This approach was complemented by the use of digital technologies to develop essential skills for the future. Every month, one project partner was responsible for collecting materials and organizing a virtual exhibition, where children from all partner countries showcased their activities. Through this, we succeeded in building an international learning network and shared our ideas and achievements, encouraging active collaboration between children and educators.

Technology played a key role in the success of our project, as we worked with partners from different parts of the world. We used the TwinSpace platform to share resources and document the progress of activities.

Proiectul eTwinning “We Transform, We Code, We play”

Recycling is not just an activity for adults – children can and should be actively involved in protecting the planet. Educating them from an early age is essential to form responsible environmental habits that will last throughout their lives. Our project, designed by two colleagues from Turkey and Spain, aims to raise awareness about recycling and the importance of protecting the environment from the early years of life. This project involved 12 partners from four countries and approximately 70 children, who learned through interactive activities about the importance of a cleaner and healthier environment. From our school, 5 preschool children participated under the name of our group "The Little Ducks," with whom we also created the official banner of the project.

As part of the project, we combined environmental education with learning mathematics by using recycled materials to create an engaging and creative learning environment. In this way, the children not only learned about recycling through hands-on activities but also developed mathematical skills by programming tasks that involved sorting, grouping, and counting, all while having fun.

Our project focused on the individual needs of each child and was adapted to different learning levels. In our kindergarten, we involved children in group activities as well as individual work, so everyone could contribute and learn at their own pace. Additionally, we used interactive activities such as stories, presentations, and games, where the children made crafts from recycled materials and learned mathematical concepts. For example, they counted with rubber gloves filled with sand or grouped objects using ice cream sticks. We also encouraged experimentation and scientific thinking through activities that helped them explore nature and understand natural phenomena, thus fostering respect and appreciation for the environment.

In conclusion, with this project, we not only succeeded in raising the children's awareness of the importance of recycling and protecting the environment, but we also provided an innovative educational environment that combined experiential learning and the use of technology. In this way, we contributed to raising responsible young people who recognize the importance of environmental protection, preparing them for the challenges of the 21st century.
