Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2016 Newsletter -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------During the project, we once again tried to involve experts to learn about cooking, what is more, we tried to present our culture from first-hand experiences: visiting the Christmas fair in Budapest and shooting a video about our customs. Christmas was on even during the holiday: we kept contact in a facebook group where each nation posted photos of traditional dishes from next to the Christmas dining table. Participating countries: 31 European countries Experiences and impressions: Students from each country had to present their home country in a short video and create a poster about it. Once all the posters were created, the videos were hidden in each on the form of QR codes and Aurasma. They were to be placed around schools so that all students could have a look and watch the videos using their mobile devices. The culmination of the project was definitely a meeting with the Czech students where we managed to incorporate the project via a cookie tasting and ingredient guessing competition. What I also liked about this project is that students really took it home: many of them shot cooking videos at home with the help of their family and had a great time presenting some national dishes. Towards the end, we even had the chance to make a digital interview with an Italian student who had eating disorders and answered our questions.
