LET’S EMBRACE EMOTIONS!
This eTwinning project promotes inclusion, empathy, and emotional awareness among primary school pupils through cross-cultural collaboration and creative expression. Centered on the theme of friendship, the project involves activities such as story-based reflection, emotional discussions, and artistic creation inspired by Klimt’s The Kiss. Pupils express their emotions through visual arts and engage in intercultural exchanges with peers from partner schools. The project also includes hands-on implementation by pre-service teachers during their internships, providing opportunities to directly engage with children in classroom settings. Collaboration takes place through TwinSpace, Padlet, and video conferencing tools, with regular communication and shared responsibilities between European partner schools. The project fosters key competences like social-emotional learning, cultural awareness, and teamwork, while involving the wider school community and families in the learning process.

I TAKE CARE OF…
This eTwinning ITE project is designed as a student-to-student collaboration, bringing together future educators from Italy and Turkey. Founded through a partnership among universities in these countries, the project enables student teachers to connect, engage, and collaborate remotely based on shared interests and educational goals. Two teacher educators from different universities have developed a structured work program, fostering a dynamic learning environment through distance collaborative activities. These activities offer student teachers the opportunity to interact, discuss, and exchange knowledge and experiences, enhancing their professional growth while promoting international cooperation. In addition to this university-level exchange, the project also involves pupils and school teachers from the institutions where the student teachers are completing their training placements. This multi-level approach enriches the project by integrating theory with real classroom practice and promoting interaction across all levels of education. Through this project, we aim to strengthen cross-cultural understanding, encourage innovative teaching approaches, and build a strong, collaborative network of both future and current educators.

The stages of collaboration include: - STEP 1: kick-off online session november instructions on how to play the game with pupils (curriculum, rules, objectives, material, number of players, topic, etc.) - STEP 2: designing the game Groups will synchronous or asynchronous online collaborate to brainstorm ideas and assign roles. They will plan the structure of their game, ensuring it aligns with one of the four topics (chemical elements, famous scientists, sustainability, technology)following the game for learning template deadlines If possible, once the game mechanics are developed, each group will present their draft to another group. This peer feedback will help refine the final product. Groups will offer constructive criticism on aspects such as educational effectiveness, creativity, and clarity. Preparing the game: 13/11⇒27/11 Designing the game: 27/11⇒11/12 Publishing and assessing the game: 11/12⇒17/12 STEP 3 : closure online session ( online session (voluntarily) to play or present the games Each group will present their finalized game to the cohort.

With the increase in the literacy of teachers, it is aimed that the project participants keep up with the times, get to know artificial intelligence, one of the innovative applications in education, and use it actively in their professions. Courses using artificial intelligence positively contribute to students' academic success. In line with this main purpose, the project's target audience is classroom teachers and the participants will consist of 24 teachers working in the central districts of Mersin. The project covers digital pedagogy in education, basic coding and computer coding, artificial intelligence in coding tools, artificial intelligence algorithm, artificial intelligence applications used in education, artificial intelligence and machine learning concepts, generative artificial intelligence tools, broad language models, use of artificial intelligence in different courses, prompt engineering, voice, image and text recognition technology and ethics in artificial intelligence. In this project, artificial intelligence applications in education are discussed with an interdisciplinary approach. First of all, after gaining a holistic perspective and competence, studies on the integration of artificial intelligence into education in many various disciplines will be carried out on a practical basis. In this project, it has been planned by the fact that all of the events are interesting and that the participants participate effectively in all events. For this reason, various methods were used. (Art, STEAM, E learning apps, etc.)
