Founded in 2010 in Berlin, ARDA Beratung & Bildung (ARDA) is an institute of academy for
education & training. Being accredited by the German National Agency in 2015, ARDA is carrying
out and participating in EU-funded projects in the frame of the Erasmus+ programme by its highly
qualified academic staff since then.
ARDA offers internship opportunities for pupils and students tailored to their interests in close
cooperation with its local and international working partners on an European level. Furhermore, our
institute provides a wide range of courses, seminars, vocational and on-the-job training
opportunities for teachers, engineers, academics and civil society representatives in accordance with
their skills and experience. The services offered comprise the following fields: management,
electricity, job security, informatics, IT, mechanics, engineering, automation, welding, food control,
beauty expertise, skin care, construction, disabled care and the education of handicapped pupils,
nursing of old and ill people, child care, pre-school education, media, textile, etc. ARDA‘s
successfull work results, in the fields of education, sciences, social walfare and culture, ensure
continuous quality and the compotence provided by this organisation.
Through its efforts and activities, ARDA aims not only to further promote the exchange of
knowledge, information and experience on a national and international level, but also an important
contribution to social integration, peace, tolerance and empathy. One of the other objectives of
ARDA is to establish itself as an European institute to support the business and social life processes
of people regardless of their ethnic origin, religion, belief, disabilitiy, age or sexual orientation. The
whole activities will enable ARDA to build a strong friendship and cultural bridge between different
actors, countries, languages and cultures on a global scale. In order to achieve its mission, vision
and goals, ARDA sets high professional and ethical standards, whereby its core values consist of
integrity, honesty, respect for people, tolerance, equality and transparency.
ARDA's staff consists of experienced and educated specialists who always carry out their social and
conscientious responsibilities in their work, and fulfil their duties willingly and effectively towards
our common goals and values. Our working group is made up of five people with different relevant
backgrounds and experiences responsible for carrying out this collabrative project. They bring more
than 20 years of experience in the field of the international education by having worked with
international partner.
In the near future, ARDA will especially be focusing more closely on the following areas by
planning, initiating and carrying out projects, events, programmes and activities in close
cooperation with small and medium sized enterprises, associations, universities, schools,
organizations and municipalities.
ARDA has been involved up to 70 projects in the frame of the Erasmus+ programme since 2010.
Among those projects, ARDA has taken part in five strategic partnership projects and successfully
completed three of them up to now. Two of them are currently going on despite the novel
Coronavirus Pandemic. We were able to gain very valuable experience and expertise in the highly
relevant topic "digitization and digital transformation" while being involved in the KA2 project
named "E-Learning Platform for Medical Informatics to Improve Vocational and ICT Practice (E-
MEDIVIP)“ in 2015 which was developed under the consortium of three universities and ARDA.
The main objective of the project, with the number: 2015-1-TR01-KA202-022634, was to design an
e-learning environment in order to develop ICT skills of health employees trained at different levels
of education, such as at vocational schools of health services, in biomedical engineering and at
medical schools. For that purpose, five different open-source education moduls were created, and a
large number of distance education materials was developed (https://emedivip.com/).
Furthermore, ARDA has succesfully completed another KA2 project named “Creating an
Applicable Curriculum on Occupatıional Health and Safety for Occupational Health and Safety
Professionals” with the number "2017-1-TR01-KA202-045736” in close cooperation with seven
international universities and organisations recently. Within the scope of this project, we were able
to create a curriculum applicable to occupational health and safety for occupational health and
safety specialists, and to develope an e-learning platform and mobile application software which
can give them access to educational courses related to this topic
(http://www.mepohs.com/pages.aspx?s=9&lang=ENG#fuc).
