eTwinning project
ID: 154507
This project is part of School curriculum.
This project aims to explore and evaluate the power of motivational speeches and stories, focusing on their impact on achieving success. We will identify and describe various motivational narratives, reassessing the influence of words. Through in-depth analysis, we will assess how these speeches and stories contribute to personal and professional success. Additionally, the project will contribute to the development of key competencies for lifelong learning, including literacy, digital literacy, interpersonal skills, active citizenship, entrepreneurship, and cultural awareness. The project will also enhance cross-curricular themes such as personal and social development and learning how to learn.

This activity was conducted by students on the TwinSpace forum. They discussed the concept of motivational speeches and stories through three topics:
Through this discussion, students exchanged ideas, learned from each other, and deepened their understanding of the topic.
In this activity, students explored the power of words by delving into different types of motivation. They were encouraged to listen, watch, or read and reflect on which type of motivational content inspired them the most and why.
Activity was conducted in Tricider.
Each team has two mentors, and the mentors have chosen and organized a collaborative space.
Our team, Stronger together, chose Padlet as the collaborative space.
Through collaborative work, we created an ebook using the digital tool Canva with international jokes. We also recorded the jokes in our native language and in English, and the collaborative teams illustrated them using AI technology.
