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 10th 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.
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!
