information in TwinSpace (through the texts,
images and videos).
Afterwards, each country organized a date to play
all the shared games (between the 23rd April and
the 3rd May), involving the school or educational
community, divulging, this way, not only the
project but also games of the European traditional
patrimony. Each country still tried to proceed to the
“live sharing” of the performance of the games in
its respective school, either through small videos
that were being made, or through the photo and
comments publishing, with recourse to the Padlet,
an utilization that seemed us innovative and
motivating:

timely disclosure – in the virtual space of the
project – of all the processes of work development
and a concerted accomplishment of the
collaborative tasks, essential strategy in the
motivation of the students, who like “immediate”
feedback regarding the process in which they are
involved / tasks they perform. The videoconference
they had the chance to participate was a very
significant and privileged moment of communication
for the partners.
Thereby, the partners were able to follow up the
performance of the games in the different countries
over those days.
The students also had the possibility of voting in
their favourite traditional game, using the Tricider:

Also very interesting was the document
collaboration in order to find out in which countries
are also played the games initially presented as
belonging to a given country (discovery of a
common heritage):

(common heritage).
The commitment of all the partners highly
contributed to the success of the project: eight
schools, of five countries, with the curiosity that
some of the teachers participated in an eTwinning
project for the first time, and all of them truly
committed to its success. There was mutual aid,
positive reinforcement, recognition of each others’
work. There was emotion in the overcoming of
some students, many of them with physical and
cognitive limitations.
There were tears in the eyes when watching some
photos and videos. There was union and shared
achievements, carriers of joy and hope in a more
fraternal and humanized world. To a better work
management, the partners created a collaborative
systematizing document in Google Drive:

We can also say that there was a continuous
exchange and sharing of information among all, a
After finishing the tasks, we started the process of
dissemination through the collaborative production
of a final product, with recourse to Canva, a digital
magazine to good practice dissemination and in
educational context, and to disclosure and
promotion of a side of the European Cultural
Patrimony: the Traditional Games. You can read our
digital magazine here:
