P.A.L.S. (PUPILS AGAINST LABELS AND STEREOTYPES)
Okulumuz 2024-2025 Eğitim-Öğretim yılında yürütülmek üzere P.A.L.S. - Pupil Against Labels and Stereotypes (Öğrenciler Etiketlere ve Kalıplaşmış Yargılara Karşı) adlı eTwinning projesine katılmıştır. Bu proje, 12-14 yaş arası öğrenciler arasında kapsayıcılığı, empatiyi ve kültürel farkındalığı geliştirmeyi amaçlayan uluslararası işbirlikçi bir eTwinning projesidir. Klişeleri yıkan kampanyalar oluşturarak ve sanal fotoğraf ve video sergisi gibi ilgi çekici etkinlikler aracılığıyla öğrenciler kalıp yargılara meydan okuyacak, çeşitliliği kucaklayacak ve eleştirel düşünme, takım çalışması ve dijital becerileri geliştirecektir. Proje, kültürler arası iş birliğini teşvik ederek öğrencilerin İngilizce dil yeterliliklerini geliştirirken açık fikirli küresel vatandaşlar olmalarına yardımcı olacaktır. Proje etkinlikleri Aralık ayından başlayarak Mayıs ayına kadar aylık olarak yürütülecektir.
