welcome to language of photos
Although European countries are united, there is a multicultural community in the unity.They have some similiar and varying problems, in the educational systems. Because of these problems, young students lose their self-confidence, motivation for learning
and creativity. Depending on the results of questionnaires and evaluations, we can say that a majority of young students feel themselves socially isolated and discriminated because of their family backgrounds, physical appearances, learning difficulties, financial problems, different customs. We want to make these disadvantaged students active by giving responsibilities serving to the project's objectives. Through these activities, we believe that the students will be more creative, more self-confident and their motivation for foreign language learning, positive self-perception will increase. As a result, school-drops will decrease. We want to build up schools free from intolerance, violence, early school leaving, learning difficulties in foreign languages, prejudice, xenophobia.
