I, Dilanur Güven, was born in 1997, in Trabzon, Turkey. I was graduated from Affan Anatolian High School in 2015. During my years in high school, I participated in an Erasmus+ Project, created cultural content for it, and went to Poland as an exchange student.

In the summer of 2016, I worked as the group leader of athletes in Gymnasiade School Summer Games, conducted by the International School Sport Federation. In April,2019, I participated in Bread&Roses Youth Exchange Project in Italy which aims to promote gender equality among young people. Described as a charitable person by my peers, I have voluntarily served for the Turkish Red Crescent for 7 years by collecting donations and supplies for people in need all around the world. Currently, I am a senior student of English Language Teaching at Trabzon University.

I actively participated in the board of directors of ELT Club. I am also the founder of ELT Club Radio, which is still hosted by my colleagues. Apart from these, I would describe myself as a considerate, energetic and extrovert person. Additionally, throughout my life, I have always been a democratic person who defends what is right. That is why, as a believer of an equal world, I am determined to take action for a better future, which is fair for people, animals and nature.

Hi Dilanur,

Reading your bio, I was struck by the fact that you went on an Erasmus exchange as a high school student. I hadn't realized that there was an Erasmus program for high school students, although, as I think about it, it makes sense that there would be.

I'm curious if you make use of this experience in your teaching; for example, whether you talk to students specifically about your experiences in Poland, and maybe promote the idea to them that they could do something similar when they are in high school. How do students respond if you bring this up?

Thank you Mr. Snyder ! In practicum,I have never talked about my experiences in Poland. However, It would be interesting enough for students to take their attention immediately. That is why, I will definitely consider it in my next lessons. Especially the unit, Countries and Nationalities would be very appropriate to talk about my experiences in order to create cultural awareness and promote world peace. Also, as you mentioned, the idea of travelling abroad and exploring new cultures would excite and encourage them to create a project.
