Given the specificities of the project, this will be a multidisciplinary team. The main person to run the project will be the project coordinator, Canan Karadere, and has already coordinated Erasmus+ projects along with various e-twinning projects. The teachers who are part of the team that will implement the project are also involved in these projects at the school and some even at the regional level, as it replicates their work in schools in the region The school wants to join this project for two main reasons: its internationalization process and
