erasmus+ Project is quite an experience. Among others, you have the chance to meet colleagues from other countries and cooperate with them in order to achieve the goals of the project. Meeting people is exciting for me. It gives you the chance to exchange ideas, discover foreign cultures and eventually become a citizen of the world.
This is certainly a challenge! You not only give all the best you have but you also have to overcome yourself and make miracles. After having worked in various projects so far, I have to admit that it isn't always easy to find the material needed, motivate the students and eventually form a group of them who are really interested in participating in this unique experience. Working closely with my students, guiding them and travelling with them created a strong bond between us. This relationship along with the newly formed friendships with my colleagues are definitely worth all the great effort.
In this particular programme I enjoyed various music kinds from Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Turkey and Portugal. The students and I discovered the distinctive character of other cultures through the art of music in the form of representative songs.
Participating in the Greek group which presented a compilation of Greek songs in Vibo Valentia, Italy, was an amazing experience for me which filled me with satisfaction and pure joy!

All those engaged in the mobilities rehearsed and sang a “common song”.  On the last day of each mobility a concert was held. The concert, “MUSIC UNITES EUROPE”, was the top of point of peace friendship, team spirit and European Unity. We observed that students' involvement in musical activities had a positive impact on other areas of their lives, including students' self-discipline, self-esteem, creative ...

Erasmus+ Project gave so many beautiful things to my life. In the name of music contributed a great deal to me. I've never sung in front of the crowded group of people before. I did it in a foreign country. It was a great experience for me. Meeting, socializing , chatting, having fun with, and singing  was very exciting. So it was so hard to leave them. I would love to have them all as a guest here in my own house and in my country one day. Without a doubt I'd go again if I had the chance to go. DERYA CAKIR
