Erasmus Voices: Young Minds, Big Dreams

As Atatürk Secondary School, we are excited to celebrate Erasmus Days 2026 with our event “Erasmus Voices: Young Minds, Big Dreams,” which aims to give our students a voice and encourage them to share their thoughts, ideas, and dreams.

As we begin our Erasmus+ journey, our students will take part in interactive peer interviews within a specially designed Erasmus Days photo frame. Through questions about the Erasmus+ Programme, European countries, cultural diversity, foreign language learning, international friendships, and future aspirations, students will have the opportunity to express their opinions and discover new perspectives.

The main goal of our event is to help students develop essential 21st-century skills, including effective communication, active listening, critical thinking, questioning, self-expression, and respect for different viewpoints. We also aim to raise their intercultural awareness, encourage curiosity about different cultures, and highlight the importance of foreign language learning in connecting people across borders.

By interviewing one another, students will not only become more familiar with Erasmus+ but also discover the value of cooperation, cultural diversity, mutual understanding, and shared values. Through this experience, we hope to inspire them to develop a broader perspective on Europe and the world, express their dreams with confidence, and recognize the opportunities that international collaboration can offer.

With “Erasmus Voices: Young Minds, Big Dreams,” we believe that every student’s voice matters. Our aim is to create an inspiring learning environment where simple questions can lead to meaningful discoveries, shared ideas can build new friendships, and young minds can dream beyond borders.

Because big dreams begin with young minds that dare to speak up!
