\"\"<\/a>The 18th year of the International ICT Seagulls Projects was completed despite the negative effects of the pandemic. The main reasons for that were; the \u0130mece Circles (SQC) methodology and the continuing consultancy, in addition to the commitment and hard work of the participating schools. They worked hard and they created miracles in their categories. In the \u201cMiddle School\u201d category of the Seagulls Project, there were three schools (one school from Sri Lanka and two schools from India).\u00a0 Within the \u201cHigh School\u201d category two teams registered, one from India and one from Thailand. On the other hand, two “Community Seagulls” projects consisting of adult volunteers working in non-governmental organizations spread their project time over two years. Project leaders of that adult category shared the reports of their first year, and they are going to start their work for the second year on November 1st.<\/p>\n

This year, for the first time, students from an Indian private school named \u201cBlue Bells High School, Haryana\u201d dedicated their project work to providing technical support to the older members of the community who are having problems with the use of technology in their daily lives due to the pandemic. Thus, a new category they created: \u201cYoung Leaders of the Community Seagulls\u201d. In 2017, a teacher leader of a Sri Lankan Secondary School (Judith Perera) conducted a similar project, regularly teaching English to adults in their villages in support of Sri Lanka’s tourism, and received recognition for her work. Years pass by, and innovative steps appear within the borders of our Project making us very happy and hopeful for the future days of the world.<\/p>\n

I would like to share the project topics and award categories of the teams registered for the \u201cK-12\u201d category in 2021.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"\"<\/a>8 12-year-old students (SQC Dew Drops) from St. Anthony’s College, Sri Lanka, led by their award-winner teacher Judith Perera, set up a YouTube channel to share the sightseeing aspects of the Rakwana region with the community and students at the school. They called it a \u201cVirtual Field Trip\u201d. Their goal was to endear nature, make good use of time, use Covid in a useful business, and promote the natural beauty of their region. Thus, they were given the \u201cMost Interesting Method developed for the Pandemic Days Award\u201d and the \u201cTaner \u00d6zbey Special Award*\u201d given by Y\u0130MEDER due to using technology for a different field and purpose.
