@Grade4English @sustainablefs14 @SDGaction @cleanclothes @Fash_RevSg @bitesizeSDGs @SDGsInSchools @FollowWestwood Such a cool idea Lea and Yasemin. We should really think about how we can transform old clothes into something new - I’m on board for this and would love to learn how to sew my own clothing.

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

@Grade4English @SDGaction @greentravel @greentransprt @GreenTransit @SDGsInSchools @bitesizeSDGs Such an amazing idea, Kerem. I’d love to chat to you about this idea a little more. I genuinely believe you can make a massive difference in Istanbul. Maybe collaborating with other schools could make your project even more effective.

[İstanbul ENKA Okulları @EnkaOkullari]

Dünya Engelliler Günü sebebiyle ENKA İlkokulu 4. sınıf öğrencileri okulumuzdaki engelli işaret ve levhalarını yeniden tasarlayarak yeni işaretler oluşturdular.
Bununla birlikte tek kollarını kullanarak yaptıkları basketbol maçında engelli bireylerle empati kurmayı amaçladılar.

It's truly inspiring to witness the transformational impact of changemaker students like Miray S and the collective efforts within the school. She is so fortunate to have a supportive mentor as @MrPorter009

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

It was such an incredible journey. Was fun unpacking ideas together and watching this all unfold into the great success that it did. My highlight was Miray questioning management about how we use bins at our school and showing her passion by challenging them to do better.

[ENKA Grade 4 @Grade4English]

Miray S (now Gr. 5) addressed recycling inefficiencies during her PYPx project in Gr. 4, proposing color-coded and labeled bins for improved awareness. This week, our school supported her, painting and labeling the rest of the bins across our Primary, Middle and High Schools.

In accordance with our theme for December, #SDG10 Reduced Inequalities, @EnkaOkullari has followed in @Decathlon’s footsteps by designing #AbilitySigns. Students in our primary school have created their own designs. Next step, replacing disabled logos with new inclusive signs.

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

International Day of Disabled Persons was celebrated on the 3rd of December 2023. To raise awareness and to understand in the slightest how challenging it is, ENKA had basketball matches using only one arm. It was an exceptionally challenging experience with many falls! #sdg10

You know you’re doing something wrong when this happens at your school. Gotta keep the passion alive and burning by listening to their ideas and giving them a platform to step on and take action.

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

Such an important reminder. I believe in this 100%. Get to know your kids, allow them to get to know you, build trust, build understanding and then, once you have a relationship with them, teach them. Well said @trev_mackenzie

[Trevor MacKenzie @trev_mackenzie]

Teacher friends, a kind reminder as many schools kick of their year:

Relationships first. Productivity second.

You have to Maslow before you Bloom.

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

Such an awesome logo Ipek! I can see how much thought and effort went into creating it.

[ENKA Grade 4 @Grade4English]

This our 3rd logo created by one of our Grade 4 students; İpek C. It focuses on the beauty of nature and the importance of #climatechange . Did you know that we’ve lost around 28 trillion tons of ice since the mid-1990s?

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

When my students share their own messages about #racism based on our discussions around stereotypes, prejudice and discrimination, it makes me really proud 🥹 @EnkaOkullari

[ENKA Grade 4 @Grade4English]

This is a beautiful message from Aden S about racism. #reducedinequalities #SDG10 #standuptoracism

[Ryan Porter @MrPorter009]

So proud of you Aden and Ipek! Don’t stop here, this is just the beginning.

[ENKA Grade 4 @Grade4English]

Aden S and Ipek C wrote a very detailed email to the administration at our school about our #plasticwaste and #paperwaste in the cafeteria. We received their response which can be seen below.
Who said children can't make a difference? #worldchangemakers #nomoreplastic #inspired

[Berna Aslan @NBernaAslan]

In our #ATC24 session,we talked about how #SDGs and continuous provocations encourage students to take more meaningful and intentional action. @MrPorter009 #studentagency #ATC2022 #SÖS2022 #GlobalGoals @EnkaOkullari

[ENKA Grade 4 @Grade4English]

Grade 4 students, Neslihan T, Deniz H, Delfin G, Nazlı Y and Leyla S want to raise awareness on #DiversityandInclusion by wearing mismatched shoes and socks. They dare to be different and encourage everyone to express themselves in any ways they want to! #SDG10 #TakeAction
