Atmosphere of rain forest in National Museum...

Relax after walking for a long time is the best situation I have ever had in the Copenhagen :) Not at all,of course. Sounds of nature within snakes,monkeys,waterfall,birds,etc and figures of native tribe made me excited. I am always wondering how can they alive although they are in the wild and how can they live within. It must be amazing ! I have a desire that I really want to go these areas to help them and not only for this reason but also I want to learn their tradition and viewpoints about everything.
National Museum is the largest museum of Denmark. It was really amazing for me. Especially tha part of Rain Forest :)

In my opinion....

Leaving their home country,living their habitual home...Different people with similar culture gave us knowledge about Denmark and its education,economy,etc. Then I realized what the mean of hygge when the time is 3 a.m :) Just discussion took us different worlds and put us to the ground and waited until it was over. We have students and parents. Seyhan and I will be a teacher as well. It means we have teachers' glass on our eyes even we are still students. Thus students from Denmark and Turkey. Only one student is Danish. The certain objest is difference,sure:)
In my opinion,they have lots of chances to get good jobs such as teacher,engineer,doctor or like that. Beside all of them they can be shop assistant,waiter in quality places etc when they are 16. I could not believe the amount of money which is given from government to the youth graduated from high school. It is enough to live when you are working in somewhere, it is better than to be noone. So they said to us 'we dont want to go to university ,graduating from high schools is enough to get job and at the same time the money is also enough to live.'. I was shocked. The other interesting point is they all aggreed with this absurd idea.
In Turkey, we can not say it. Even we are graduated from university, it is possible not to get job in first year maybe until you make some remarkable things and create supernaturel staffs! We have no chance to say 'dont want '. We have to improve ourselves and know whole information about our department.
Richness is principally important thing in this step. Beside all opinions, improving ourselves is the other subject. For instance,we are all erasmus students who came from different countries and were not observed by someone. Just to improve our characteristic,English and add different behaviour comes from relationship with the others make us an adult. It is our desire. I definetely aggree that educational system in Denmark amazing! Near it I have to say there is no awareness about real life among youth...

I am a Turkish so....

Dancing in Turkish style! Mainly, Most of us interested in dancing and sing a song in special way of course! We called this style 'çifte telli' , I can not translate it to English. In Our weddings and the other celebrations we always do this style of dance. Music rhythms, especially sounds of drums create our the other traditional dance called belly dance:) I missed my all friends. It was new year party and we really enjoyed the night. I want to dance with them in the possible short time again...:')

Turkish coffee and some figures on traditional plate shows our fortune:) That is not all true of course,Just drinking and chatting about it makes us relax and energitic. I really like to drink it so I am a Turk!

That's why we have a little umbilicus is that delicious meal! I am a Turk beacuse I usually prefer to eat it to something else. It is better for us, of course, with AYRAN :) Yoghurt with water and salt. At the same time we drink it cause of being a Turk as well...

Black tea... Smells like friendship with a lot of laugh. Talking with each others with a couple of tea is the most important think for us,in common. Breakfast,lunch time or whenever you want is the time to drink it. Tea is not only a drink for us, just to be together when we need it. I chat with my friends with tea in the traditional glass that's why I am a Turk;)

Kissing our relatives hands in speacial days(religius feast especially) is the most interesting heritage about Turkish people in my opinion. To show our respects and protect our tradition we do this behaviour because we are Turkish!

Another different traditional behaviour! Especially in feasts and speacial days(for instance before getting married there is a meeting with the other family members,cologne is used in this situation also) we use it that's why we are Turkish:) it makes you fresh as well,try it :)

Yeah! Gammon,we called it TAVLA! I am a Turk so I like playing this game with my friends. But do not forget to drink tea playing TAVLA;)

P.C:It is my own picture :)

Show imagination,get information!

It was the one of my best exercises. Language and identity is our lessons' name. We have to think about our languages' color and where and which shape we painted in the figure. It was very enjoyable time I have lived in Haderslev. My imagination with my colors was in my figure. By that way, knowledge was not only individual stuff in the books also in our brains therefore we got the main purpose within the exercise. Actually, Danish educational system wants to us show imagination and then get information!

I do want to explain my figure abot my language portrait. My brain is full of BLUE. The color means freedom and sky for everyone who agreed about only this color's code. Feelings,ideas,opinions and just everything in my brain and heart could have signified in mother tongue is Turkish for me. To feel like you are in the sky and to say sth easily are possible when you are talking in your mother tongue.
If you want to travel a lot, you have to speak in English. Stepping to another country's color is brown in my dream. High arrow will help me to get the language as my mother tongue one day:)
Orange and fun! Match these words cause of senses of orange like they are smiling:) I can not speak in German except known and mainly centences such as wer bist du ;) Nevertheless, ı can write much more sentences like doing a puzzle by my hand,sure.
The other languages what they will need a ground to grow up in my body. White is for you, my dream languages , in this way your color will not change anymore...

