Mediterranean souls and sounds
Start date: Sep 1, 2014, End date: Aug 31, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

The project is called "Mediterranean Souls and Sounds". The coordinator school is Liceo G. Galilei from Civitavecchia, Italy, with the partnership of Erunal Sosyal Bilimler Lisesi from Antalya,Turkey. Both of the schools are located on the coast of the Mediterranean which has been a source of inspiration in the emergence of the project. At first glance, the two countries seem to have different cultures .But both of the cities are located on the Mediterranean coast and moreover the history of Antalya and Civitavecchia dates back to Roman times. This suggest that they may have common features in their life style a and culture. We propose a partnership focused on improving adolescents' ability to cooperate and broadening their point of view to to acquire an understanding of a different society. The aims of the project are : . to promote motivation in learning a foreign language, . to use English as a vehicle of communication, . to promote motivation in using innovative ICT effectively, . to promote co-opreation of people coming from different cultural backgrounds, . to improve students 'musical skills, . to improve students' ability in composing a multicultural choir . to promote self -discipline, self-confidence . to improve students' collaboration and interaction skills. The project will be carried out by teachers from both schools. The teachers who are involved in the project are Music and English Literature treachers from G.Galilei. Music,English and a Geography teacher will carry out the project at Erünal Sosyal Bilimler Lisesi in Antalya. The target group is the students at both schools. The age of students are 14-19.
