 eTwinning project CROP

Each partner school had an internal competition (by dotstorming) in order to select one logo to be added to the final common competition that happened by means of a Tricider. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/logo-competition">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/logo-competition</a>

Celebration of the eTwinning Day

We celebrated the eTwinning Day at school by means of a dissemination event. We started by a concert, made by our musician students. Afterwards, students and teacher showed the main project results directly from the TwinSpace to a large audience formed by students and teachers from other classes of the school. This celebration was disseminated not only by the school website but also by local press. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/dissemination-activities">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/dissemination-activities</a>

The most important result was the discovery and re-valuation of the local and regional treasures of our country. Students focused the main attractions of their country doing searches, selecting materials and images, working in small groups. The results were some presentations uploaded to the TwinBoard. Virtual tour of the main museum was shown by Emaze. A collaborative task is based on the creation of a common game (by Quizizz) and a crossword by LearningApps. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/museums-and-monuments">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/museums-and-monuments</a>

The first collaborative work was the activity "Where do you live?", the purpose of which was to know more about the places where the partners live. Students from the Italian school created a Jamboard by Google, containing the main attractions from their city (pictures and descriptions). Partners from France tried to drag them for matching the pictures to their descriptions. The same did the Italian students by he Jamboard created by the French ones using its link. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-cultural-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/teachers-and-students-introduction">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-cultural-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/teachers-and-students-introduction</a>

Traditions, music and folklore

Students prepared some presentations about traditions in their Countries, regional music and folklore to share these works in TwinBoards in the TwinSpace and improve their knowledge about their different cultures. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/traditions-our-countries">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/traditions-our-countries</a> <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/music-and-folklore">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/music-and-folklore</a>

1. to raise awareness among students for preventing and enhancing the national and European cultural heritage; 2. to promote social engagement, democratic participation and active citizenship; 3. to develop linguistic and digital skills; 4. to strengthen European identity and citizenship; 5. to implement innovative strategies and methods at school.

We take into great consideration what is related to eSafey. We dedicated some lessons to the importance of having a correct code of behaviour in eTwinning and in the net (Netiquette), we celebrated the Safter Internet Day at school. We asked the parents to sign the permission for using their students images. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/e-safety">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/e-safety</a>

This activity took more time than expected. According to the sample created by the French teacher and using the link to Canva she sent, students prepared their personal cards, adding an avatar by Bitmoji, descriptions about their families, hobbies and free time, songs, Qr code for watching and listening, audio messages by Vocaroo. All these cards were collected in a Padlet for sharing them in a common virtual environment. <a href="https://padlet.com/mariatindaraanversa/let-s-know-each-other-g5328lps23e3pww1">https://padlet.com/mariatindaraanversa/let-s-know-each-other-g5328lps23e3pww1</a>

Monitoring and evaluation

Surveys at the beginning and at the end of the school year were used to measure the impact on the participants. Their results have been published by ebooks and their links are visible in the TwinSpace. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/monitoring-activities">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/monitoring-activities</a>

The eTwinning project "CROP" aims at the discovery of the cultural heritage in own country and in Europe for enhancing regional and national patrimony and take awareness about the importance of preserving it. This partnership among Italy, France, Cyprus, Albania and Jordan was born at the end of October 2023 in Palermo during the Multilater Seminar "Across the same ancient sea: our shared Mediterranean roots". This means that all the partners met each other physically there, had the project idea and planned the project all together, creating it. After the seminar, the project activities went on only virtually by means of ESEP platform until June 2024.

eTwinning Project "CROP: Cultural Roots in Our Pockets"

The first icebreaking activity has got the purpose of defining the expression "cultural heritage". What does it mean? Let's discover it through a brainstorming by Mentimer where the students themselves will give the answer to the question. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/icebreaking-activities">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/icebreaking-activities</a>

All the partner countries have something in common: their Mediterranean roots! Students will discover their geographical location in this interactive map by Google Earth!

The project is also disseminated by the schoolwebsite where its description, logo, and summary of the activities are visible and can be reached by everyone. <a href="https://lnx.liceomedi.edu.it/iismedi/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8637:04-07-2027-concluso-il-progetto-etwinning-crop-culture-roots-in-our-pockets&amp;catid=72&amp;Itemid=260">https://lnx.liceomedi.edu.it/iismedi/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=8637:04-07-2027-concluso-il-progetto-etwinning-crop-culture-roots-in-our-pockets&amp;catid=72&amp;Itemid=260</a>

Cultural heritage is also our gastronomic patrimony. That's why the students from each partner school collected recipes from their local, regional and national tradition and then created a final collaborative collection of recipes. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-cultural-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/final-products">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-cultural-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/final-products</a>

A final collaborative product

Students and teachers prepared a digital calendar by Canva, where they published some attractions and sites from own country. Months were distributed among the partners. This calendar is printable and can be used for the project dissemination. <a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAGJf4m4IJs/3FhW5o1fG6FLRKke5CtsFA/edit">https://www.canva.com/design/DAGJf4m4IJs/3FhW5o</a> <a href="https://www.canva.com/design/DAGJf4m4IJs/3FhW5o1fG6FLRKke5CtsFA/edit">1fG6FLRKke5CtsFA/edit</a>

During the first meetings, a draft for the project steps and deadlines for the activities was set. Also tasks were distributed among the partners.

The TwinSpace is an important tool for partners' communication. Teachers usually use online meetings by the videoconference system, teachers bulletin, forum but also whatsApp chat group and emails. Students communicate by emails, link to shared documents, padlets and the Chatroom system inside the TwinSpace. <a href="https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/communication">https://school-education.ec.europa.eu/en/etwinning/projects/crop-culture-roots-our-pockets/twinspace/pages/communication</a>