Additionally, we have been involved in a project titled “Discover your Talents and Remove ‘Dis’ in
your Ability“ with the number 2018-1-TR01–KA204-058728 since 2019. In the frame of this
project, ARDA is collabrating closely with four universities and organisations across Europe. The
main goal of this project is to prepare module programmes in order to increase the life satisfaction
of handicapped pupils with the help of digital education and social media tools by creating suitable
e-learning programs. It is important to note that this project had to be interrupted for a certain time
due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, and is still going on. ARDA is curretly participating in two further
approved KA2 projects, numbered 2019-3-TR01–KA205-080194 and 2019-1-TR01-KA204-
077450 and named “HARMONY” and “My Disability is NOT an Obstacle for my Sexuality”
respectively. They are currently continued inspite of the Covid-19 Pandemic.
Our working group is made up of seven people with different relevant backgrounds and
experiences. Mrs. Dr. Işık is one of the key persons of the task force, who has had several years of
experience in project management. As an experienced Erasmus+ coordinator, she has managed
more than 70 Erasmus+ projects up to now. Mrs. Dr. Işık was able to gain meaningful first-work
experience in the field of school and vocational education at “BWK BildungsWerk” in Germany,
whilst she was coordinating the project “the JOBSTARTER initative” supported by Federal Insitute
for Vocational Education and Training (Bundesinstitut für Berufsbildung–BIBB) between 2005 and
2008. The project's central aim was the deepening of relationships between companies, chambers of
commerce and employment agencies in order to create more training places for young people with
an immigrant background, as well as refugees and non-German students and their parents.
In the course of this training structure programme, Mrs. Dr. Işık succeeded in finding apprentice
places for 152 young people in the dual vocational training system and systematically integrating
them into job training, while the BWK BildungsWerk was selected as one the most successful
executive organization among 52 German organizations that carried out JOBSTARTER projects. In
2007, she was selected as the “Woman of the Year” twice in Berlin while organizing and conducting
a broad variety of cultural and social activities as a member of the executive board member and
media spokeswoman for the Football Club Türkiyemspor in Berlin, which at that time played in the
4th Football League in Germany. Mrs. Dr. Işık was also awardad several prizes for the social,
cultural and work activities carried out by her in order to promote the integrity, peace, equality. Dr.
Susam Dündar Isik is also active as a breath transforming life, success and motivation coach and
NLP-coach (neuro-linguistic programme trainer-mind language programme).
Other members of our working group are students and professionals who have PhDs in the field of
natural and social sciences. Our executive team are also represented by Dr. Süleyman Dündar and
Dr. Kemal Isik, both acting as assistant general manager of ARDA, and being responsible for the
implementation of projects. Dr. Dündar graduated from the Berlin Technical University in the
geology and mining faculty in 2004, and received his PhD from the Berlin Free Universtity in the
geophysics faculty in 2012. Dr. Isik obtained his PhD degree in vetarinary medicine in 2006 from
the University of Leipzig. All three members of our executive team have an international academic
background having lived and lectured in higher education in more than one European country. They
all together have attended many international education conferences, successfully managed various
education projects in Germany and Turkey over the years. One of the most important qualities of
them to consider is their ability to speak three languages fluently (German, Turkish and English).
Furthermore, two four staff members reinforce the ARDA team. They have taken part in several
Erasmus+ projects since 2014. Ms. Constanza Alvarez will especially support the working group in
the full and smooth implementation of the main project steps during the execution phase. She is
currently completing her bachelors of science in computer science at the Technical University o
Berlin. Mr. Samuel Willson will be acting as an assistant to the management team and responsible
for maintaining a stable infrastructure. Mr. Willson is currently continuing her study of computer
science in order to obtain her master‘s degree at the Berlin Free University where he already
completed her Bachelor degree. Ms. Gamze Aslan studied psychology at the Berlin Technical
University. At the Berlin Free University, she completed her PhD in developmental psychology.
Mrs. Rose Mukundi Kapunya studied psychology at the Free University of Berlin and also earned
her doctorate in psychology from the Department of Education and Psychology aat the Free
University of Berlin. In order to carry out such project, we will closely work together with
organisations working in the field of psychology and we will receive support from universities, as
well.
