Furthermore, we created international student
teams across partners’ schools. International teams
worked collaboratively to create Scratch projects
(games and animated stories about e-waste
development life cycle), Canva infographics (e-
waste management and e-waste impact of Human
Health) and environmental digital stories using the
tool “Storybird”.
All projects were the result of the collaboration
between the international teams. For the Scratch
project, before beginning the coding process, the
teams exchanged their ideas, collaborated through
a shared Google document and decided together on
the main scenario (places, characters, actions).
When one school finished, the Scratch project was
ready to be remixed by the next school. For the
Canva projects, they used the discussion section of
their twinpage to decide the subjects of their
posters.
For the Storybird project, they wrote beautiful
stories in both native and English language about e-
waste and the environment. Each team had to
continue freely the story the previous team had
written. There was no preconceived scenario, so
each team had to improvise to continue the story.
Active citizenship is also about being digitally active
and able to function in the digital world. Digital
skills are more than ever needed and students must
learn how to be safe online, so we also took part in
the Safer Internet Day with various activities. Safer
Internet Day activities were also the result of
collaborative work. Cristina Mato from Spain
prepared a presentation about understanding
consent in a digital world and the online
questionnaire. Georgia Lascaris from Greece
initiated the creation of a collaborative audio
message involving Greece, Turkey, and Croatia
about e-safety to be broadcasted on the European
School Radio. Furthermore, students from Croatia
created and shared a Canva poster on English with
advices about the need to wipe personal data from
the devices before donating or recycling them, to
be translated in other languages (mother tongue).
Many schools participated in the eTwinning Day
2019 celebration and in the eTwinning group Spring
Campaign. Students traveled through the eTwinning
Galaxy, discovered the five planets and created
their own posters. The work of several schools
participating in this project has been highlighted on
