Our project is a big Awareness Project. Regular students prepared materials for special students. These materials are available to all students digitally. On special occasions, interviews were conducted with experts in the field. Thus, the meaning and importance of these days were explained to many students and parents. I am very happy to be involved in this project. It honored me and my students to do useful things for our special students. I thank all my project friends.

Hello! I'm Aymeric. I have participated in many interviews in this project. I've met foreign partners. I improved my ability to speak English, especially by talking to Carla and her students. I was very impressed with the disabled people we met on special occasions. Our collaborative work on these forces has created a change in the people around me. Thank you, etwinning!

Hello to everyone! I'm Kerem. Thanks to this project, I learned web2.0 tools that I never knew about. Then I created books, videos, games with these tools. I was very happy when I found out that the students of teacher Carla liked the products we prepared.

Hello! My name is Oytun! Thanks to this project, I experienced the beauty of creating something for someone. I've always noticed people with disabilities in society. Actually, we can all be disabled at any moment. We have to learn to respect them. How unbearable the world would be if everyone in the world was the same...

I'm Sude. Hello to everyone! Being involved in this project has brought me a lot. Thank You, Semra Teacher! I'm glad you hired me on this project. Carla, it was nice to meet the teacher's students, talk to people in other countries. It was very nice to work with the mixed school team, to do something in cooperation. If only one person had written the last poem we wrote, this kafar would not be beautiful. From written at different times in different cities, a perfect poem emerged. Here, it is very important to know your responsibility, to follow the Twinspace well. I met the new web2 tools. I learned a lot of things I didn't know in interviews from experts in the field. I'm glad I was involved in this project.

"We're beautiful together."

My Name is Şükran Yenigelen. I am Pre School Teacher in Cemil Şükrü Çolakoğlu Primary  I am happy to see that we have reached a point a little further than the point we set out on when establishing the project. ı am happy to see that we have reached a point a little further than the point we set out on when establishing the project. Our project, which is essentially an empathy and awareness raising project, had an important function such as using web2 tools, contributing to production with web 2 tools, evaluating waste materials, contributing to recycling and even creating learning materials. Starting the project with 5-year-old preschool children has been very effective in generating ideas, method development and practice for problem solving, which is among the 21st century skills. With individual as well as collaborative work, sharing and group activities, both sense of belonging and achievement have developed. We reached children who respect differences, are helpful, care about the feelings and needs of others and offer solutions that lead to solutions through project-based education. Good thing we are in the Let Hearts Be One project.

I asked my students questions about the project and they answered yeeeeeeeessssssss

He was happy when he did the project, we had difficulties in distance education, he did not want to enter, but when he went to face-to-face education, he went very happily.

Hello, first of all, I would like to thank you for contributing to such beautiful projects, I think it is very useful for my daughter, we are very happy for ourselves, I hope this project has created the necessary difference, thank you for your effort.

project evaluation by students' families

Doing good things for the benefit of others, being in the projects you will implement, most importantly, the preparation of these with children made them so happy. Thank you very much for your sensitivity to bring this project to life, thanks to all of you

Personally, me and my son had so much fun, whether it was the project we worked on or the pictures. Of course, it contributed a lot for my son, it was very good for him to learn what children with special needs like this can't do or what he does.

I'm sorry, I'm outside, so we liked the project so much that I will write to you in writing, İdil is more compassionate and tries to help  After this project, İdil became more sensitive and felt pity and started to put herself in their place

Hello. First of all, getting education from a sensitive teacher like you, raising our awareness, giving us a glimmer of hope, I congratulate you and thank you for your contribution to our adoption of distance education. We love you very much as the KÜÇÜK  family.. Of course, it made him happy. It raised his awareness of us taking part in such a project, and it made him empathize. It became a guide for how we can integrate our disabled children into society. Congratulations once again for your efforts and efforts, my dear teacher.

