CULTURAL EXCURSION AND CULTURAL ACTIVITIES
Although it was a training program, cultural visits were accomplished in holidays . Neighbor cities and countries were visited accordingly. Moreover some festivals and sports events were also visited during the program.
CONCLUSION:
Due to seminars and technical visits held within the scope of the project, theoretical and practical information have been reached, on the other hand, opportunity has been found to observe work environments in Germany, properties of plants and structures of organization. Visiting major factories in Germany expanded attendants’ vision. As a result of these visits, comparison could be done between Germany and Turkey. Attendants found the opportunity to observe Germany in all respects and found the opportunity to improve themselves in occupational and cultural aspects. Observing how Germany used remote training and witnessing what kind of technological infrastructure and effect they used and how they used in relevant institutions caused participants to gain new approaches in terms of profession, moreover this environment became very instructive. As a result of this training, they provided the opportunity to see face to face training applied in a foreign country and to evaluate it accordingly. Naturally, their communication with people within the social framework has developed as well. They found chance to be aware of vocational studies carried out abroad . They were informed about how a training is provided for disabled people and whet they have been doing for them.
Besides, an experience has been acquired regarding the operation of Leonardo Da Vinci project process. As further organizations and institutions were also included within the project which we participated as a partner, exchange of knowledge has been provided between people and institutions.
Due to Leonardo Da Vinci program, some prejudices or fallacies within our participants’ points of view regarding western countries have cracked.
