"EUROPE WITHOUT PREJUDICES"

Our school participates in the Comenius multilateral school partnerships action titled "Europe Without Prejudices". Schools from Germany, Estonia, Poland and Turkey are partners in this project too. The project is going to develop cultural knowledge and to diminish racism and xenophobia. It is to encourage students to exchange ideas and knowledge about their countries and it has a good opportunity to improve language skills as well as to increase the motivation of children and teachers. Exchanging traditions, ideas, opinions, methods, thoughts, cultures with their peers across Europe, our children will increase their knowledge about other European places and people. These unforgetable activities will make them aware of their identity. This is a natural way to overcome prejudices and ignorance in order to be able to regain self-esteem, and start to feel part of the same European community.

OUR PROPOSAL FOR THE PROJECT'S LOGO

COMENIUS LOGO - slide show

   Our logo consists of the globe, around of which there are paper forms of people that cover all the countries of the world. In front of this there are our hands touching each other, like a common body. On our hands is written the title of Comenius project "Europe Without Prejudices".
   The globe was inspired in order to show the union of all the continents and the solidarity of the countries. The paper people around it, symbolize that humans are equal and respect the special differences, like the cultures, the civilizations, the customs and the religious beliefs. Our hands under the globe mean that we don't have to emphasize the differences but we have to hug all people! It's essential to be open-minded and we have to fade all kind of prejudices, which are carved in our souls.
   Our aim is all fears about the different, the unknown to be overcomed. We have to find interest in learning from the special characteristics of the personalities of all people. We hope in a society without stereotypes that only the equality will be dominant.
