Hey i'm Gizem Can and i'm 16 going to Antalya Yusuf Ziya Öner Science High School and i've been attended to our school's Comenius project. Now i'm going to tell my story.

When we were waiting for the students in airport it was one of the most exciting moment of my life because we were gonna host them for like one week.

I have hosted the cutest girl in the world called Ola Stumska. She's from Poland and we're in the same age i guess. She was very kind, very joyful and very friendly. I remember that sometimes our english couldn't be enough to communicate but we got over it.

We traveled so many places in Antalya and did some shopping. She taught me some polish  and learned some turkish by me and we had really great time.

This project was really cultured and i'm really glad that i've been a part of it.

Comenius Project

was a great opportunity to meet with students from other culters. I have met more than 30 people in this project. I had a chance to represent my country, my culture and my city. My friend who stayed in my house was Lina from Greece. I think i was a little bit lucky because she was so kind and we love common things with her, like our taste in music or our favourite tv shows.

It was a great exprience for me because i’ve never share my home with a foreign student. I had great time and now i have memories about that week that i’ll never forget. I also improved my communication skills and laerned about other cutures and lifestyles. I’ve gained new frienships and learned a lot about team work.

This project made me feel very responsible because i had to think and care about my guest and her needs. So after this project i’m happy to know that now i can easily understand other people and be helpful for them. It also shows that your culture isn’t a big difference if you can share good memories with somebody.

I am Ebru KÜÇÜK,

I am sixteen years old .In my freetimes i like to play the violin read books and paint in water colours. I am in 10th grade in this school.

With Comenius Project i have been to Italy and learnt Italian culture and food.

Before i went to Italy i was so excited because it was my first time going abroad. Also i was a bit nervous  because i was gonna stay at a faimliy’shouse,who  i have never met before, dont know anythink about. I was also a bit scared to do something i should not do and not to get on well people in Italy.

But when i reached Italy all of my worries gone away because all the people were so sincere and good to us, ı tought that Italian people are so sincere .  We met new people , talk to each other about our countries and had so much fun . Also i loved the town planning so much .

In Italy i had so much fun learnt about Italıan culture and foods met new people and got new friends and had so much good memeories.

MY COMMENIUS FRIEND

Name of my Commenius friend was Patricio. He was from Barcelona, Spain.  We had awesome time, and I still wish he was here.

The first day he came, I understood that we will get on well, and that’s what we did.  His English was great and we could talk English like it’s our main language. So we didn’t have any communication problems. 

The second day, we went to bowling after school, we had wonderful time, and became better friends (I won).  So I realized what Commenius is actually about; Friendships. Friendships between countries, friendships with measures.

And the other days, we went to archeological places of Antalya, like Aspendos and Perge. He really liked there, I think. I have already been both of the places, but it was a perfect chance to rediscover archeological masterpieces of Antalya.

Of course there was a few things went wrong. One day,when we wanted to go to amusement park, weather was rainy and park was closed. It was a real mishap. He wanted to go to amusement park really much.

And I think he liked my mom’s food.  She tried to cook everything she knew,just to make Patricio satisfied and happy. They really liked each other,and they were really good.

And the last day, we took photos, and my mom gave him some tea (he really liked it), I gave him a t-shirt. We thanked him for his presents, we did all the touching good-bye parts, my mom cried and we brought him to hotel, which is the start point for his travel back to Spain. We looked after the bus and I thought that I will miss him really much.

I hope we can see each other again.

TURKEY COMENIUS PROJECT

In April 2013, a Polish girl Kasia came Antalya/Turkey with a lot of foreign students. I have already met her on the facebook but when I saw her, I got very excited. First day was not very enjoyable because we haven’t known each other and we both are so shy. But the second day, we became close friends. We sang songs, danced and asked questions about our lives.

I and Kasia went Antalya’s popular places for teenagers. And we really had fun. We played bowling, we ate İskender(a famous Turkish national food) and of course we went shopping! When we were doing this activities also Kasia has learned about Turkish culture.

When we went to school I met Kasia’s friends and Kasia met my friends. I showed my school to Kasia. The third, fourth and fifth days we visited Antalya’s  most beauiful  places. And the last day, we had a party at the school.

With Comenius Project, I made a lot of friends from different countries. Kasia, Ewa, Elvira, Daria, Roxana and Ivo became my close friends. It was very hard to say goodbye to them especially to Kasia but I am very happy to be a part of this project. I hope I will see them one day with Comenius Project again!

I’m Barkın,

I’m sixteen years old. I love to swim, play basketball and play guitar.I study in Antalya Yusuf Ziya Science School, as a 10^th  grade students. I live in Antalya.

In Comenius Project I have gone to Italy and I have gotten experienced about  Italian culture, foods and people.

Before have gone to Italy: I had been thinking about Italian culture. Because every culture is different from other and we could live some problems about it. And I wasnt use to eat italian foods. I had expected unhappy and cold people because we were going to go to North part of Italy so they had said us  people of North are insincere.

But after have visited Italy my thougths have been changed.Italian culture and architacture is magnificient and impressive.Italians are very generous and kind people.I am very impressed with talkative and sincere people.We didnt know other one’s language and also english but we have agreed much.

In Italy I have experienced fascinating memories I’ve gained a lot of friend.I’ve changed my thoughts about other country and people.I’ve learned italian’s culinary and fast food.

From Italy visit, I understand the importance and great taste of culinary food,and harms of fast food to human body and systems.Before visit I had not known  culinary food is how tasteful than fast food. Also I have reduced the eating fast food.

yours affectionately
