Our first trip - Samsun, Turkey |
October 14th 2019 saw the start of our amazing exchange program and the official launch of the project: Making STEAM literacy a reality for all students.
Our generous hosts at SAMSUN ANADOLU LISESI made all of our partner schools feel incredibly welcome from the start. We began our brand new project with workshops on acid rain. Students were charged with the task of building a model town complete with road, houses and people. Once the love, care and attention to detail was complete, the Chemistry team arrived to demonstrate and explain the detrimental effects of acid rain on our surroundings. The students teamed up to report their findings and what they learnt over the course of the week, which they can now share with our Erasmus team and other students at school.
Team Samsun blew us away with their incredible generosity and accommodating welcome. If there were ever any doubts about taking part with Erasmus, these were immediately eradicated as the power and positivity of exchange became more and more evident as the week went on. All visiting students were welcomed like new family members by their host students and raved about how well looked after they were. The staff and students at Samsun presented their city and country to us with such pride, helping us to gain an amazing cultural insight into Turkish traditions, food and sites. The cultural exchange benefits were an incredible learning experience for all staff and students and we hope that the rest of us can reciprocate with the same unbelievably high standards when it’s our turn to host.
