    Our district is about 35 km away to Istanbul. Our district was established in 2008. The population of the district is about 215 000 . Arnavutköy is one of the green districts of İstanbul.  It has taken the migration from other cities of Turkey. Its people came from rural areas. Therefore, the level of education is low. 

    Our municipality gives importance to fuse different cultures  to social projects.  Our district plan is renewed. Major projects are planned for our district. The world's 3rd largest airport project is been doing. Arnavutköy within the next 5 years will be one of the new centers of İstanbul.

    Amposta is a small town in the South-East of Catalonia. It has about 22 thousand inhabitants and it lies about 150 km from Barcelona and about 150 km from Valencia. The economy of the town was mainly based on agriculture, and it has still an influence on its economy.

It covers 367,729 hectares and includes the delta and watershed of the Ebro River, which is Spain largest river in terms of volume. It has a large number of different ecosystems ranging from inland to coastal areas.

    Our school, Institut Ramon Berenguer IV, is a secondary school with around 700 students aged from 12 to 18. The social background of our students is varied although in the last years the effects of the economical crisis has affected a large number of families.

    Our students attend classes in the morning from 8.30 to 15 h. In the afternoon most of them have different activities, mainly sporty and musical (the town has a long musical tradition).

    Employment in the  town is a clear reflection of what is going on in the rest of our country. Families are going through a difficult situation and this fact  has a direct effect on the relationship with the school.
