Start date: Dec 31, 2015, End date: Dec 30, 2016 PROJECT  FINISHED 

With the effort of Project Development Team, our school has been performing to be an international institution in accordance with 2020 strategy of EU Commission. Our students show differences in terms of their personel characteristics, intelligence levels and family background. Due to the current facts of the school such as full time inclusion activities for disabled students, presence of the students who are accomodated in orphanage(under protect program), fled from war in Syria, sexist approach of the pupils between the ages 10-14, reluctance of the students to attend the courses, failures in setting purpose, the need for new educational approaches has increased. Our teachers are currently using the methodologies which has traditionally been using and has been proven to be effective on the students with certain individual development characteristics and various learning needs. Failure of the Syrian students to speak Turkish results in interpersonel communication problems and negatively impacts academic skills; however, creative drama activities which includes various musical activities and games have already proven to be more effective as a universal language to communicate. With the impact of rapid changes in the field of education and inter cultural interactions, there is an increasing need to improve the current methodologies applied for the target group as well as the development of the professional skills of our teachers. Particularly after the number of the students in the target group increased this year, it has been necassary for our students to make contributions in terms of coping with peer victimisation, respect for individual differences, keeping and increasing the success level of the school. It has been seen that creative drama is successfully implemented in European countries. Creative drama activities are often implemented to create an attractive school environment for our students who are in the inclusion groups (attention deficit, hyper activity, physical and mental deficiency), accomodates at boys orphanage, or emigrated to Turkey as war victims. In this regard, our primary purpose is to increase their verbal communication skills of these students, to meet their social needs, to ensure their school attandance and integration with the school, to cope with peer victimisation and improve their problem solving skills in terms of conflicts through creative drama. It is also aimed to integrate creative drama to the courses in all branches to ensure that all students access the education by learning through experiences, enjoying without being isolated. Thus, it will be possible for all the students to strengthen the ties among themselves, strengthen their group cooperation and love the school. It is our main target to strengthen adaptation these students which have been exposed to social exclusion and their parents to the school and strengthen the communication between themselves. The Project will be provided by 24 participants. These participants will be selected among those who have attended similar drama courses, can apply their learnings during the classes, currently continue their master degrees, open to self development, enthusiastic and interactive and can represent our country abroad in the best way. New learning outputs will be achieved in terms of creative drama as a result of two constructed education opportunity to Czech Republic(1-5 Fabruary 2016 )and Finland (08-13 August 2016). The following methodology and techniques will be followed: a preliminary test before the courses and a final test will be applied to measure to what extend participants and target group show development after the acceptance of the project. The experiences gained will be applied in the classes, drama boards and a web page. Regular meetings will be held with the teachers who takes part in the implementation, the observations will be shared and feasibility of the project will be followed through the interviews of the Guidance Service with the target group. The competences of the participants will increase to implement “learning by practicing and experience” methods in an universal and contemprary manner. The optimistic impact spreading from the class to the school will help the target group to gain a positive perpective and increase their entrepreunership for the future. Taking into account that there are also similar groups in the surrounding schools, it will be possible to spread the impact over the other students and teachers with similar institutions by holding up a seminar.Emotional feelings such as social exlusion, absense of the sence of self belonging, mistrust will be minimized. The students which learn to build self confidence and trust others will be encouraged to set his/her targets in the life.
