From Waste Oil to Natural Soap: Transforming the Future!
With our eTwinning project, we have transformed environmentally harmful waste oils into fragrant soaps through chemical recycling. Through this activity, we have both protected our water resources and turned the "Zero Waste" awareness into production. Waste is.
In line with our goal of developing digital competencies, the online meeting held with Osman Çapraz (Mersin Erdemli BİLSEM) has been successfully completed. This detailed presentation on the integration of Artificial Intelligence into pedagogical processes has provided our participants with a highly innovative perspective. Our project continues to grow stronger by closely following technological advancements.

Summary of the "Green Compass" Project The “Green Compass: Climate-Friendly Living with Digital Steps” is an international eTwinning project that aims to raise student awareness about climate change, wildfires, and sustainability.
By integrating environmental education with 21st-century skills, students use advanced Web 2.0 tools (like Canva, Padlet, Book Creator, and Google My Maps) to create impactful digital stories, posters, and interactive maps. Working in mixed international teams, students develop core competencies in communication, empathy, collaboration, and active digital citizenship.
Our main collaborative outputs include:
📜 The "Green Manifesto"
🌲 "Story of the Forest"
🗺️ "Green Life Map"
🎮 Eco-themed educational games
Together, we are taking digital steps toward a greener, more sustainable future!

The The Green Compass – Climate-Friendly Living Through Digital Steps eTwinning project was a highly valuable and inspiring experience for both teachers and students. Throughout the project, students increased their awareness of climate change, sustainable living, and environmentally responsible behaviors while improving their digital competencies.
One of the strongest aspects of the project was the effective integration of Web 2.0 tools into the learning process. Students actively used various digital tools such as Canva, Padlet, Wordwall, Quizizz, Genially and Google Forms to create presentations, interactive activities, surveys, quizzes, and collaborative products. These tools enhanced student engagement, creativity, communication, and teamwork skills.
The project successfully combined environmental education with digital literacy. Students learned how small daily actions can contribute to environmental sustainability and shared their ideas through collaborative international activities. The cooperation among partner schools encouraged intercultural communication and provided students with opportunities to exchange experiences and perspectives.
The planned activities were well-organized, student-centered, and aligned with the project objectives. The use of technology made learning more interactive and meaningful, while collaborative tasks strengthened students’ problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
Overall, the project achieved its goals effectively. It increased environmental awareness, promoted climate-friendly habits, and enhanced students’ digital and collaborative competencies. I am very satisfied with the outcomes of the project and would be pleased to participate in similar international eTwinning projects in the future.
