This document summarizes a collaborative eTwinning project between schools in Greece, France, Spain, and the UK called "United Traditions". It involved students participating in activities to learn about each other's cultures, traditions, sports and stereotypes. They created traveling mascots to collect information in each country. Students held discussions and votes about celebrating the "eTwilympics" and their views on Brexit. They published their collaboration as a digital book of the mascot's travels.

3. Who are our partners? Guessing game
1st step: on the 1st Padlet, each member will post
a message with a pseudo (not his/ her real name!) +
4 clues to help the other members to discover his/
her identity.
2nd step: on the 2nd Padlet, each student will post
his/ her real name + a sort of "photo-collage"
illustrating the 4 clues mentioned in the 1st Padlet.
Kahoot!

4. Undoing stereotypes
In this activity, we had a look at the stereotypes we
have about France, Greece, Spain and England! To what
length do our views affect our opinions about these
countries???

5. 2nd task - Our travelling mascots
To give a more concrete dimension to our quest along which we're going to learn about the
cultures and traditions of our partner countries, let's create mascots who are going to travel
from one country to another collecting information!
1st step: Let's choose the mascots!
Each school should publish a brainstorming or suggestions in order to decide the
nature of the mascots who're going to travel:
Shall we make them/ use students' soft toys ???
Shall we organize a mascot competition and a vote???
Let’s use the Olympic Mascots!!

6. The missions will be for each mascot to collect:
- a traditional recipe
- a traditional celebration/
- a specific tradition
- pictures of local monuments
- pictures of local art
- curiosities or things proper to the country.
Here is a copy of our collaboration between schools,
Our very own digital eBook about the mascot’s journal!

decided regarding
the important decision on
whether the eTwilympics
2019 should or should not be

9. BREXIT Deal or No Deal ...That is the question...!!!
Dear partners from all across Europe, as you all know, the composition of the European Union
is about to change since the UK is most likely going to leave the EU after voting for the Brexit by
referendum in June 2016, eTwinning being a European community defending certain values such as
collaboration, inclusion, tolerance,acceptation of differences, cultural diversitywe think it's important
to give you allthe opportunity to express yourself about this important issue.
