I am very happy to have had the opportunity to work with a great partner from Romania!

I would like to thank this valuable partner from the bottom of my heart for the great contributions he made to both our students and our projects. Thanks to this collaboration, we made significant contributions to our students' self-confidence development, discovery of their creativity, effective use of web 2.0 tools and development of their ability to write original stories by looking at photos. They also gained valuable gains in terms of learning and applying digital rules such as digital literacy and safe internet use.

We actively participated in all our joint products and collaborations, strengthened the digital development of our students and made meaningful contributions to their education.

After this great communication, great work and great project, we will definitely consider doing a similar collaboration again in the future

Our students take photos depicting daily life in the cities they live in and write explanations of the photos in English under the photos. Other students create narratives by adding stories to these photos. They exhibit their work by organizing an online exhibition consisting of all the stories and photos.

Throughout the project, the students made new friends across countries through joint activities, chats, and meetings. The project fostered collaborative work using online platforms like TwinSpace, Padlet, Canva, and social media and strengthened students’ digital competences by having them use web 2.0 tools to create, share, and comment on digital content.

Students have also improved artistic and aesthetic awareness by using photography and creative writing.

They developed language skills through project outputs and they were encouraged to build self-confidence and creative thinking by being active producers in the process.

It was a wonderful experience for my students!
