SAMSUN PUBLIC ADULT EDUCATION CENTER is a public institution, a unit of Samsun National Education Directorate, located in Samsun, Turkey. In our adult education center different types of courses are offered to people regardless of their age, educational level, sex, religion, ethnicity, or language. These courses target people who did not have the educational opportunity or left their education at any level. Our aims are to support to complete their education and encourage them to gain current skills needed in social life. In addition to vocational skills, courses and seminars about social and cultural knowledge is also provided to course participants.
Samsun Adult Education Center offers three types of courses and seminars:
1 - Literacy Courses: These courses provide basic literacy skills to people who are illiterate or people who did not complete their mandatory schooling. Upon completion of the courses participants receive a GED (graduate equivalent degree) diploma.
2 - Vocational and Technical Courses: The main objectives of these courses are to provide vocational skills and knowledge and improve their capabilities. Two types of vocational courses are offered:
a) Skills development courses: These courses provide participants with basic skills to improve their life quality and effectively manage their spare time. Examples of these courses include parenting courses, handcrafts courses, etc.
b) Vocational courses: The course curriculum includes the following topics: technical information, work safety, productivity, entrepreneurship, and customer service. Examples of these courses include computer assisted accounting, hairdressing courses, furnaceman, ready-to-wear clothing courses, and fabric dying courses.
3 - Social and Cultural Courses: These courses aim at providing course participants the skills to become successful in their social relationships, to prepare them for job applications, and have them engage in sports and social activities. Examples of these courses and activities include sports activities, socialization meetings, music, and dance.
The institution wishes to enhance and develop European and global awareness and citizenship in adults living in our town and also to encourage intercultural dialogue, tolerance, respect and understanding within the evolving local community. It wishes to give opportunities to establish communication links across Europe and to develop friendships with adults from other European cultures and traditions. It wants to foster partnership with newer European countries. This is an important time for Turkey as it debates internally and externally the value of being a member of the European Union. Engaging is a project such as this is of major importance for a region such as NE Turkey. There are many underlying issues and some very powerful forces that influence the debate about future direction of the country. Thus engaging local people (as compared with metropolitan professionals etc) in participation in a project such as this, which allows focus on an important issue, is an important activity for the city and area. The creation of a European partnership in which to develop this work adds a value that could not be attained working in isolation. The opportunity for local people to travel and have, through the processes of the project, increasing contact with others in Europe will enormously enhance the value of the work.
