The power of democracy at schools

Cover of the questionnaire we passed on to our students. 82 pupils from various countries have evaluated our eTwinning project "The Power of Democracy at Schools". This is a very positive and important data, more so if we take into account the containment measures that affect us in all participating countries. For me, the most important part of the evaluation has been the qualitative aspects, as it gives us many clues that we can incorporate into future eTwinning projects. In this way we will achieve quality and improvement in our future projects. We invite you to read the full evaluation report. We thank you! LINK TO FULL REPORT

In our eTwinning project teachers have evaluated aspects that we consider important such as the following. Evaluación: Imagen gratis en  Pixabay .

Today my students have received a surprise in their mails that we are sure will please them. It is their eTwinning certificates for having participated in the Project "The Power of Democracy at Schools". It has been a year of intense learning and this is one way to congratulate them. They have learned a lot about democratic values and their friendship with their colleagues in Bulgaria, Italy and Turkey will last forever. Paula Manzano González

During the confinement the 6th B students have made a beautiful collaborative video in which they have built a sentence of hope, because we all know that everything will be fine! This is the message our pupils want to give you: The class of 6 B #StayAtHome # and all the pupils are very busy between task and task; applause and applause; singing and singing; dancing and dancing. They hope to meet again soon. We miss you very much. It's going to be all right! This is the video: These are our drawings:

During the month of March we have participate and collaborate in... "The Millioner" Teachers and students have collaboratively designed the well-known TV game "Who Wants to be a Millionaire? Each school has invented its own questions and incorporated them into a web 2.0 application called Learning Apps . This supports the teaching-learning process with small interactive modules.  Some of our objectives : Collaboratively design a game with curricular content previously worked on in the project. Playing and learning in interactive environments through applications that simulate well-known television programs. Share our materials with our educational communities. Do you want to play? One of our questions. Julia Orgaz practicing with the game. Evidence from our students: Isabel Mancera, Carlota Mancera, Claudia Mancera and Paula Manzano.

On the occasion of Children's Rights Day (20th November) our students have carried out different activities within the eTwinning Project "The Power of Democracy at Schools". One of them has been the creation of animations about children's rights with the web tool Voki . It is an application that allows the creation of animated characters in order to use them in the classroom as an effective communication tool.  To do the activity, the students read the Convention on the Rights of the Child and chose the article they would animate. To see their creations with the rights we have worked, we invite you to enter our collaborative Padlet .

In the last weeks the pupils of 6th B have participated in transnational groups to study the symbols of the countries participating in our eTwinning project "The Power of Democracy at Schools". The countries under study with the symbol to be studied are the following: Bulgaria: Flag. Italy: Language. Poland: Capital and currency. Turkey: Anthem. In our case we have used google presentations and documents that have allowed us to work collaboratively . The final product of the Spanish team of the City of Merida is shown below.

In this activity our students research famous quotes from philosophers, pedagogues or politicians in relation to democracy. In a presentation made with the emaze tool, our students insert the photos of famous people, along with their quote and brief description. We would like you to follow our progress through this publication.
