Feel it through the Family. The last meeting in May 2017 in Yeşilköy, Hatay, Turkey.
Before the meeting children thought about
their families and their relationships. What are the feelings between family
members? How does being part of a family make them feel? How does a family work
together? Schools prepared a range of presentations. Some children made films
about their own family, others made more general presentations.
Children drew family trees to show the
extent of their family.
All of these presentations were shown
during the meeting. Visitors were shown around other schools as well as the
host school. This showed a family of schools who all work together and
cooperate.
Other events at the meeting showed the
culture of Turkey and a visit to a family home for a meal demonstrated the
central place of the family in society.
The aims of the project were generally met
during the meeting as all children across the partnership schools explored the
family through a range of feelings. It was unfortunate that the international
situation prevailing at the time made it difficult for two schools to attend
and for others to bring children. But despite this problem the meeting was
still a success and demonstrated the strong feeling of family and friendship
that we had all built up during the project.
