Collaborate and learn from winning projects!
The aim of the eTwinning conference and camp is, among others, to celebrate the best European collaborative projects using ICT. This month's newsletter draws your attention to two winning projects of the eTwinning Prizes 2012. New eTwinners are particularly encouraged to find inspiration and make their own project.

Focus of the month: get inspired by the eTwinning winning projects
|
During the eTwinning conference in Berlin the eTwinning team had the opportunity to interview the founders of some winning projects of the eTwinning Prizes 2012. Have a look at the videos and find your inspiration. Spotlight on: "The new adventures of Twinnies around the world"
|  | The project aimed to create a story written by the pupils of all the partners’ schools. Each school had to write a part of the story set in its own country, showing the main characters near famous landmarks, in particular towns, eating traditional dishes and playing traditional games. | | "I found very experienced and hard worker partners". Marina Screpanti | | Spotlight on "SOHO: Sunspots Online - Helios Observatory" |  | SOHO was an Astronomy project observing sun spots from several locations in Europe. Pupils learnt about our closest star, the Sun, how it can affect the Earth's weather and more. | | "The creativity in this project was to demonstrate to our pupils that sciences can be studied through international communication and partnership." Jean-Noel Peudeutour |

Te doy un poema, me das un cuadro
"I give you a poem, you give me a picture". Pupils in Narbonne and Switzerland look for a poem and explain what kind of emotions or sensations they feel. Pupils in Spain try to find a picture that has a relation with this poem and also express their opinion and emotions.
