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

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

Freedom, equality and justice have been the three great contents through which we have worked on democratic values. The activity has been designed in a Padlet where our students of 6º B have published photos that represent the three great thematic axes reflecting the reason of their election. We have taken care that the images were free of copyright and in some cases the students using their creativity have designed their own images with the use of Web 2.0 applications.

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.
