UK Time – Discovering Great Britain, by
İpekçilik Anatolian Imam Hatip Project High
School
Six countries from eight teachers collaborated to
rediscover United Kingdom by coordinating among
themselves. Georgia, Ukraine, Poland, Slovenia and
Turkey successfully worked on the development of
speaking skills as well as their knowledge of Great
Britain’s traditions, holidays, historical places, food,
sports etc. The amazing number for students was
121.
Having penpals and writing friendly e-mails,
learning other countries’ traditions helped them to
create an unforgettable interaction among the
students and teachers. One of the famous play of
Shakespeare was performed by the eTwinners of
Prep-F.
The most amazing part was that Mr. Gümüş
reorganized and updated the play for the female
students. The achievement of the project was based
on tolerance and respect to one another. Opening
the real gift boxes during a video conference was
the bright side of the project. Another advantage
was to work with my colleaques Serkan Gümüş,
Esra Akça, Murat Tekece and Daniel Von Ruff.
At the end of the project, the students were more
equipped, had self-confidence, and they were aware
of the values of their own civilization and other
nationalities.
The perfect part of the project was the exchange of
Christmas gifts and cards via post among the
partners. They had the advantage of using Sykpe
meetings during class hours presenting their
Padlets to each others. It was the fantastic example
of religious tolerance and hospitality.
