2023-24: “Artificial Intelligence: a Blessing or a Curse?”
Students from Turkey, Germany, Italy, and France explored the impact of AI through this project. Recognising the importance of thoughtful engagement with AI, students were encouraged to analyse its potential, avoid misuse, and develop critical thinking skills.
In international teams, they researched AI, created podcasts, and won the First Hippocrène Prize (10,000 euros to fund a visit to one of their European partners). They also earned the National eTwinning Award.

2021-22: “Speak Up for Change”
This collaborative project focused on environmental issues. Students from France, Italy, Poland, and Germany worked in international groups to explore zero-waste initiatives, they tested 0 waste themselves, and proposed changes to their school principal, city mayor, and even the European Parliament.
Their efforts earned them the National and European eTwinning Quality Labels, the TAG Climate Action Project: School of Excellence Award, and finalist status for the Hippocrène Prize.
2020-21: “Podcasting Project: Content Creation at Our Fingertips”
During the pandemic, students from France, Germany, and Italy tackled the challenge of misinformation. In international groups, they created podcasts, interviewed experts on online learning and COVID-19, and shared their insights globally.
This project received both the National and European eTwinning Awards and an eTwinning Prize.
