respect in students for differences in different
countries' culture.
At the end of the project, we held 5 closing
meetings to share experiences with all partners of
the project. And we created a digital magazine
which eTwinning activities we made on the project
throughout 2016/2017. This is the most important
point of our project.
Finally our project won the National Quality Label
from Turkish NSS.

“Read and Share” eTwinning project -
Anchoring the European idea in the heart of
readers
by Christina Kasinti
After being an active member of the eTwinning
Community for six years, it seemed that the school
year 2016-2017 was my turning point. It was high
time for me to get involved into a ‘different’ project,
an extraordinary project in many respects called
’READ AND SHARE’
https://twinspace.etwinning.net/26198/pages/page
/242303. I will shortly explain what I mean.
When in October 2016 I was invited to join the
‘READ AND SHARE’ project, I was rather reluctant
to do so, feeling really exhausted after my
previous, extremely demanding eTwinning project.
Everything changed when I read the aims and work
process of ‘READ AND SHARE’.I felt absolutely
enchanted and, of course, I said yes! This was a
project focusing on two goals which every teacher
of English would consider, at least, noble; the
promotion of reading and the development of
students’ attitude of active citizenship through the
use of IT tools. But how would these noble goals be
achieved?
Well, READ AND SHARE project is ingeniously
woven around seven Adventures in which the nine
teams that participate are actively involved.
Adventure 1 is creating a logo and voting for the
logo which best expresses the spirit and essence of
our project.

Adventure 2 is reflecting on what a book is and
recording our thoughts in an eBook. Adventure 3 is
the creation and exchange of original bookmarks.
