Dissemination Event In Burdur, TÜRKİYE : High Schoolers Talk I

By Bedia TEKŞEN, Ercan Akın Fen Lisesi, Burdur/TÜRKİYE

On March 25, 2026, we, the English Language Teaching Department of Ercan Akın Fen Lisesi—Bedia Tekşen, Nida TÜRKELAY, Hakan SANLI, and Nejla YEŞILOVA—organized a remarkable dissemination event at Burdur Public Library for the eTwinning project High Schoolers Talk I.   



Purpose of the Event

The dissemination event aimed to share the outcomes of our collaborative international project, highlight student achievements, and inspire the wider community with the voices of young learners. By bringing together educators, students, and local stakeholders, we sought to showcase the power of cross-cultural collaboration and public speaking in ENGLISH.

Atmosphere and Participation

The event was marked by an atmosphere of enthusiasm and pride. High school students from Burdur, together with our Lithuanian guest students, presented speeches on diverse topics such as technology, soft skills, future careers, and medicine. Each presentation reflected careful preparation, teamwork, and creativity.

Preparation

In the weeks leading up to the event, the students prepared their speeches using the High Schoolers Talk speech template. This guided framework helped them structure their ideas clearly and confidently, ensuring that every presentation was both meaningful and engaging. The students also followed a dress code for the event, which added to the formal and celebratory atmosphere of the day.

Highlights

  • Student Voices: Participants delivered speeches that demonstrated confidence, clarity, and critical thinking.
  • Communication and Interaction: Beyond the speeches themselves, the event reflected the strong bonds built through prior collaboration. The students had already met the previous week for a rehearsal program, where they shared their speech drafts, discussed their topics, and exchanged ideas. This preparation not only improved their confidence but also fostered meaningful dialogue. They shared the backstage excitement, encouraged one another, and formed new friendships that extended beyond the stage.
  • Community Engagement: Hosting the event at Burdur Public Library allowed us to reach a broader audience and strengthen ties between the school and the local community.

Closing Moments

At the end of the event, all students and their teachers received certificates and gifts as a memory of the day. This gesture symbolized appreciation for their hard work and created a lasting keepsake of the shared experience. The students and the teachers also replied to a survey about the event. The results will help guide future projects and events, ensuring continuous improvement and growth.

Significance

This dissemination event was not only a celebration of student work but also a testament to the value of international projects in fostering communication skills, cultural awareness, and lifelong learning. It reinforced our commitment to creating meaningful educational experiences that extend beyond the classroom.

High Schoolers Talk I continues to empower students to find their voice, collaborate across borders, and inspire others through the art of public speaking.
