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. Merve Akyol Kılıç lives in Istanbul, Turkey.

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. 83
