What is Meet My Friend?
Meet My Friend project is a cultural
understanding project which is running nationally every year in Turkey . International students will enrich Turkish
High Schools by doing presentations about their home countries, facilitating “discussion days” and “mini projects”in about local and global issues.
Meet My Friend is a great opportunity for international interns to learn about the lifestyle in Turkey and for Turkish students to find
out more about foreign cultures.
The long term goal of the project is to foster cultural understanding and the motivation to learn foreign languages, of Turkish students.
Also by the help of “discussion days” and “mini projects” our aim is to raise the awareness of children for local and global problems and become social responsible.
All interns will work with children who are around 15-17 years old and studying in Turkish high schools. The project will run in high schools and all trainees will present their countries during classes to
the students.
On the other hand all the participants of the project will have a chance to live and learn real Turkish culture through the project. Trainees will live in Turkish host families in order to get to know a
deep insight in the Turkish Culture.
Participating trainees will have the chance to meet and work together with students from all over the world coming from around
20 different countries.

Country Presentations in High Schools;
In the first month of the project the participating
interns will make country presentations and answer the questions in minds about their country, culture coming from Turkish students in high schools which we cooperate with since 2003.
Discussion Days;
The interns will facilitate “discussion days” in the 3rd quarter of the project. The intern will be responsible to search and find the topic to discuss
with the students by the help of Project teams in schools (e.g global warming). This time, each intern will have one high school to facilitate
“discussion days” in. By the help of proactive students in the schools the intern will prepare outputs of
“discussion days” to be used in “mini projects”. Discussion days will take 15 days in each school.
Mini Projects;
With the outputs of discussion days, the interns will
prepare mini projects together with the Project teams created in schools (e.g. a seminar in school
adressing the issue discussed before). The
interns main responsibility will be facilitating these projects and make the students act about the topic adressed in discussion days. Mini
projects will help us to impact more concrete to the students and they will enjoy taking responsibility about important issues in their very early ages.
