Is There Anyone Hearing Me?!
“Is There Anyone Hearing Me?!” is a
multilateral partnership school project,
approved and financed by the European
Commission within LLP, the Comenius
subsectoral programme, and brings
together six European schools from
Turkey, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria,
Spain, and Greece.
The variety of schools involved in the
project reflects the diversity within the
European Union.
It is a clear fact that there is nowhere to
live but Earth and the careless human
beings have severely depleted the world
of its natural resources. We,the partners,
know this fact. Earth calls for our help,
and our partnership will give an answer
to this call. Thanks to this partnership,
we can reach a lot of people from
different cultures, from different countries
and raise their awareness of
environmental problems. And by using
education and applying the problem

solving method to environmental
education, we will have achieved the
aim of this partnership.
Moreover,partners will see each
others’ countries,people,cultures and
eleminate their bias towards one
another and brotherhood will be
established among partners. Of
course, we are six partners and each
of us has different life
styles,economical and educational
advantages and so the lower ones will
take examples from the upper
ones.The last but not the least
important area of our concern with
this partnership is that each country
has a chance to see their partners’
educational curriculum,and if there
are differences and plus points,they
can use them in their syllabuses .
Shortly, our partnership sets up
bridges among different cultures and
shows the world that we are similar
and we all need to do something for

Objectives of the Project1.We regret to say that our world has become a rubbish dump. World needs our help! It is calling us .Through this project we want to answer back to this wake up call and to let the people know about it. In short, we want to make people pay attention to us. This waking up will begin with us, then spread to as many people as we can reach. (From class to world)2.The second aim of our Project is to raise people’s awareness of the existence of severe environmental problems and, by getting involved in the project activities, to let young generation struggle for their world and their future. That is,we will have shown that we cannot be silent to environmental contamination, pollution and depletion.3.The third aim is to ensure access to information on the protection of the environment and thus the students will be more concerned and preoccupied with this burning issue.

4.The next objective is to promote the most efficient measures that can be taken in order to protect the environment, the reduction of pollution levels both at the local level and at the international level.

We can discover “the team spirit” and show how different cultures work together for their future. In short, we want to be an example for other nations. 6.Promoting the study of the English language is another objective. The cooperation between the students and the teachers involved in the project will lead to the improvement of both the productive and receptive skills;7.Another aim is to foster learning through cooperation and to improve knowledge concerning the computer skills and the
