By participating in this program I have gained a fantastic experience. I met new collaborators who together shared ideas, experiences, views and methods and came into contact with different cultures. I have learned educational tools useful in my educational project. I thank all the partners for this amazing work that we created because we believe we have managed to strengthen the value of peace in our students' consciousness.

I started this project in September with my two classes. I was interested in this subject ad I 've just worked with Belgin in the past. In my school all my colleagues Lucia, Barbara and Giulia have been working with me to realize activities. Pupils participation was enthusiastic: sharing ideas, collaborating with other friends from different schools from Europe, making a lot of different and involving activities, using new digital resources and tools... made their experience significative and unforgettable. Parents love the project too and collaborate with teachers to achieve good results. As a teacher I have to say that pupils learned a lot about peace. This project is a great opportunity to open their mind to new experience and to learn with other European friends. Partners school collaborate in fantastic way, all the teachers are really hard working and well prepared, I my view we were a great team. Thank you to all colleagues, thank you dear friends!

From September of 2016 our kindergarten participate in the project DEFENDERS OF PEACE and had the chance to co – operate and work with schools from Europe. From the first time students seemed that they enjoyed the project especially when they had the idea to create the suitcase of Peace. Expressing their creativity managed to unit all the participated schools to work in the project with fun and active ways.

Teachers were in continuing communication using tools of eTwinning platform, mails and social media presenting the activities and at the same time they exchange ideas making more interesting their pedagogical methods and their everyday teaching. Social media helped us a lot to create and share co – operative activities and creations as the comic book etc. More over we enrich our knowledge about the sensitive subject of human rights and peace and we saw many similarities through schools. On the other hand the project helped us to succeed a very good school climate which is important for a class to work in pairs and in teams following values that brings Peace in human relationships.

Parents were also very enthusiastic about the project and they liked the presentations and they were proud to see their children to present their work and to be actively in the whole process of the project.

Hello!
My children (5th Primary School of Rhodes - Greece) and I have had a really great pleasure to take part in this project.
As a founder , I  proposed  the  project plan (https://twinspace.etwinning.net/files/collabspace/4/64/864/22864/files/bb11a871a.pdf) with the other founder Belgin from Turkey.  My partners contributed with their own suggestions, ideas. By consultation and negotiation with partners, we modified and  improved the plan, according to the curriculum of each level  and country (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1aAFLG3WDpB7HjoQ0PjFfCOsSH30_sSYmyRbjDTmkNxg/edit).
Participating students  collaborated  very well and for me it was a fantastic experience!!! While we are coming to the end of the project I want to thank to all of members.

Peace is based on universal values of respect for life, liberty, justice, solidarity, tolerance, human rights and equality among people.
With this project children a)cultivated culture of a culture of peace through education, peaceful coexistence, mutual respect, solidarity, cooperation and democracy, b)Distinguished the concepts of peace-violence, clarification of the concept of peace and its features, c) Learned about human rights and d)Cultivated empathy and emotional awareness acquisition.

As a closing activity, our students had the chance to communicate through Twinspace. We talked about peace and we changed whises.

In class we used a projector and a laptop to present all the project activities and discuss about them. Also the students used the school computer lab and their own computers at home. Some of them even submitted the posters they created by sending them over to me by email. They also used online tools (edu.glogster.com, pizap.com, animoto, flipsnack, prezi, padlet, youtube, vimeo, Movie maker, voki, wondershare).

Both students and parents were enthusiastic about the project and their comments were very positive. Pupils made new friends and cooperated with them and they got a different attitude towards the English language course. They saw that it is interesting to use a foreign language to communicate, even if you don’t feel so 'safe' about your knowledge of it.

Thank you all for this great collaboration!

It has been my first time on etwinning and thanks to this project I think I will go on working in such a way.
I think that such a work is the best way to improve our competences as teachers and our students' abilities. I have noticed that children from different ages and from different levels can work on it in the best way.
At the beginnign of the school year I proposed the project to the whole Institute, from Pre Primary to Primary and Secondary School, and it was well accepted.
First my collegues, non etwinners,  were a little afraid to start such an adventure, then with my help they have worked very well and now they are ready to go on working on etwinning projects.
My role has been that of coordinating all the non etwinners  and keeping communication between them and the foreign partners.
It has been a very busy experience but also a FANTASTIC way to communicate with people from different cultures and exchange information.
Thanks to everybody from Italy!

Our teams from all schools were so strong to work hard.We took the power to eachother. We motivated to eachother too.
I worked with a great pleasure with this work with these teams. Thans all. Love from Turkey
