Students from 7th Primary school of Thebes in Greece
Teachers: ΕΙΡΗΝΗ ΜΑΤΣΑΓΓΟΥΡΑ, ΜΑΡΙΑ ΠΑΠΑΧΡΗΣΤΟY
Students in mixed, transnational teams participated in our third collaborative activity, titled "PLANTS' SECRETS." In this activity, students explored plants from various geographical areas, uncovering their hidden beauty, cultural symbolism, and lesser-known facts.
The activity included three main steps:
1.Untold Stories about Plants
2. Yuri's Art
3. Let's Discover Plants
1. "Untold Stories about Plants" – The Online Magazine
Each participating school researched a unique plant native to their country and wrote a short article (1–2 pages), including a photo and information about the plant—such as its symbolism, benefits, superstitions, or curious stories.
These articles were collected and published in a collaborative online magazine created with Canva, titled "Untold Stories about Plants" :
2. Yuri’s Art – Drawing with Augmented Reality
In the next stage, students from other partner schools read the articles and illustrated the described plant using Yuri the Painter Coloring Sheets “Yuri the Painter”, which were then brought to life through the Quiver Augmented Reality app.
All students creations were added to the collaborative digital book with the help of the Book Creator application:

This activity allowed students to combine creativity with digital technology while learning about nature.
3. Let’s Discover Plants – A Collaborative Kahoot Game
To complete the cycle of sharing knowledge, the third school in each team created interactive questions based on the articles they read, contributing to a collaborative Kahoot quiz game titled “Let’s Discover Plants.” This innovative and collaborative task not only enhanced digital, artistic, and linguistic skills, but also promoted environmental education and intercultural understanding among students.
