My thoughts

Starting this project I realized that it’s about a great project with many extensions. I felt that my students would be lead through innovative and creative actions during learning, through empathy and through discovering creativity and responsibility.

The planning of the subject was great from the beginning and excellently structured. Communicating and cooperating with other schools-partners and with all the teachers that participated in the project was very important and it had a major part in the better fruition of the project.

The subjects that our project dealt with, gave us many opportunities to apply innovative activities of creative and experiential learning. The children during all of projects phases, they learnt to make decisions, communicate, reason and betake to creative learning. The way they worked in the project with research and experimenting, prepares them for their adult lives. Through the actions of the project they became responsible for the environment and they developed their cooperation, responsibility and digital literacy skills.

To conclude, I would like to say that I am proud that me and my students participated in the << World Children Council >> and I feel that this project helped me become better at what I do with the children.

Thank you very much for the amazing collaboration!!!

My Thoughts Regarding Our Project

What I loved about the project is the continual use of cooperating and innovative activities. During the long period of quarantine, we still managed to pull off the project, which was structured on-point. My students also think of the project as one of the best they have worked on, so far. During our projects, we carried out many creative and amazing activities that both me and students were fond of. The means of the project helped students realize how important is the need of housing, needs like having water anytime and so on. The water activities moved the students, who saw the kid’s message about the water problems in contents like Africa. The nutritional activities made students realise, through digital games, how important food management is in our life. The last topic we dealt with, concerning game, was one of the students’ favourite activities. They had a great time designing the hopscotch and learning about other countries’ traditional games. I think that we gained a lot of useful knowledge with this project. The communication between teachers and schools was really helpful, and all colleagues collaborated for the best outcome possible. I want to thank everyone who participated in this project!

The project depended entirely on the imagination and cooperation of the children. That's why the process went very smoothly and fun. It was a project that adapted children to distance education, especially during the quarantine period.Children have learned to use both their basic rights and our basic rights. It was full of both educational and instructive activities. They have developed a sympathy for using Web2 tools.Personally, I think that especially children's presentation stages are very productive. Their ability to express themselves and their language skills improved. Same goes for me.

As soon as I read the project plan,I was very impressed an d the idea of building a happy children's town excited both me the students.During my 12 year professional life, I have experienced many exciting events,but being involved in this project with my students gave me a different feeling. Thanks to this project, my students became children who researched,questioned,procuded free products,and most importantly,recognized their own rights and freedoms. They collaborated by communicating with their peers in different countries.They improved themselves by doing activities that prompted them solve their problem situations.Throughout our project,we had a process full of different and entertaining activities.We were really lucky to be in this project,thank you everyone for their efforts.

Our project has been a project where children learn while having fun, as it deals with children's rights, shelter, water, nutrition and play.Our project addressed the problems of the 21st century we are in and taught children how to use the resources of our world efficiently while teaching them their basic rights.With the project, the children gained many skills such as using web 2.0 tools, doing research-inquiry-analysis, empathy, taking responsibility and acting together.The quality of communication between the partners in the project ensured that the project was not interrupted. Our project founders were always open to communication and helpful towards the project partners.I was very happy to take part in this project with the project partners, dear teachers and dear students.

When I read the project plan, I was very excited. I thought it would contribute positively to the development of children. When we started to implement the project, children learned about their rights and freedoms. They noticed the children experiencing negativity in the world and sought solutions. Searching for solutions improved my children's problem-solving skills and creativity. Designing a happy village improved my children's creative thinking skills. Taking part in this project improved my profession in a positive way.

The World Children's Council is an eTwinning heart project made by children for children. The children were concerned with their rights which are the rights of all people, Housing, Water, Food and Game. My students felt that are active members of a Council that imagined, designed, decided, organized and created a world happy and safe for children, a world with a home, clean water, food and playgrounds. The students were organized into mixed groups of collaborating schools that researched each topic, took initiative, made decisions, experimented, proposed solutions, collaborated and created original collaborative products useful for children. The teachers of the project collaborated in mixed groups coordinating its topics in a spirit of inspiration and friendship. My students enjoyed our participation in the project with joy, cultivated cooperation and communication skills, gained experiences and developed real empathy for the problems of the children of the world. Μy students and I feel happy that we participated in this dreamy project, that we collaborated with this wonderful group of students and teachers from schools in Greece, Turkey, Serbia and Spain in an atmosphere of friendship and creativity. World Children’s Council, thank you for the experience!!! Our beloved etwinners friends, thank you for the cooperation and friendship!!!

The happy children's village project that we implemented with my students has contributed a lot to me and my students.When starting the project, my students were very happy to get their ideas on what kind of village they would like to live in, and then to have interviews with different children in the school.it was very enjoyable to design new products by imagining and to share them with children in different countries.It was extremely exciting to show this project where the child was at the forefront.The feedback from the parents of the students was extremely positive.The communication and harmony between the teachers was very good. Our project founders guided and coordinated us very well.Products using the web, products obtained by using our continuous project, and products using the web that emerged with lots of visuals attracted the attention of children and we used them a lot.I am very happy to be a part of this project

When I saw the project plan, I shared it with my students. They stated that they wanted to take part in this project. From the beginning to the end of the project, the children worked of their own free will. They took part in group work. Communication and collaboration studies were fruitful for both partners and students. The evaluations we made at the end of the activities gave us an idea about how we should proceed. The events also provided compliance with the distance education process. I would like to thank all the partners I have worked with and the children who are the main architects of this project.

When I read the project, I explained it to my students. I had done a study on children's rights with my students before. The children were very excited when they heard that our project is a plan to establish a village for the rights and happiness of children living in different countries of the world. The things that make me and my children the happiest in the project; To create collaborative joint products, to work to support the development of creative thinking skills, to make democratic choices of students at every step of the project and to actively participate in decision-making processes, to create foreign language awareness, to support the constant sense of curiosity about the project subjects and to explore in my children, to be in a good mood. constantly communicating with our partners, receiving trainings, learning new things from each other, actively using web tools with my students. The evaluations we made at the end of the topics showed us how to proceed in the next stages, and the children freely expressed themselves at every stage of the project. Our project work has been continued in harmony with the distance education process. I would like to thank all our partners with whom we worked on our project and our children, the heroes of our project.

The Children's Council project ended with many beautiful memories. Personally, I consider it the best project I have taken part .It combines interesting topics with clear and child-centered goals, original, interdisciplinary and collaborative activities, very good organization of the twinspace and activities, excellent communication and cooperation of all educators!The project managed to keep undiminished the children's interest in the classroom and in distance education.The children concerned their rights to housing, water, food and play. The students were organized into mixed groups of collaborating schools and researched, took initiatives and decisions, experimented, proposed solutions, collaborated and created original projects.Many congratulations to the founders of the project and thank you everyone for the beautiful collaboration!

We have successfully completed our project, which we started with great enthusiasm. Especially our students actively participated in every stage. Our parents took part in the work of the students at all stages of our project during the distance education process due to covid 19. They are equipped with different knowledge, skills and awareness in every subject. I congratulate our project partners and students.