First of all, I would like to thank our teachers who have always been by our side with the opportunities they have provided us in the online environment in education and training during these difficult days of isolation we are in. With this system, at least for ourselves, Nehir has a well-disciplined school day planned as if she were going to school, and thanks to this, she was able to get through the troubled times without falling into the void. The approaches of our teachers before and during the trainings made it easier for my daughter to adapt to this different process. It was also very important that he prepared with great care every day, attended and loved the lessons. It's clear that a lot of effort has been put into it. I would like to thank our valuable teachers who successfully teach online training as if they were in the classroom. Health to our work. Good luck to you.

We are very happy to be involved in this project and we are happy if we have contributed even a little bit... Also, Asuman explained that he took part in this project, wanted to share his family with his close friends and encourage them, and the project made a great contribution in this respect. We can also say that our uncle had this experience because his uncle was disabled, but his approach to his uncle has increased even more. Our daughter's willingness to help our disabled children and her approach to them have changed for the better. We are proud to take part in other projects like this one.

Finally, our common opinion as Cemil Şükrü Çolakoğlu Primary School students, parents and teachers ,It is a great honor to take part in the Let Hearts Be One project, as it paves the way for my 5-year-old students to become better-hearted people above all else. We would like to thank all our project partners and students for their efforts.

I'm so happy to be participating in this project.  When I saw the founders' message inviting other countries to join the project, I though it would be perfect for my vocational students who are preparing to be school assistants.

I'm glad to say that the results of the project are better than  anticipated: we learned a lot, not just about special needs, but also about each other's culture. Students were very engaged in the project activities. These activities, besides raising awareness for inclusion of special needs children,  alowed them to reveal responsibility and autonomy, and also to improve their english language and ICT skills.. 

I’m Micaela. I enjoyed being involved in this project. The videoconference sessions were the activities that had more impact on my student and professional life.

Hello! I'm Vanessa.In my opinion, the more interesting activities of the “Let hearts be one” project were the meetings with specialists, because we managed to acquire more knowledge. We can take that knowledge to our professional and personal life.

Hi, I'm Catarina. I found the eTwinning project very interesting. I learned a lot, and that will be very useful in my professional life, as well as in my personal life.

Hi, I'm Ana. In this project, I learned a lot about different types of disabilities, some of which I didn't know about. I learned to use webtools that I will definitely continue to use.

Students' comments

Hi, I'm Liliana and today I'm going to talk about the usefulness of this eTwinning project. I was familiar with it's topic as I deal with people with special needs. I will certainly use the new knowledge I gained in the future.

Hi, I'm Silvana. I really enjoyed working on the eTwinning project "Let hearts be one". I enjoyed learning to use new tools. I got in contact with people from other languages, which was interesting.

I'm Sara. By participating in this project, I learned about how to deal with children with special needs. I also used webtools that I had no idea existed.

I'm Beatriz. I gained a lot of knowledge that will be important for my career. It was definitely a project that I enjoyed participating in and I am grateful for that. I got to know a lot more about the topics covered and had fun creating and participating in the activities. I had the opportunity to socialize with Turkish people, whom I am a fan of.

The digital educational resourses sent by İZMİR ARKAS SCİENCE AND ART CENTER to our school were super-interessing. Our special needs students, who have cognitive deficit, were delighted to receive this wonderful gift. 

They were very interested in the materials. They asked to spell the words they saw (like the names of the musical instruments), because they were so proud that they were "reading" in English. Then, we had to spend the next classes playing, again and again, the games they loved the most.

                        Thank you very much!

"Let Hearts Be One"  In our project with nine partners, many of us could not share the same environment, but the hearts were the same, and people with the same hearts came together. In our project, many common products were shared in order to contribute to the development of social emotional cognitive motor skills of children with special needs, without the meaning of distance. In our project, where people with special needs and individuals with normal development emphasize that distance is not important in all circumstances, the product work is shared in accordance with its purpose in the project called "Let the Hearts Be One", where people with special needs and individuals with normal development emphasize that what they can achieve with music education, they can participate in life by making short films, and guiding education is given in all areas of life regardless of the type of disability. I am happy to take part in teacher-student-parent webinars and I am proud to see hearts beating together for individuals with special needs.Our project has been completed in line with general principles and necessary knowledge and skills have been shared.I wish hearts to be together always and everywhere. Best regards...
