eTwinning Project SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY: Discovering Traditions, Connecting Cultures

 A journey into roots, identity, and living traditions

Within the project SUSTAINABLE JOURNEY, students explored the richness of Ukrainian national traditions and local identity, not as a theory, but as a living experience. They dived into the world of agriculture, traditional cuisine, crafts, folk art, national clothing, games, and celebrations etc, discovering how culture is shaped by everyday life and passed from generation to generation. Working in international teams, students didn’t just collect information — they collaborated, discussed, compared cultures, and created together. Their ideas and discoveries turned into presentations for the international project magazine, where every voice mattered and every culture found its place. This was more than research. It was teamwork, creativity, and intercultural dialogue in action. Students learned to see traditions not as something from the past, but as a sustainable bridge to the future, something to preserve, share, and be proud of. Sustainable journey is meaningful learning, real connections, and cultural pride.

eTwinning Project DISCOVERING CULTURES THROUGH LANGUAGES

 Ukraine Tastes! Ukraine smells, tastes, and feels like home

Within our project DISCOVERING CULTURES THROUGH LANGUAGES, students explored the most authentic and beloved recipes of Ukrainian cuisine ,  not just by learning, but by experiencing. It was more than a workshop. It was a journey into culture. From the rich аромат of freshly cooked borscht to the sweet comfort of varenyky with cherries, every dish told a story. The room was filled with the smell of homemade bread, warm spices, and laughter. Students didn’t just cook, they created, shared, and connected. They worked together, discovered traditions, and brought recipes to life with their own hands. And of course, the best part, tasting! Every bite became a moment of discovery, every flavor, a piece of Ukrainian identity. This activity showed that food is more than nutrition, it is memory, culture, and a language that everyone understands.

Im Rahmen unseres Projekts DISCOVERING CULTURES THROUGH LANGUAGES haben die Schüler:innen die interessantesten Rezepte der ukrainischen Küche entdeckt  nicht nur theoretisch, sondern ganz praktisch. Es war nicht nur eine Aktivität, sondern ein echtes kulturelles Erlebnis. Vom intensiven Duft des frisch gekochten Borschtsch bis zum süßen Geschmack von Warenyky mit Kirschen, jedes Gericht erzählte seine eigene Geschichte. Der Raum war erfüllt von Aromen, Wärme und einer besonderen Atmosphäre. Die Teilnehmenden arbeiteten im Team, entdeckten Traditionen und bereiteten echte Gerichte selbst zu. Und natürlich durfte die Verkostung nicht fehlen! Jeder Geschmack wurde zu einer neuen Entdeckung, jedes Gericht zu einem Stück ukrainischer Kultur. Diese Aktivität hat gezeigt: Essen ist nicht nur Nahrung, es ist Kultur, Erinnerung und eine Sprache, die alle verstehen. Ukraine schmeckt  und verbindet uns.

eTwinning Project. “DECIDE AND DRIVE_LifeSkill Jam”. “DECIDE to Act

 DECIDE to Act, Trainings and Activities for School Communities from Differnt Regions

5 days that became more than just an event for the eTwinners of MERRYBOX from Marhanets Lyceum №10 and Smila Art Lyceum. It was movement. It was action. It was real eTwinning/Erasmus life. The project “DECIDE AND DRIVE_LifeSkill Jam”, in the format of “DECIDE to Act,” brought partners together into something far greater than just a meeting. We met each other and instantly felt closer. We worked in teams and truly supported one another. We created during workshops and discovered new sides of ourselves. Clay, coffee-scented drawings, creative workshops, trainings, brain stormings, excursions, evening talks and even simple conversations , everything became part of developing essential life skills: the ability to communicate, to listen and truly hear each other, to collaborate, to take responsibility, to express opinions without fear, to support and to trust.

We learned how to be strong together. Especially meaningful were the deep conversations about dreams, about the strength not to give up, about the people around us, and about what it truly means to be happy. We didn’t just level up our skills, we found friends, felt the true spirit of partnership, mutual support, and confidence in the future. And most importantly, this experience doesn’t end here, it moves to the next level, continuing as an Erasmus+ project with new ideas, opportunities, and actions. Special thanks to our partners from Smila Art Lyceum “Success.” You didn’t just support us, you believed in us and helped turn this bold idea into reality. Thanks to you, this activity became so alive, meaningful, warm, and full of genuine emotions that will stay with us for a long time. And the National Offices of eTwinning, Erasmus+, and the NGO Docudays represent the level that elevates partnership even higher. You strengthened our cooperation, added depth, value, and a true sense that this really matters. Opportunities are the same for everyone. But results come to those who are not afraid to act. And we act!
