    The Bridges Speaking the Same Language-The Witness of History; Stone Bridges

    Human beings always unite the separate parts with the intuition innately. Thanks to this impulse thousands of bridges have been built on the Earth. Bridges are not only a physical necessity that they not only tie one continent to another, one city to another, but also blend the residents of the two sides from yesterday to tomorrow, above all from culture to culture. In the first year, we'll focus on the physical aspects of bridges in order to introduce the pupils to existing local, regional and European structures. Guided research projects by small groups of pupils will identify, define and present the physical characteristics of different kinds of bridges. Students will discover the history behind each bridge and share their findings through Power point slideshows. Local photographs, stories, myths, legends and songs will represent each individual culture and language. Pupils will reproduce the bridges through models, paintings and drawings with the aid of local artists to inspire the creative output. The pupils themselves will become a 'human bridge'. The second year will be centered on a more symbolic, approach beginning with an in-depth study of world bridges. Pupils will select certain bridges and reflect on their historical and cultural relevance throughout history. The students' journey begins in ancient times, where they will meet Roman, Seljuk and Ottoman architecture, and charts the gradual progress and changing significance of today's bridges and those of tomorrow. Finally, the open days will provide the opportunity to reunite the work undertaken by students of each participating country and present it in a cohesive, multi-media structure.
