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.
