The eTwinning project “EcoDigital Explorers for Sustainability” brings together students and teachers from eight European countries - Turkey, Romania, Greece, Italy, Ukraine, the Republic of Moldova, Albania, and North Macedonia - united by a shared mission: to combine creativity, technology, and environmental awareness in a collaborative educational experience.
Designed for students aged between 8 and 18, the eTwinning project integrates multiple disciplines such as Art, ICT, Environmental Education, Geography, and Foreign Languages, encouraging an interdisciplinary and hands-on approach to learning. Throughout the 2025-2026 school year, the participants are exploring a wide range of topics, from online safety and national symbols to coding, digital art, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). By engaging in these varied activities, the European pupils and students will develop essential digital, artistic, scientific, and civic competences, while learning to act responsibly toward nature and their communities.
Using interactive digital tools such as Canva, Scratch, Genially, Digipad etc., and educational mobile apps, the participants have created logos, presentations, posters, stop-motion videos, educational board games, and collaborative digital mosaics. They will also take part in quizzes, contests, and eco-challenges that foster logical thinking, creativity, and teamwork. Through nature exploration activities supported by mobile applications, the project participants will become young scientists and environmental observers, learning to appreciate biodiversity and sustainable living.
Among the outcomes of the international project are: a public TwinSpace with all the documented activities, digital posters and logos, collaborative presentations and videos, mathematical challenges inspired by sustainability etc. all of them remarkable achievements showing the students’ growth in digital literacy, ecological awareness, and motivation to learn through innovation.
However, beyond these tangible results, the Christmas card exchange is one of the most valuable initiative placing strong emphasis on genuine collaboration, with students from different countries promoting friendship and cultural exchange with handmade greeting cards reflecting local traditions. Made from recycled or eco-friendly materials, carrying the beauty of their minds and souls, these greeting cards will develop empathy, respect for diversity, and a European sense of belonging.
“EcoDigital Explorers for Sustainability” demonstrates how technology and creativity can empower the younger generations to become the responsible citizens and active changemakers of a sustainable, inclusive and more connected future.
