At Kaunas Kindergarten Pelėdžiukas, the project was implemented by teachers Sonata Jonauskienė and Neringa Bartnykienė together with the children of the Geniukas group. Through collaborative learning and creative activities, the children became active members of an international educational community. They participated in online meetings, engaged in creative, STEAM, and coding activities, explored Easter traditions from across Europe, communicated with peers from other countries, and contributed to a range of collaborative international projects.
International meetings and collaborative learning On 24 and 26 March, the first international online meetings brought together young participants from all partner countries. These virtual gatherings gave the children an opportunity to meet one another, exchange greetings, sing songs, and celebrate together despite the distance between them. One of the highlights was the lively Easter Bunny Wiggle dance https:// youtu. be / XFaijUoSv00, which quickly became one of the project ' s most memorable and unifying activities.
The meetings also led to one of the project ' s first collaborative outcomes— the video European Easter Adventures – Easter Bunny Wiggle Collaborative Dance https:// youtu. be / Y9aXqs _ GyUg. During the online sessions, children from all participating countries performed the same dance, and their recordings were brought together into a single video. The final result beautifully reflected the friendship, unity, and teamwork that developed throughout the project, demonstrating that meaningful learning experiences can be created regardless of geographical distance or cultural differences.
Throughout the project, the children explored the countries, cities, schools, and Easter traditions of their international partners. They discovered both the shared and unique features of Easter celebrations across Europe while learning about traditional foods, festive decorations, clothing, and religious customs. Through presentations prepared by each partner school, they virtually travelled across Europe, broadening their cultural awareness and developing respect for different traditions and ways of life.
The project fostered close collaboration, not only among children, but also among teachers. A dedicated public Facebook group https:// www. facebook. com / groups / 15635 43391610580 served as the project ' s main communication and dissemination platform, where partners regularly shared photographs, children ' s work, creative ideas, and project outcomes. The group enabled teachers to stay connected,
