Ugurcan from Iskenderun /Turkey(Travelling to Portugal)

Hey!

I’m Uğurcan. I am from Turkey and I live in Iskenderun , at the southeastern part of Turkey, Iskenderun is a small place but I like living here. I am studying at Istiklal Makzume Anatolian High School and live with my family in a house close to my school. My mother is an anaesthetist and my father is a mining engineer he has been abroad for months because of his work.And i have a brother who is studying at university. And I want to be an architect or industrial designer.

Anyway, I’m 17 and I was born in 8th February 1994, I have brown eyes and brown short hair and I am wearing glasses . And I’ve been playing piano for a year, I’m an amateur but I belive I will improve myself, because playing piano is a passion for me. Also I love painting very much, even I’ve painted my room ,it looks messy but I like my room.

And I love listening music so much (who doesn’t ? ) rock music is my best and my favourite band is Evanescence , I love their music and lyrics so much, it’s biggest reason for me to start taking piano courses.And I also like Nightwish(with Tarja Turunen), t.A.T.u. , Marilyn Manson .

I’m friendly and warm but I’m slightly moody.I enjoy spending my time with my friends and watching films with them (especially thriller movies and comedies), Jim Carrey and Jodie Foster are my favourites and ‘The Number 23’ is my favourite of Jim Carrey’s movies.And ’Flight Plan’ is the best of Jodie Foster’s movies (I think)

I want to take part in Comenius Project, because I want to meet with people who are from other countries and have different lifestyles.And absolutely for improving my language skills.

This Blog

The project Blog contains everything related to the Comenius project “Let’s Travel!”: summary, objectives, activities, mobilities, project meetings, results, evaluation… It is a visual and dynamic online platform which illustrates and disseminates the project development through regular updating: writings, introductions, descriptions of places, pictures and videos on Tourism as a topic. All outcomes on the Blog are the results of students’ and teachers’ common team work at the seven partner schools.

The Garden in Portugal

Although uncompleted, coordinators from the seven partner schools decided to maintain the Garden in Portugal as one of the most emotive outcomes of our project. Seeds of plants from the local flora in each country were sent to the school in Portugal. Students of Tourism and Gardening from Ferreira do Zêzêre collected and let them germinate. They created a greenhouse, which was unfortunately seriously damaged by a destructive tornado at the beginning of 2011. A big part of the garden got lost.

Evaluation Questionnaires and Power Point Presentation

Three model questionnaires for mobilities were made, separately for guests (teachers and students) and hosts (students). Teachers and students who took part in mobility filled these questionnaires after each meeting and conclusions were compiled by Polish teachers to make our work better and more efficient. The most important conclusions from questionnaires were summed in the Power Point presentation which was presented during the last mobility in Spain, were all coordinators from partner schools were present.

7 Different Kinds of Tourism in 7 Different Countries

The seven partner schools of the Project “Let’s Travel!” did of Tourism a topic to investigate and analyse. They found out the characteristics, the means of transport, the baggage, the accommodation, the duration and the money required for seven different kinds of tourism and tourists in the seven partnership countries. They produced a considerable quantity of documents with information and pictures on activities related to cultural, historical, religious, natural, health, sport and educational tourism.
