KRUG Youth Center

KRUG Youth Center  - KRUG Art movement is a NGO in public service specialized in the art activities, cultural researches, non-formal adult education and cultural memory presentations. Since 2001 we have been working in Kardzhali region where lives the biggest part of the Turkish minority in Bulgaria. 

KRUG has two main structures – situated in Kardzhali and in the Turkish village of Dazhdovnitsa, Municipality Kardzhali. The first one called KRUG Center for cultural policy and education promotes programs for art and cultural education and was established in 2001 in Kardzhali central city. The second one called European Cultural Youth House is an regional center for cultural researches, debates, education and EU residential programs and was formed in 2004 in Dazhdovnitsa.  

In the central city Kardzhali the population is mixed – Christians and Muslims, and from past to now live together Bulgarian, Turks, Armenians, Pomaks, Jews, Greeks and Roma people. The rural population of municipality living in 117 mountain villages is completely Muslim and they have got older. In the municipality there are a big number of children and youth who are bilingual i.e. they have to speak Turkish language within their families but have studied Bulgarian in the school. This situation and the cultural isolation produce in general many low-educated people and the low level of skills re-creates from generation to generation despite the fact that young people use the internet and social networks, and adults - not. Literacy, numeracy, science, and technology are the foundation for further learning and are a gateway to employment and their social inclusion. 

The main target groups of KRUG activities are youth, low-skilled adult people and policy-makers. People who are involved in the project are workers and members from the local community centres, trainers in adult teaching, non-formal aged and youth leaders from local communities, people with needs to up-skill identifying during the investigation project phase and youth volunteers.

2nd Gymnasium of Messini

The 2nd Gymnasium of Messini is situated near the capital of Messinia. Although Greece’s  economy is highly based on tourism, Kalamata and furthermore Messini are still considered places off the beaten track.

Messini is a rural town of 4.000 habitants who are mainly living off the land and most specifically by cultivating figs and olive trees. It’s a rather undeveloped touristic city near the sea. In this area live a lot of immigrants, mostly from Albania, Bulgaria and Poland who work mainly in agricultural jobs like harvesting the olive trees. Their offspring attend the local schools and more often than not they are in need of special attention and help.

At the school work a total of 20 teachers and attend 140 students aged from 12 to 15 years old.

Istituto Comprensivo Cena

The Institute IC Cena is located in the territory of Cerveteri, a small town near Rome.  Our school is attended by about 700 students divided between the primary and the secondary school. Regarding ICT, our school has a computer lab with about 14 workstations , about ten interactive multimedia boards and a 2.0 classroom whose project was recently approved for a total of five years.

In the last years the number of residents in Cerveteri has increased significantly and this has contributed to change social and economic aspects of the area. The town in fact has become more heterogeneous. This is reflected in the school through a series of socio-cultural dynamics:

  • Lack of cultural and social landmarks;
  • Increase of foreign people;
  • Presence in the territory of families with economic and social integration difficulties, which require support for education
  • Presence of under skilled adults

In this context of continuous  and radical changes, the school has to be one of the first places to meet and socialize both for students and for families, an opportunity for dialogue between human realities, moral, social and religious often different between them.

For this reason it is necessary to increase the motivation and  the realization of the potential of each person, strengthening the  personal identity, self-esteem and autonomy of the “person”. All this in order to prevent and to reduce the number of under skilled people trying to avoid forms of deviance,  to promote  social integration and participation into our society.

Among the mentioned initiatives, the adoption of the technology interaction and the internationalization of the activities of the school are included. We  have English courses for adult learners to make them more confident and to give them the opportunity to communicate in a different language with other people. We also offer courses of ICT  for elderly people. All the chosen activities  have the aim to make them more integrated in our country and to enable them to be part of the European culture.

Yeni Kuşak Educator Association (partner from 01.09.2015 to 30.04.2016)

"Yeni Kuşak Educators Association" is an association for teachers, school principles, students and families of students. Our association is located in İstanbul and in one of the most crowded municipalities in İstanbul with more than 1 million people. In İstanbul are 17 million people living. As a result of this population there are many problems in our area, which need to be solved. Official centers are never enough to solve these different problems in daily life of citizens. So associations like ours have a very essential role in helping to solve problems.

