Dear Friends from the Çankırı Süleyman Demirel Fen Lisesi (Turkey),

first of all I wish all of you a happy New Year 2011! Some days ago I removed a contribution from the front page posted by Murat, but Murat posted it there once again: http://traitdunion-online.eu/cimbarmurat/2011/01/02/sumela-monastery-1/, sending me the following message: ”dear manager;Sümela monastery is very important for muslim and christian people.I inform everyone about this monastery.therefore I can not explain the history of this place your own thoughts.This is not true.also this is a religious culture.we can tell our culture in this site.please you recreate my blog.GOOD WORK…”

What has happened?
* As far as I compared, Murat simply copied the Wikipedia article about the Sümela Monastery, even without mentioning the source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%BCmela_Monastery
* There is no doubt, that the Sümela Monastery is a marvellous and important monument of the Turkish Culture. And wishing to inform the students of other countries about it and to show photos here in ”trait d’union” is okay. But is has to be done by yourselves!
* If you say, that it is not possible for you to make an own presentation about it – sorry: Then let it be!
* This is a students’ magazine and not a platform for (copied) tourist information, however much important the places, towns and monuments are! Imagine all of our members would copy & paste infos about important monuments of their contries here: What would ”trait d’union” become?
* At least you can write a short text about the topic, emphasizing with some sentences its importance for example for you personally (why it is touching you) or for the young people or for intercultural/interreligious understanding (Muslims+Christians) etc. and then simply adding a l i n k to the Wikipedia article about it. For our readers there would not be any loss of information!
* In order to illustrate you own text about this topic you can use some Wikipedia photos, because they are licence-free, but not more!
* The respect of intellectual property rights is indispensable for any journalist work, therefore for ”trait d’union” editors as well!
* Therefore I ask you, Murat, to change this contribution about the lovely Sümela Monastery by yourself within the next days. A totally or almost entirely copied text cannot remain on the front page of ”trait d’union”.

By the way: I am very satisfied by the eagerness and enthusiasm of you Çankırı students! Thanks for all of your interesting postings. Please go on this way!

Best regards,
Lothar Thiel

Dear Turkish friends,

how are you? As you probably know, this year your school will have an exchange with the Liceo Classico ”Properzio” in Assisi (Italy). As I heard there have been some changes at your school (new headmaster, new Comenius coordinator). At this point the coordinators from Assisi, Mrs. Baldelli and Mrs. Pippi, don’t succeed in contacting a responsable person of your school. Or are you still in the holidays? Even if it is so, it would be great, if you could help them. You can write a message on the group wire of the group wire of the Liceo Classico ”Properzio” in Assisi or send a private message to these teachers. Please help to organize this exchange! TeÅŸekkür ederim!!!

Best wishes,

Lothar Thiel
Project Manager
