eTwinning My Childhood Bucket List – Part 4

 

 

Lights, Camera… Safety!

In February, our project "My Childhood Bucket List" proved that even the biggest dreams need the right "digital" instructions. We transformed our classrooms into safety workshops and cinema halls, laying solid foundations for our children’s digital journeys so that they can let their imagination run wild—without fear!

Becoming Digital Explorers

We kicked things off by celebrating Safer Internet Day in a way that truly put our students in the shoes of a digital explorer. Through the activity "If this were my screen", students engaged in deep reflection. Each class described a real-life problem a child might encounter online and uploaded these "digital challenges" on a collaborative board.

Then, something magical happened: classes from other countries became our consultants! They responded with clever advice on the best ways to react, creating a transnational shield of protection for everyone involved.

A Dreamy Day at the Movies

Since the ultimate goal of any childhood bucket list is to see dreams come true, we organised our very own Dream Movie Day—and the experience was soul-stirring. Cinema teaches us to dream big and dare even bigger!

Students from all partner schools voted on six wonderful children’s movies centered around the theme of dreams. Once the winning film was announced, our school transformed into a living cinema. We recreated the full theatre experience—from the excitement of printing and tearing authentic tickets at the door to the nostalgic popcorn aroma filling the hall. It wasn't just a movie; it was a cinematic voyage that left our students brimming with inspiration and excitement!

From the Screen to the Canvas

After the screening, the children channelled their excitement into art! Under the guidance of our Art Teacher, our students became little creators, painting their favourite characters chasing their dreams. This transformed our classrooms into vibrant "Dream Galleries."

At the end of the day, we weren't just left with colourful sketches; we were left with the certainty that no dream is too big if you have the courage to take the first step!

eTwinning Hidden Voices - Part 4

 

February might be the shortest month of the year, but for the eTwinning team and the "Hidden Voices, Stolen Minds" project, it was a true marathon of research and creativity!

We used Safer Internet Day, which was celebrated on Tuesday 10^th February the current year, as the perfect opportunity to raise awareness among all students about the risks lurking in the digital environment. Together, we drafted a "Survival Guide" for the digital world. All participants collaborated on an interactive board, listing the "Dos" and "Don’ts" that ensure safe navigation. Subsequently each student voted for the most crucial rule in every category; based on those results, we created a poster featuring the Top 10 Online Safety Rules.

Breaking Stereotypes in Science

Following that, to mark February 11th—the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science—we joined forces with our partner schools to advocate for equality. Working in transnational teams, we designed and illustrated an infographic to highlight that intellect knows no stereotypes. Our goal was to emphasize the need for equal opportunities in laboratories, universities, and the breakthroughs that change the world.

Restoring Justice to History

The most powerful part of the month, however, was our research into the "unseen" sides of history. We searched for women scientists and artists whose work was overshadowed, undervalued, or even... stolen by their male colleagues.

Through a collaborative presentation with our partners, we brought to light stories that gave us a lot to think about: Women who discovered the structure of DNA, pioneers who identified distant constellations, brilliant minds who watched others accept the Nobel Prize for their discoveries.

Today, their voices are no longer hidden—they are heard loud and clear through our presentations!

Knowledge is power, but recognition is justice!
