Kaiu Põhikool (Basic School) is situated in Rapla County, Estonia (http://www.kaiu.edu.ee/)

Kaiu is situated 65 km from our capital city Tallinn, to the south. It is a country settlement with about 700 hundred people. We live among picturesque forests, swamps and bogs where you can walk on specially built footpaths.
Our pupils are mostly from three different villages – Kaiu, Kuimetsa and Vahastu.
A school bus takes them who live far away to school and home– some live 25 km from school. Our students get free lunch at school, the state pays for it.
All our students are Estonians. We have only some families where one parent is from another nation.
We have a lot of out of school activities for our students – sport, folk dancing clubs, choirs, music school where they can play the piano and violin; a sport ground, a shooting gallery, and a swimming pool in summer. Our teachers organise theatre, museum visits and trips all over Estonia for the students but only a small group is interested or they simply do not have money.
Kaiu is a former big collective farm where most of the people were collective farmers. Now the collective farm does not exist any more people had to find work somewhere else. We have a small agricultural cooperation, a seaming, a labels making, a metal work and a truck companies. But all of them are very small enterprises and so many people have to find work further – in cities or abroad. A lot of educated people have moved away. Quite a lot of our students’ parents are not very much educated and do not care for the progress of their children or are unable to support them. We have unemployed and antisocial families.

 

ÖZEL ÜFTADE LİSESİ, Uşak, Turkey, is situated in the province of Uşak which is on the highway between Ankara, the capital, and İzmir and it is at the passage point of the major three regions in Turkey: Mediterranean, Interior Anatolia and Agean region. Uşak still has a scene of an old and small Atatolian town with its old houses and some historical monuments such as bazaars, mosques, baths. Its population is around 150.000 and most of the inhabitants are immigrants from the different parts of Turkey and there are some Gypsies here.
Our instutition is located on the beautiful part of the highway which connects Uşak to İzmir and out of city’s urban area. It is on the way between Uşak Organised Industry Zone and city centre. It has got a green landscape and it is surrounded with forests. There is a campus of Kocatepe University ahead of our school.
Our school has got students of various cultures and abilities. Due to the fact that our school is a boarding school, 50% of our students are from neighbouring cities and regions.
There are also some students whose families have gone to European countries to earn their living. Some of those students have grown up in Europe and they have difficulty with the Turkish language. They have especially communication problems in lessons and with friends. But these students are very successful in foreign language lessons. The teachers provide extra assistance for them in the lessons and communication. We give these students some chances of involvement in school activities and facilitate thus the interaction with other students.

 Colegiul National Mihai Eminescu-borderline

 

  2005 - 2007

 

        BORDERLINE    is a Socrates  - Comenius 1 project, with the title ” The frontier: a     no man’s land, a passage way, bridge and barrier between people, countries, stories", financed by the European Commission. In this European partnership  are involved 7 schools from six countries.

 

        Project coordinator: prof. HUDREA MARIANA

 

 

1. Liceo Scientifico Statale”Galileo Galilei”, Belluno, Italy – coordinating institution

2. Liceum Ogólnoksztalcace, Tarnów, Poland

3. Gymnasium, Vaduz, Fürstentum Lichtenstein

4. ”Mihai Eminescu” National College, Baia Mare, Romania

5. ”Mihail Kogalniceanu” Theoretical Highschool, Vaslui, Romania

6. Licée du Granier, La Ravoire, France

7. Gymnazium Galejova, Kosice, Slovakia

The project plans to approach the idea of frontier from both physical and metaphorical  points of view, dealing with its positive aspects (a bridge to something new, a place of possibilities), the problematic ones (the frontier as a barrier, as a limit, as an obstacle) as well as the frontier as a possible ignition poit for a conflict (the issue of choice and belonging).

The basic idea of the project is to get to know the people who are different from us, to learn and respect the others, to discuss the feeling of identity.

On the other hand, while respecting individual characteristics, the project intends to also approach the general integration values, the idea of inter-cultural understanding and territory.

All these are to be done based on research into the different aspects of the discussion and objective data (particularly historical, economic and legal), but also on the  life experiences, personal stories and testimonies of people living in  frontier areas , expressed through different forms of art.

The outcome of this project is expected to be, on the one hand, in the form of personal development of the participants as citizens, and,  on the other hand, in the form of cultural development. The main goal, however, is to build  education  for a Europe without barriers and frontiers, without obstacles which could impede the dialogue between peoples.