Families living around us are mostly immigrate from different cities of Turkey for economic and cultural reasons. They have 3-5 children and father and mother have to work to earn enough money for living in a big city. As a result of this they have not enough time to spend with their family. These families have grandfathers and grandmothers in the same hause or nearby. Older people do not have enough possibilities to spend their time efficiently. Because they had been living in villages for all their life but now they have to live in a city life for their family. We can reach these people easily and invite them to our events and activities easily. This will help them to integrate the city life and make them more socialized. 

Our association organise picnics and this is a very important activity because there is not enough green place because of unplanned and fast constructions so people need to go far to reach green areas. We organise some competitions among older people who attend our organisation. There are people from the Black Sea region, Western Anatolia region and all regions of Turkey, so there are different cultures and games around us. This project will be a big opportunity to collect different games all together.

One big point is immigrants from Syria in İstanbul. There are many people immigrate from Syria because of civil war in Syria. They need every kind of help. We are planing to reach these people too.

Math-GAMES - Games And Mathematics in Education for adultS
Compendiums, Guidelines and Courses for Numeracy Learning Methods 
Based on Games
Erasmus+ Project No.: 2015-1-DE02-KA204-002260

 

The project "Math-GAMES - Games And Mathematics in Education for Adults – Compendiums, Guidelines and Courses for Numeracy Learning Methods Based on Games" is producing a compendium and a guidebook in 9 languages, which should give the answer to two main questions while rising numeracy in education: 

1. How can we reduce the number of under skilled adults to promote social integration and participation into our society?

  • How can we increase incentives for adult training by using games?
  • How can we offer tailored learning opportunities to individual learners by using games?
  • How can we provide information on access to the services of adult learning?

2. How can we save traditional and famous games in different countries from a loss?


  1. During the project, the project partners will collect real examples, in which playing traditional games could bring low-skilled people out of isolation and helps participating in our society. In this part the mobility of trainers is necessary. In parts normal skilled people will play these games together with lower-skilled persons. The results are the "Math-GAMES Compendium of Famous Traditional Games", which are books in 9 languages (BG, DE, EN, ES, FR, GR, IT, RO, TR).

  2. After that the partners of the project will prove, how traditional games could be implemented in their learning program for a better understanding, especially for lower-skilled people. The result are the “Math-GAMES Numeracy Learning Guidelines” in 9 languages (BG, DE, EN, ES, FR, GR, IT, RO, TR).

  3. At the third part of the project the project partners will prove by doing and testing during real courses and seminars that playing games between people with different skills assist the social integration and thus traditional games will be saved from a loss by transferring it to other people. The result is a "Math-GAMES Teacher Training Course and Seminar", which is held for the next 10 years in different countries. The e-presentation, the seminar and the teacher training course are published in English.

  4. Finally the "Math-GAMES Testing and Evaluation Report" is published. It is a report about the project, the work, the activities during the lessons, the competitions in schools, the meetings and the evaluation. The Math-GAMES Project Report is published in English.

In total the project gives examples of good practice and hints for creating learning courses for using traditional games with normal and lower-skilled people fighting numeracy. 

At the end of this project “Math-GAMES - Games And Mathematics in Education for Adults – Compendiums, Guidelines and Courses for Numeracy Learning Methods Based on Games" we have produced  9 compendiums and 9 guidebooks, both are available as printed books and e-books, a website, in which we will present all the material, guidelines for a teacher training course and a detailed report about e.g.:

  • A big part with a list of different traditional transnational games (photos, game instructions), which can provide social integration. Traditional games can be board games, card games, role plays, acts, folk games involving dramatics, e. g. but not computer games.
  • A general, more theoretical short part about the theme: “Social integration and participation of lower-skilled people by using traditional games”. It should show learners in adult education, how precious it can be to add games in teaching lessons and offer so tailored learning opportunities to individual learners.
  • Some example of best practice from the participating countries and organizations, how lower-skilled people are socially integrated by using traditional games (photos and description of the activity, place and country, effects on the people)
  • Some example of best practice from the participating countries and organizations, how lower-skilled people is getting information on access to lifelong learning services in the local adult education.
  • A description of the origin of games and their symbolic significance, e.g. games about “capture and release”,  birth, ritual, etc.
  • Interviews of participating people in their homes, care residences, etc. so that a compendium of authentic testimonies is created. 
  • “Games in performance” in front of small audiences of people, who are then given the opportunity to interpret the games and to perform them with the lower-skilled participants on their own, with the participants as audience.
  • Filming, photographing and documentation of parts of the project to upload on our website.
