Dearest ICT Seagulls,
We are approaching to the deadline of 2011 ICT Seagulls Projects. On the 1st of June I hope all the registered teams will be able to hand in the web pages of their projects.
This year, university teams seem to be working very hard. How?
1. Istanbul Bilgi University students are collaborating with an NGO for the disabled. They work for the residents of a spinal cord paralytics at Hüsnü Ayık Nursing House (www.tofd.org.tr). Since the beginning of the year, they visit the Nursing House regularly and upon the needs of the paralytics they give seminars, they share their problems and they give their love and empathy to them.
2. Boğaziçi University circle focused on non-violence and dignity. They started a little bit late and now thay are conducting their survey.
3.and 4. Kingston University, London is in the project with 2 circles. It started with one circle_Qualitas but after my visit there on 2nd February thet decided to form and start the second Circle named; SQC: International & South Africa Networking_Network & Security.
Our other international circles belong to;
1. Little Angels High School, India,
2. Rabbani School, India,
3. Budhanilkantha School, Kathmandu, Nepal
4. Tshwane School, South africa.
The remaining Teams belong to Turkey. Schools from Izmir, Muğla, Burdur, Tekirdağ and Istanbul are working on their projects.
Last week, Turkish Radio Television Broadcasting Company's Radio 1 interviewed with me and with 2 students from Muğla Circles. If you want to listen to it (sorry in Turkish) you can tick the link below the Turkish section of this web page.
The International Award Ceremony will take place in City Montessori School,Lucknow, ındia on 3rd December 2011.If we can create the appropriate circumstances we also organize a national ceremony is Turkey, but it will be clear in July, after the Evaluation Phase.
I wish good luck to all members of all projects. Ethics is a very improtant issue in our project and please do not forget to mention and also place our logos and names on your project web pages.
