eTwinning “ S.O.S.: Save Our Sea” - Part 7

 


May was a month of intense activity, as we worked on our final products.

We began by compiling a poetic anthology featuring various types of short poems, either celebrating the beauty of the Mediterranean or highlighting some of its problems. To achieve this, we worked in transnational teams, with each school tasked with illustrating poems from the other countries according to the students’ interpretations.


Look at our worksheet, which we shared among all partners:

We also created a virtual exhibition of students’ artworks, created under the guidance of our art teacher, using “treasures” from the beaches, such as shells, pebbles, sticks, and even plastic bottle caps, as a form of upcycling. The goal was to showcase the beauty of our sea.

In addition, we co-authored a transnational story-fairytale about the Mediterranean, aiming to highlight its issues and inspire people to take action. This story was illustrated with the help of Artificial Intelligence tools, with learners providing appropriate prompts.

Eventually it was turned into a video, narrated by AI.

We also held our final online meeting. After the usual greetings, each school sang two songs about the sea or its islands in their mother tongue, offering students a rich experience of cultural exchange and multilingualism. The excitement was palpable, and we said goodbye in an atmosphere full of joy. 


The songs were recorded, and videos were made with English subtitles so that everyone could understand and enjoy them. You can have access to them below:


The eTwinning project showed us what we can achieve when we collaborate, share, and dream together. Even though it has ended, it has left a deep impression on all of us. After all, every ending is simply the beginning of a new creative adventure!
