International ICT Seagulls Projects

Dear All,
ICT Seagulls Project has started its 7th year with the main theme of "On the way of training quality persons, the importance of Arts education". Many interesting and joyful projects have been going on at various schools. Since the theme is "Art" the participation is high. We have 54 registered projects:
Out of 54 projects;
- two are conducted at pre-schools,
- 20 at primary and secondary schools,
- 15 in high schools,
- 3 collaborated with NGOs,
- 3 in universities, and
- 11 international circles. Totally 54 projects!
We are really happy about the improvements. We addede new jury members to our judges. There are very wellknown and important artists among them. Their contribution will be immense to the projects.
On the following days, you will see the list of all circles on our web address: www.bilisimcimartilar.com
I would like to thank to all the students, teachers, parents and administrators who have been supporting the circles.
In six years' time, I conducted 212 projects, and this year 54 more projects have been added. That means, through 266 projects we have touched nearly 3,000 people, not only from Turkey but also from USA, India and South Africa. We with our circles' members feel the huge satisfaction of communicating, producing, using ICT and problem solving. We are tasting PEACE. That number cannot be underestimated. We are proud of this hard and voluntary work. Today I was at Sarıyer Vehbi Koç Foundation High School. The above photo shows only one circle out of 8 circles of that school. They were very happy and excited.
I am thankful to all of you. You are me and I am you. I love you so much dearest Seagulls. I wish you good luck for the coming days.
