Our eTwinning project titled "Technology with Nature: From the Present to the Future" was carried out collaboratively by our dedicated teams and foreign partners, focusing on the integration of technological advancements with environmental awareness. The project spanned the academic year and was filled with rich and purposeful activities. In October, we began by introducing our project to all stakeholders, preparing a detailed calendar, distributing responsibilities among teachers, and ensuring eSafety through awareness activities. Parent permissions were collected, a project introduction video was created, and partner contact details were exchanged. We also introduced our schools, designed logos for the project, held an online kickoff meeting, and used Pictramap to present our countries and locations. In November, both students and teachers shared their thoughts about the theme and objectives through Linoit, while cities, schools, and participants were introduced in more detail during online meetings. In December, to promote intercultural understanding and digital creativity, students designed New Year cards and created word clouds with their wishes. Team lists were finalized, and we explored World Water statistics, linking the data to our project’s environmental goals.

In January, students made presentations on how technology can support nature and combat climate change. A 2025 calendar was designed as a common product, incorporating messages about sustainability. Nature and climate change were explored further through collaborative works, and both pupils and teachers evaluated the project’s progress. In February, students created a collaborative poem for Safer Internet Day, continued producing works related to environmental protection, and teachers came together again in an online meeting. March emphasized cultural heritage and environmental awareness through a virtual Art Gallery of New Year cards and research presentations on our countries’ historical fountains. Regular student online meetings supported ongoing engagement. In April, students took part in interactive Worldwall activities and contributed to the creation of an eBook on Environment and Climate Change, showcasing how technology can be a powerful tool for ecological protection.

In May, the project’s cultural dimension was highlighted through a second eBook on Cultural Heritage, and updated World Water statistics were analyzed in connection with environmental trends. Teacher meetings supported coordination of the final product, which brought all outcomes together. Finally, in June, we celebrated the project's results by sharing them on social media and distributing certificates to all participating students and teachers. This project has been a remarkable journey of collaboration, innovation, and environmental consciousness, uniting technology and nature to build a sustainable future together.
