We are here in Munich to make the desicions of the project in the second year. We are satisfied to be here with the partners of the project. We are having good time.

What do people do?

Many people in Turkey commemorate the first gathering of the Grand National Assembly (the Turkish Parliament), which took place on April 23, 1920, by attending local ceremonies or laying wreaths at monuments of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, the founder of the Turkish Republic. The biggest ceremony takes place at the Ataturk Mausoleum in Ankara.

Because Ataturk reportedly dedicated the Turkish Republic to children, Turkish schoolchildren take seats in the Parliament for the day and symbolically govern the country. They elect a president who then addresses the country on national television. Children’s festivals take place throughout the country. The state-run Turkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT) brings children, aged eight to 14, from different countries around the world to Turkey. These children stay with Turkish families for a week and participate in children’s festivals, which culminate is a gala-performance on April 23.

Public life

National Sovereignty and Children’s Day is an official holiday in Turkey. Government offices, schools and most businesses are closed on this day. Public transport routes may vary in the event of street performances.

Background

The first gathering of the Turkish Grand National Assembly took place on April 23, 1920, during Turkey’s War of Independence (1919-1923). Mustafa Kemal Ataturk proclaimed the parliament an important step toward building a new state after the Ottoman Empire was defeated during World War I. Ataturk reportedly dedicated the Turkish Republic to children in Turkey.

Turkey officially celebrated Grand National Assembly Day on April 23 and held a children’s week starting on that day, from 1923–1934. The Turkish government then combined the two events into National Sovereignty and Children’s Day in 1935. Turkish Radio and Television Corporation has been organizing international children’s festivals, held during the week of April 23, since 1979.

My experience in Munich by Ana Macías Galán

My experience in Munich has been very good, this has made improve my English. I have met many friends and I have many good experiences, although not everything has been so good, because the first day I felt a little overwhelmed in the house of my German partner, Linhano. I liked the food at home but I didn`t like the food at school.

I like all the sites we have visited, especially the Allianz Arena, then Olympic village, The BMW tower, the castle of Neuschwanstein and the center of Munich.

In summary, I have good memories of Munich and I would repeat it.

Impressions from the meeting in Germany

Project meeting in Germany 8.4. - 12.4.

We had a wonderful meeting last week in Munich and I wanted to say a big thank you to everyone participating! Everything went really smoothly, the students enjoyed themselves and I think the teachers had a good time as well!

Our programme was:

Monday: welcome event
Tuesday: trip to Neuschwanstein castle and Wieskirche
Wednesday: class participation, visit of Allianz Arena
Thursday: project work (national holidays and festivities), farewell event + presentation of project work

It was a good opportunity to get to know each other better and we are looking forward to meeting you all and all the other teachers participating in the following meetings!
