Using the creations and the diaries made of the
students during the project, the participants created
common products such as a magazine and
an ebook using web 2.0 tools ( Story Jumper,
ISSUU, Kizoa).
They designed smart houses and robots creating a
wonderful world seen by their eyes and according to
their creativity. The younger students had fun using
their houses for the story “The three little pigs”,
helping them to choose the best house to be saved
from the bad wolf.
The most successful results are that our students
met their peers from other European countries. This
helped them to grow up in an atmosphere free from
prejudices and stereotypes. They became tolerant
and open-minded members of the European
community, a new generation of creative and
independent individuals. In other words, they had a
chance for sharing their opinions, inventions and
drawing without thinking negative critiques.
Besides, the better they got to know the other
cultures, the more positively they perceived them.
