Ay: Temmuz 2025

Our school’s activity room has recently turned into a vibrant, creative, and eco-friendly space—thanks to the inspiring efforts within the international Erasmus+ project “From Waste to Art – Inclusion Through Art” (Project No: 2023-2-TR01-KA220-SCH-000170114), funded by the European Union.

In the run-up to Easter, children in the after-school club took part in a series of fun and meaningful workshops, where they created Easter decorations using recycled materials—proving that creativity and caring for the environment can go hand in hand.

Under the guidance of Ms Izabela Strzałka and Ms Elżbieta Adamiec, second-grade students crafted a charming Easter bunny out of paper rolls, which now decorates the classroom doors.

Meanwhile, Ms Małgorzata Jabłecka-Szmigiel and Ms Ewa Ułamek helped the children plant cress in yellow recycled egg containers, combining nature with upcycling in a brilliant springtime display.

Third-grade students joined their parents for a Family Easter Workshop, where they created beautiful wreaths and hanging Easter bunnies for windows and doors. The session was organised by Ms Karolina Marek, Ms Marta Felczak, Ms Sylwia Czarnocka, and Ms Katarzyna Zawada.

A special highlight came from our special needs activity room, newly established for the 2024/2025 school year. Under the guidance of Ms Bożena Leszczyńska and Ms Karolina Stańczyk, children with special educational needs planted cress and oats in recycled pots, cared for their plants daily, and proudly watched them grow for the holidays. They also made colourful Easter palms using newspapers, cups, straws, and foil—decorations full of heart and dedication.

👏 Congratulations to all our creative students and dedicated teachers for their beautiful Easter masterpieces!

This was a wonderful lesson in creativity, collaboration, and environmental respect—an unforgettable way to celebrate the season and the values at the core of our Erasmus+ project.

As part of the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH project “From Waste to Art – Inclusion Through Art” (Project No: 2023-2-TR01-KA220-SCH-000170114), a dissemination training was held for our school’s classroom teachers by our participating teachers Sema Hanoğlu, Serdar Atlı, and Halime Gülbahar Koç, who took part in the “Innovative Lesson Planning” training in Burgas, Bulgaria.

On the first day of the training, key topics included:

• The concept of inclusive and integrative education
• Understanding prejudice in the classroom
• What makes a lesson plan innovative?
• The 5E Learning Model
• The SCAMPER Technique for creative thinking

The training provided valuable insights to help teachers design more creative, inclusive, and effective lesson plans for their classrooms.

Guided by the motto “Children don’t recognise differences”, the session featured:

• Interactive methods such as the Tombola technique
• Videos supported by real classroom scenarios
• Concrete examples to demonstrate the innovative planning process

We sincerely thank all the teachers who contributed to this meaningful training. We proudly share this step forward in creating a more inclusive and creative learning environment for all our students.

As part of the Erasmus+ KA220-SCH project “From Waste to Art – Inclusion Through Art” (Project No: 2023-2-TR01-KA220-SCH-000170114), coordinated by Konya Provincial Directorate of National Education, a meaningful tree planting activity was held in Meram Dutlukır Martyrs’ Forest.

The event brought together students from special education classes and 4-B and 4-C classes from Fatih Sultan Mehmet Primary School, along with their parents. Together, they planted saplings, watered them, and learned about the importance of protecting the environment.

More than just an environmental activity, the day became a powerful example of inclusion, cooperation, and friendship. Students with and without disabilities shared joyful moments in nature, strengthening their social bonds and promoting mutual understanding.

🌳 Let each sapling be a symbol of our growing friendships and the values we share!

This inspiring event reflected the core goals of the project—environmental responsibility, creativity, and inclusive education—and created unforgettable memories for all participants.
