“ studios”, the puppet hosts added humour, transitions, and commentary that tied the entire series together.
This innovative format – correspondentstyle reporting combined with puppet-led narration – resulted in a unique fiveepisode series that was multilingual, engaging, and highly relatable to the students’ age group.
The project culminated in Europe Day celebrations, where students contributed posters, videos, and reflection pieces to a digital showcase called“ The Tree of European Values.” These submissions revealed how deeply the project themes resonated with the learners.
Students practiced voice acting, scriptwriting, set design, digital editing, and cross-cultural communication— all within one project.
A lasting impact: knowledge, identity, and belonging By May, the episodes were finalized and shared via TwinSpace, school websites, and virtual screening events. Students presented their work in online gatherings, discussed the production process, and reflected on their learning.
Evaluation data showed clear growth in students’ digital skills, language use, teamwork, and awareness of European topics. More importantly, many students expressed that they now saw themselves as part of a broader European story— not just as citizens of a country, but as participants in a shared future.
From idea to inspiration: Why European Voices truly matters European Voices was not just an educational activity— it was a celebration of youth agency, a reinvention of civic learning, and a bold experiment in making complex topics deeply accessible to students. It demonstrated that when students are given voice, trust, and tools, they create more than projects— they create meaning.
By inviting learners to become reporters, scriptwriters, and puppet-makers, the project moved far beyond traditional classroom instruction. It encouraged young people not only to learn about Europe, but also to interpret, question, and creatively retell its story in ways that mattered to them and their peers. This shift— from passive knowledge consumption to active meaning-making— is what gave European Voices its power and sustainability.
