Our host is the Şehit Askeri Çoban İlkokulu school. The school has 1,250 students, 100 of whom are refugees.

We got to know our colleagues, the school education system, classrooms, cabinets and a specialized classroom.

A specialized classroom is used for the Harezmi educational model. According to the Harezma model, students solve the established problem task independently but with the professional guidance of the teacher. They solve the problem task using: workshops, digital tools, discussions and other creative ways.

We attended morning meetings over breakfast with the principal and deputy principals and the school's professional service. We talked about the structure of the school, challenges and specifics in working with refugee students, raising awareness of their problems and their integration into the school system. We learned from students and their parents how students and parents experience integration into school life and socialization in classes. They were very accommodating!

We are familiar with the involvement of refugee students and children with disabilities in the "Healthy Nutrition" school project. The goal of the project is to make children independent to carry out basic daily tasks. They learn about healthy eating, prepare food, after meals they clean dishes and do laundry independently.
