Election in classroom
Greece is a democracy
country. In elementary
education, it is critically
important that students learn
about voting and
elections, and develop the civic
competencies to fully engage in
the democratic process—
whether that is at the
community, local, state or
national level.
In the face of political
polarization, students had the
opportunities to practice how to
engage with people and ideas
across difference. That being
said, schools need to be places
that champion civility, equal
rights, safety and civic action
for social change.

Project evaluation
Evaluation from educators of the project
Teachers4Europe: Eu4all, a workshop on Democracy
Summary of the results from teacher's feedback
The teachers find their participation in the project beneficial.
They agree that the benefits from their participation in the project
are significant regarding the collaboration and communication
among educators from other countries, the encounter and use of
collaborative tools and the development of their technology skills.
All of the educators agree that we achieved the project’s goals on
the fields of the knowledge we aquired about EU democratic
constitutions, development of students' technological skills as well
as collaboration and interaction among them. They spent a lot of
time for the project in their class and the project's subject was a
great idea that inspired them for the activities. Due to the
pandemic some activities were differentiated and the students
participated from home.
All the educators were happy and satisfied about
their participation in the project. They believe that it was a really
interesting project for both the kids and the teachers, fully
integrated to the curriculum, well organised, with many
collaborative activities. Last but not least they used the english
language in real communication situation. That is another one
reason that project will continue into the next school year.
To sum up, the educators are satisfied about their participation
in the project and they feel proud that this project has come to an
end according to the initial schedule. They feel that they have
contributed successfully in the creation of many collaborative
products and that the collaboration between the partner schools
was really fruitful.
Ιn order to spread the results of our project in our schools and the
local communities we have organized a collaborative magazine
too.

Evaluation from pupils of the project
Teachers4Europe: Eu4all, a workshop on Democracy
The project undoubtedly had benefits for all participating students. More
specifically, the students at the end of the project were able to
remember its title. They also collaborated with other schools using
various digital tools. Students learned about other European
countries which follow the same rules based on democratic values,
such as solidarity, respect to human rights, equality. They particularly
liked the creation of a collaborative game – question game as well as
the presence of tasks in the twinspace and the common e-book they
made. Moreover, almost all students said they were excited as they
formed friendships with students from other countries stating which
countries they worked with. The project will be completed next school
year due to the pandemic. Next year, emphasis will be placed on the
systematic communication of students in English as they have shown
great interest in the use of chat.
