Happy eTwinning DAY!

 

 eTwinning Day Celebrated with an Interactive Presentation!

Deniz Dişçioğlu MEV Ankara College Türkiye 

On May 9th, in celebration of eTwinning Day, our 7th-grade students who participated in the Every Plant Tells a Story project gave a fun and engaging presentation to our 5th and 6th graders in the school conference hall.

During the presentation, the students explained what eTwinning is all about, how they made friends from different schools across Europe, and what they learned through their collaboration. They emphasized the importance of friendship and teamwork, sharing how working together with international partners helped them grow both socially and academically.

They also talked about the activities they carried out during the project and the digital tools they used along the way. From designing creative materials to working on collaborative tasks, they shared their favorite moments and achievements.

To make the day even more fun, they played a rebus puzzle game, with each puzzle designed by a different partner country. The activity was both entertaining and thought-provoking, allowing the students to engage with the project in a playful way.

It was a joyful and inspiring day for everyone involved, and a wonderful example of how eTwinning brings students together through meaningful and creative learning experiences.

 

PLANTS' LEGENDS - The fifth collaborative activity | 7th Primary school of Thebes in Greece

Students from 7th Primary school of Thebes in Greece

Teachers: ΕΙΡΗΝΗ ΜΑΤΣΑΓΓΟΥΡΑ, ΜΑΡΙΑ ΠΑΠΑΧΡΗΣΤΟY

Our sixth-grade students collaborated in mixed transnational teams with peers from various European schools for the fifth collaborative activity, titled "PLANTS’ LEGENDS".

The aim of this activity was the creative exploration of plant legends through innovative and artistic activities that foster imagination, collaboration, and deeper learning.

LEGEND OF MY FAVORITE PLANT

At the beginning, students voted via Google Forms and selected the 19 most beloved plant legends.

Then, each transnational student team chose the legend they wanted to explore in depth, under the coordination of four teachers per legend. Each of the 19 legends was approached through the following creative and technology-enhanced activities:

1. TEXT PLANT LEGEND – writing the text of the legend

2. PLANT LEGEND DRAWING – illustrating the legend through drawing 

3. AI PLANT LEGEND DRAWING – creating image with Artificial Intelligence (AI using Canva) about the legend

4. AI VIDEO PLANT LEGEND – creating an Artificial Intelligence (AI using DEEPBRAIN) video about the legend

AI VIDEO PLANT LEGEND:

Our Students created an Artificial Intelligence (AI using DEEPBRAIN) video about the legend of the Daffodil, which was written by a partner school from Turkey .

Students created an Artificial Intelligence (AI using DEEPBRAIN) video about the legend of the olive tree, which was written by a partner school from Italy.

AI PLANT LEGEND DRAWING

Students created images with Artificial Intelligence (AI using Canva) about the legend of CHERRY BLOSSOM plant, which was written by a partner school from Bulgaria.

Students created images with Artificial Intelligence (AI using Canva) about the legend of LAVANDER plant, which was written by a partner school from Turkey.

The final outcome of the activity was a beautiful collaborative digital book entitled "PLANTS’ LEGENDS", created using Book Creator, where each legend is presented through the four activities above.

Students from across Europe joined forces to mark Safer Internet Day (SID) 2025 with a creative and meaningful collaborative activity titled "SID Celebration."

The goal was to raise awareness about online safety and responsible internet use through coding, art, and digital collaboration. The activity included the following parts:

1. SID Poster 2025

2. Code Week Event 2025

3. Internet Health and Safety (Optional Activity)

1. SID Poster 2025 - Offline Coding for Online Safety

Each partner school was assigned a letter, number, or symbol from the slogan "BE RESPONSIBLE! SAFER INTERNET DAY 2025!"

Students designed and decorated their assigned character on an A4 grid/maths sheet, using their own unique style, colors, and creativity. 

These individual designs were then uploaded to a shared Padlet wall:
