An innovative project initiated by a Turkish school aims to enhance humor and communication among students. Collaborating with institutions across Turkey, Italy, Poland, and the Czech Republic, the project focuses on understanding jokes and their cultural implications. Through workshops, students engage in learning about humor's diverse nature and develop language skills. They address sensitive topics and learn the significance of appropriateness in jokes. The initiative fosters friendships and cultural exchange while making learning enjoyable and interactive.