And the last exercise is writing poem to which color you choiced.Here is my poem...


POEM FOR MY BLUE SKY!

Freedom!
Blue sky...
In my brain.
I feel so free!
Explain...

Sinem HIZLI:)
(Of course,we had to write it in speacial way. for instance having just 11 words in the poem is the main rule.)

About our first presentation...

It was the first time we introduced our country and our leader called Mustafa Kemal ATATURK. Our flag and our map are here. Red and white on the smart board and on my clothes,too. We have not got enough time to explain who is ATATURK and what is the main topic and idea about Turkey. We selected just shortest way goes to main idea. Talking about him made me very excited. When I mentioned him to someone, I would like to him/her to be aware of something that is important for Turkey. While you are listening our real stories about Turkey without him, you can see differences between two portraits. It is clear and unbelievable. I will not talk about reforms he made for Turkey, so long to write and so diffucult to explain clearly. All of them extremely represents what cleverness is.

Everybody knows that what is the meaning of bridge in the world. Asia and Europe are closed by the Bosphorus. It shows that we have many kind of cultures and we are happy to live this richness. We could not show all panoramas of Turkey,sure. But it was realy good experience for me to talk about Turkey. I realized something,when my friends asked about pictures, I don't know well whole cities and their panoramas. There are many different colors from different cities. I thought that I will travel in Turkey after finish my erasmus course:) And It is good country to travel. In my opinion, It is also useful to feel warm and cold at the same time in different cities. Swimming and skiing are possible in the same season. Just an advice,We will look forward to see guests in our country:)

An amazing experience in Danish schools!

First of all, I want to say that we have lots of differences about educational system.

1. Revival for the lessons


2. Population in the class


3. Using technology


4. The way of teaching objects and lessons


5. Pupils' viewpoints and behaviours


6. Chance to do something

Singing and talking together is the best way to revival in the morning I've ever seen . By this way, they can open their brain before the lessons. This is just the beginning to open their brains. It continued during the lessons. Brain storms, to major on the main idea, using their fantasy on their homework and exercises...We have not got an implementation like that.

They are just 15-20 students in each class. Population is so enough to teach and learn. In Turkey,(It depends on cities but I mean It is in general),25-50 students can be in the same class. It is normal. Private schools is not like that,of course but public schools have lots of students although they have less classes. If we have not got many clever pupils, our educational system can not do lots of things to make us better.

When teacher said them it is time to start,they went out and took their computers from technology room. They started to do their homeworks and focus on this point-----> only homeworks were done ! It is an amazing detail for me because whenever students have a computer in Turkey,they start to search something on the net,see some pictures maybe join facebook:) I thought that It is normal before I came here. I realized that If you find computers easily,you dont need to do these kind of things. There is an another situation that you must be conscious about using computers.They have smart boards in all classes.

It was a mathematic lesson. They talked about what will we need when we want to make a square. It was just like a recipe. They thought about this,they found some deficiency in their conversations and in the and They have learned all details about square. In Turkey,firstly we have to learn all details from lessons and books. Than we start to do lots of exercises about object.

The other difference is similar to the third. Teacher went out in the lesson and silence was kept out by the students. It was interesting condition and athmosphere for me.

On the other hand,In denmark,Students are lucky to have chance to find something they wonder or study. It is so easy to use technology because of government and consciusly teachers. They have a power to do all things. Less population is the other object that is important to give education. All of qualities, I mentioned, make them better.

Comparative studies

8 different countries from all over Europe! We will have a kind of map to understand the way of learning and teaching different ways on this lessons. It makes me excited. In my opınıon most of the educational systems in the world similar on the papers. But their cultures,viewpoints,personalities,ideas can make lots of differences among them. But the question is who is 'they'? They are teachers,of course! Teaching to ask why,to be sensitive for the others to pupil,to aim independently,to think democratically are the most important responsibilities for teachers. We have to imagine,dream about something,have experience by our fantasies as students. Maybe we have a puzzle! Lets play the game :)

The first day of my life in haderslev!

Travelling... Travelling... And travelling again:) Yes,I like travelling but it was very tiring experience for me. I flied and It was the first time in my life. It was night and everywhere was black. While we were getting closer to floor,I saw a big area full of white. I have not seen a photo like that. Lights and snow were dancing together and It made me very excited to be there. We met lots of people from Denmark and from Turkey. Firstly,a man who was working in airport smiled me when I said to him _god formiddag_. We talked about Denmark and what is erasmus. Just a word can open a lot of doors,I learned it by this way. As far as I see Danish people smile a lot. It makes them very sweet. I can say easily because an another man who was working on the train smiled at us every time:) At the same time he helped us to take our luggage into the train. These are my first experiencesabout Danish people. It was important and these are all ok;)
