1. Digital Citizenship Workshop

Students work in groups to prepare presentations on safe internet use, digital ethics, and online rights. Fun quizzes can be organized using Kahoot! or Quizlet.

2. Cultural Heritage Presentations

Each student or group researches different cultural heritage elements (food, clothing, music, dance) and shares their findings on Padlet. This helps them discover cultural differences and common values.

3. Creating a Collaborative Digital Book

Using StoryJumper or Book Creator, students prepare a digital storybook focusing on unity, solidarity, and citizenship. This can be shared with eTwinning partners.

4. Virtual Debate Club

Students form teams to debate current citizenship-related topics. For example, they can discuss, "Is digital citizenship more important than traditional citizenship?"

5. Solidarity and Aid Campaign

Students develop a social responsibility project for the local community, such as a book donation for a library or a charity campaign for those in need.

6. Peace and Unity Graffiti Wall

A designated school wall or a digital poster created using Canva is designed with the theme "Values That Unite Us." Students add messages reflecting unity, solidarity, and citizenship awareness.

7. Sending International E-Cards

Students create and share digital cards introducing their national holidays with eTwinning partners. Canva or Adobe Express can be used for this activity.

8. Global Citizenship Games

In coding classes, students design mini-games on the theme of "Global Citizenship" using Scratch or Minecraft Education.

9. Digital Citizenship Talk

An expert speaker (local official, academic, or NGO representative) is invited to discuss digital and global citizenship with students.

10. Writing a Joint Manifesto with eTwinning Partners

Students collaborate with their eTwinning partners to create a "Manifesto of Unity and Citizenship," shared on a common Padlet or Google Docs.

These activities will help students learn cooperation, explore different cultures, and enhance their digital skills within the framework of citizenship education.

eTwinning will build on this by encouraging teachers and students to participate in projects on and discussions about inclusion, equality, human rights and democracy during the 2024–2025 school year. The aim is to promote these themes by:

Reinforcing citizenship education in eTwinning projects for teachers and pupils.

Working together and learning about the EU’s diversity and developing a stronger sense of European community.

Teaching and learning about how the EU functions and what it means.

Exploring and discussing diverse applications of European fundamental values and citizenship through direct collaboration with other teachers from different countries.

Developing critical thinking skills and learning how to analyse information from different sources.

Building an active network of teachers committed to promoting active citizenship, critical thinking and European values.

Together, we are strong. ✨
