My Project Experience – Cultural Bridges with AI
My name is Emir Recai. I am a 6th grade student. I joined the project Cultural Bridges with AI.

I learned new things about other countries.
I used AI tools like DALL·E. It was fun! I made pictures with the computer.
I saw other students’ pictures too. We talked with friends from different countries.

I liked this project very much. It was a good experience for me.

RÜMEYSA SİBER - İLERİ ORTAOKULU : What I learned the most from this project was that AI is not just for robots and sci-fi movies, but it can also create wonders in creative fields like art. I was very impressed by creating visuals with AI inspired by our own culture and then seeing the work of our friends from North Macedonia. My favorite part was the idea of bringing all these works together and creating a virtual gallery. It was like we were building our own museum! What surprised me the most during the project was how simple words can be transformed into completely different and impressive works of art with AI. Thanks to this, getting to know the traditional motifs and geographical beauties of North Macedonia through visuals was a very different experience. At first, the AI tools seemed a bit complicated, but as I got used to it, I felt like I was drawing with a magic pen, which was a lot of fun. If I had to summarize this project in one word, I would definitely say "Inspiring!"

KÜBRA NUR BÜDÜN - İLERİ ORTAOKULU: Hello! I am a 8th grade student and I am excited to be a part of the eTwinning project called "Cultural Bridges with AI". Thanks to this project, I learned to express my culture through art using AI tools and to discover different cultures of other countries like North Macedonia. My favorite activity was creating images with AI; it was so much fun to write descriptions for our own images and see images from other schools. I was amazed by how AI can turn complex words into stunning images and it helped me learn a lot about the traditions and natural beauties of North Macedonia. AI is a wonderful thing.

The “Cultural Bridges with AI” project was much more than an ordinary activity for my students; it turned into a journey of discovery. While transforming their own cultural heritage into AI-supported works of art, they did not only produce visual products; they also redefined who they were, what they belonged to, and what they represented. There was a story, a labor, and an excitement behind each image. Gathering around the same digital table with their peers introduced them not only to the flags of different countries, but also to their feelings, voices and colors. Thanks to these exchanges, they learned to empathize, listen with tolerance and build bridges between cultures. They now look at life not only as individuals who know their own culture, but also as individuals who understand the world better. During this process, as a teacher, I witnessed my students produce not only with knowledge but also with passion. They blended technology with art, culture with communication. Each of them became a content producer, a storyteller. Being part of such a meaningful and transformative project has enriched me professionally. I was inspired, continued to develop and was re-energized by the imagination of my students. The path I walked with them reminded me once again of the most beautiful definition of teaching: learning together, growing together.

Taking part in this project has taught us many valuable lessons. First of all, we improved our digital and creative skills by using AI tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and Veo. Most of us had never used these platforms before, and now we feel confident about integrating them into our learning.

More importantly, we gained a deeper appreciation for our own culture and learned to respect and understand others. Seeing how different cultures can be expressed through modern technology was eye-opening.

This project helped us improve our communication in English, learn how to work as an international team, and develop 21st-century skills such as collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking.

We believe that technology can build bridges – and with AI, we built one made of ideas, stories, and mutual respect.

During the "Cultural Bridges with AI" project, we explored how artificial intelligence can be used to express and share our cultural heritage in innovative ways.

We created AI-generated visuals of local traditions, designed posters and cultural cards using Canva Magic, and brought our national stories to life through animation tools like Kling and Runway.

Students from different countries collaborated on joint digital exhibitions, shared presentations about their cultures, and even built chatbots that could answer questions about local customs and history.

This journey helped us realize that AI is not just about coding and robots – it can be a powerful creative tool for telling our stories in ways that connect people from different backgrounds.

We are proud of what we have accomplished together, and excited to continue using AI for meaningful intercultural communication.

It was a pleasure to be part of this project. All the activities undertaken in this project were interesting for both me and my students. In a completely different way, by using Artificial Intelligence tools, we learned a lot about the history, culture and tradition of others. This project helped me to improve my digital competences, and also to get acquainted with new digital tools and artificial intelligence platforms. I met new colleagues and I hope that we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

🌟 “Cultural Bridges with AI” projesi, öğrencilerimin hem kültürel farkındalıklarını hem de dijital becerilerini geliştirmeleri için eşsiz bir fırsat sundu. Yapay zekâ araçlarını kullanarak kendi kültürel değerlerini sanata dönüştürmeleri onları hem motive etti hem de yaratıcılıklarını ortaya koymalarını sağladı.

🌍 Farklı ülkelerden akranlarıyla iş birliği içinde çalışmaları, onların empati kurma, farklı bakış açılarını anlama ve etkili iletişim becerilerini güçlendirdi. Kendi kültürlerini tanıtırken diğer kültürleri tanıma süreci çok değerliydi.

🧠 Bu proje boyunca öğrencilerim sadece birer katılımcı değil, aynı zamanda düşünen, üreten ve paylaşan bireyler olarak geliştiler. Onlarla gurur duyuyorum. Böyle bir projede yer almak hem öğretmen olarak bana ilham verdi hem de mesleki gelişimime katkı sağladı.
