Our new eTwinning journey
for the 6th grade (St1) began
in October with a strong spirit of
collaboration and discovery.
“Hidden
Voices, Stolen Minds!” is a project designed to
help students discover women who made major contributions to science, art, literature, medicine, and many other fields,
yet were overshadowed -or even erased- by history. The project aims to raise
students’ awareness of gender equality,
bringing together partners from Italy, Turkey, Romania, France,
Jordan, and Greece.
The opening activities focused on getting to know one
another in a creative and engaging way. Students created avatars using an AI tool, guided by descriptions they had
written themselves in class. Alongside their virtual personas, the students
shared a short text about their interests and preferences. The teachers
followed the same approach, creating their own presentations to introduce
themselves to the group.
During the same month, both students and teachers
completed initial exploratory questionnaires,
focusing on their perceptions, prior knowledge, and expectations with regard to
the project.
Our activities continued with great enthusiasm in November. All partner schools presented their countries and cities through a collaborative digital book. At the same time, and in line
with the project’s theme, they introduced a well-known female
figure connected to their city. This step laid the groundwork
for the next phase of the project, which will gradually lead students to
explore women whose contributions were lost, underestimated, or
overshadowed over time,
often by men of their era.
This
inspiring journey has only just begun and many hidden voices are waiting to be
heard!
