Presentation of the Erasmus+ project ‘There is no difference in being different’ results
From 1st September 2020 to 28th February 2023 Gimnazija Sisak participated in Erasmus+ KA 229 project ‘There is no difference in being different’ (NODIF). The project, worth 53.520 Euros, was a cooperation with the partner schools in Romania and Turkey. The project carrier was Special Technological Highschool No3 from Bucharest, which educates hearing impaired students and the other participant was Merifon Atatürk Bilim Ve Sanat Merkezi from Merzifon, which is the center for students talented for Science and
Art. The project was planned to last for 18 months, however, due to pandemics it was extended for a year so it lasted for 30 months in total. During the first year, the project activities were held online through eTwinning activities and virtual meetings.
As a part of the project there were three students and teachers mobilities with planned project activities. Before every learning, teaching and training activity students had language, educational and cultural preparations. The first mobility was held in October 2021 in Merzifon, Turkey, the second in May 2022 in Sisak, Croatia and the third in October 2022 in Bucharest, Romania. Before students mobilities there were preparation activities, including research and presentation of the results on the eTwinning platform, as well as visits and conversations with the representatives of associations for disabled people and the local community.
The general goal of the project was the promotion of equality and inclusion through raising the awareness of acceptance and tolerance of social, language and cultural differences and during the project, students proved that it is possible to establish a high quality cooperation and work together on finding the solution
to the problem.
The representatives of The Association of Disabled People of Sisak and Moslavina County as well as the members of the press attended the presentation of the project results which were presented by the members of the project team, Mr Božidar Dujmić, the School Principal and professor Marina Kasa, along with the students who participated in the project activities.
