In international teams, children are preparing collages on the topic of safe internet usage
1. Creating an International Internet Safety Poster
Goal: Educating children about Internet safety rules and developing collaboration skills in an international team.
Description:
Step 1: Children from different countries form groups within the eTwinning project. Each group selects one Internet safety rule (e.g., “Do not share personal information” or “Talk about strangers”).
Step 2: Each group prepares their part of the poster, which will include illustrations and short descriptions related to the chosen rule. Online graphic tools in Canva can be used to create a digital poster.
Step 3: After completing their sections, the children combine all elements into one poster, which will be published on the eTwinning project platform. The poster can also be printed and displayed in kindergartens.

2. Joint Educational Game "Safe Friend"
Goal: Increasing awareness of Internet safety through play and developing cooperation skills.
Description:
Step 1: The Children Creating Photo Collages.
Step 2: Children in each kindergarten develop a list of questions related to Internet safety. These can include questions about what to do in various online situations (e.g., “What should I do if I receive a message from a stranger?”).
Step 3: Students from different countries join forces to create an interactive educational game. Online game creation platforms, such as Kahoot! or Quizizz, can be used. Each group of children adds their questions to the shared game.
Step 4: The game is conducted online, where children from different kindergartens participate in the same session. After the game, a discussion can be held about the answers and why certain rules are important.
Conclusion:
Both tasks will not only help children understand the principles of Internet safety but also enable them to collaborate with peers from different countries, fostering relationship building and communication skills.
