Open-Ended Feedback

Teachers were also asked to reflect on key aspects of the project through open-ended questions.
 

What do you consider the greatest success of this project?

Teachers highlighted the following successes:

• High student engagement and enthusiasm for international collaboration.
• Increased awareness of climate change, both locally and globally.
• Development of English communication, research, and digital competencies.
• Fostering intercultural understanding and friendships.
• Involvement of usually less-engaged students.

One teacher summarized:

"The greatest success was seeing students become aware of the real-world consequences of climate change in their communities and linking them to global issues. Their motivation, creativity, and collaboration across countries were truly impressive."

What were the biggest challenges?

Challenges identified included:

• Limited time for project tasks due to busy school schedules.
• Coordinating across different school calendars and time zones.
• GDPR constraints, especially for partners from countries with stricter data regulations.
• Selecting digital tools compatible with privacy policies.

Despite these obstacles, teachers emphasized that these challenges provided learning opportunities in adaptability, digital literacy, and teamwork.

Suggestions for Future eTwinning Projects:

Several insightful suggestions were made:

• Start earlier in the school year to allow more time.
• Increase the number of joint online meetings (including informal ones).
• Incorporate shorter collaborative activities like quizzes or surveys.
• Introduce mentoring pairs between students from different countries.
• Explore GDPR-compliant AI tools such as Magic School.
• Focus on one eTwinning project per year to ensure quality over quantity.

Conclusion

The "Climate Detectives" project has not only raised students’ environmental awareness but also strengthened their intercultural communication, digital competence, and sense of European identity. The overwhelmingly positive feedback from teachers affirms the project’s success in achieving its objectives. The collaborative spirit, creativity, and commitment shown by all partners are a testament to the power of eTwinning to transform education through meaningful, cross-border learning experiences.

We look forward to building on this momentum and creating even more impactful projects in the future!
