The project was based on the new European Bauhaus: everybody would like to work and study in beautiful, inclusive and sustainable schools. It also dealt with some goals in the Agenda 2030: health and well being, quality education, gender equalities and sustainable cities and communities. The main aim was being able to live this eTwinning experience in this perspective so it was agreed that teachers' and students’ meetings would be held once a month to share this experience as much as possible TOGETHER.
There were 9 teachers and 194 students working together and the places involved were:
ITALY
Lamezia Terme
Pescara
Telese Terme
SPAIN
La Pola Siero
TÜRKIYE
Karesi
Konak
Merkez

We started from scratch so the first thing was introducing ourselves, both teachers and students.
Then we carried out the initial surveys for teachers and students.
In November we held the first teachers' meeting to organize the project activities.
We continued with some or the original ideas and we kept the materials prepared by the students that started the project.
Logos were made in order to create a common one.
We made word clouds about vocabulary related to school in order to create an online exhibition.
We made presentations to compare the school systems of the participant countries. The ideas was to make a quiz about them and use it in the students' online meetings.
We used the forum to discuss three topics:
- MY IDEAL SCHOOL
- A GOOD TEACHER
- WHAT SCHOOL WILL BE LIKE IN 50 YEARS' TIME
In order to celebrate Safer Internet Day, the teams watched videos and read documents so that the students could ask multiple choice questions on the forum so as to create a quiz to play together on online meetings. We chose the topic: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE / VIRTUAL REALITY vs AUGMENTED REALITY.
This is the GAME that came out with all the questions.
This month we met our Arzu's and Rita's students from Turkey and Italy. We played a KAHOOT ABOUT OUR COUNTRIES so we had lots of fun and learnt a lot.
Following the curriculum, the Spanish students had to plan their summer holidays and they worked with the countries involved in the project.
