We, TED Kocaeli High School students, are thrilled to interact with a lovely school like Goyang Global High School. Because of that we want to share our thoughts and wishes with you individually. 

Bilge: ”Dear friends from South Korea, I am sincerely happy that we have the opportunity to have a sister school. Last years video call was really fun. I enjoyed learning about your culture and sharing ours. The articles you wrote were great and it was nice to talk about them. Thank you for the postcards and gifts that you sent. We loved them. I wish this friendship continues for a long time.”

Meltem: ”Dear GGHS students, firstly; I would like to thank all of your gifts, they were marvelous. Your postcards were written with your beautiful hearts, we felt the warmth. I loved the pen most. It’s easy to hold! I hope our schools and us will get in touch for a long time! Loves from Turkey!”

Sude: ”In 21st century being a global citizen is truly significant. That’s why I believe that the opportunity that our schools are given to us is very important. By video calling each other and writing postcards to each other, we are getting effected by each other’s cultures and that opens our way to become a global citizen.”

Joy at TED Kocaeli High School, created by their friends from Goyang Global High School!!!

The students at TED KOCAELI HIGH SCHOOL were  delighted to receive the gift box that was sent by a group of students from Goyang Global High School. They were extremely curious as they opened the contents of the box and expressed their joy as they discovered the different items which all represented an element of the culture and tradition of  the country itself. It was clear that all the gift items were all chosen with care and purpose.  Furthermore, the students at TED Kocaeli College were overjoyed as they read the postcards written by their friends. We surely believe that the cooperation between the two schools  that started three years ago has more years to come, despite the distance between them. This unique project is the result of  successful collaboration and a long lasting friendship.

Hello! We are SCOPE, the global issue club in Goyang Global High School.

On May 30th, We held an foreign culture festival in our school. Several clubs hosted booths with their respective themes. Scopes from the International Task Force hosted a booth named “Walking Tour to Turkey” under the theme of Turkish culture. Memorizing of Turkish numbers were memorized, the Turkish culture quiz, the making of Don Dourma, and the expression of Turkish language in body movements were divided into four cities – Antaly, Kashmir, Ankara and Istanbul – to suit the characteristics. It gave students an opportunity to know what the Turkey is.

Scope held international exchanges with Turkey in April. We had time to write several articles and change them with Turkish schools on various subjects. The topic of the article was the environment, school life, and the relationship between Korea and Turkey in the 1950s. Twelve members of the club divided into three teams and wrote articles. Turkish students interacted by reading our articles and writing new articles on the same subject. School life, education, and student human rights issues in each country and relations between Korea and Turkey in the 1950s were the topics. We tried to find, organize, and complete high-quality writing. The article that came in reply was very informative and interesting, so all the members of the scope were this activity. We hope that we will have another meaningful experience soon.

Hello, my friends!
