Nuray SANCAK ARSLAN - Osman Nuri Hekimoğlu Anatolian High School

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.
