Once upon a time, two English teachers met on a digital learning program. They realized that they have a good energy so they wanted to do something together. They thought for a while... and then they found a great platform called eTwinning. They wrote a project and started to find more colleagues to work with.

They were very excited and impatient to meet new friends to work together in the project.So they wrote about the project in social media eTwinning pages. Then enthusiastic eTwinning teachers wanted to learn more and more about the project. And now they were 20 teachers from 14 different schools including partners from Italy and Romania ,too.

When Nagihan teacher saw that announcement of This Is Me project, she wrote to Hilal teacher and asked her students if they wanted to be eTwinners. The story which started for her like that ended up being a member of a lovely eTwinning family who have always been kind, patient and eager to help each other besides helping her and her students learn many tools and improve themselves.

The project was so engaging that a little school in the north west of Italy, "Efrem Nobili", a detached vocational school in Molinella belonging to "Giordano Bruno School" in Budrio, introduced its young students sharing emotions, feelings, ideas along with other schools. We wrote about our school, what we study and our small village. Students in Molinella looked forward to discovering new things about their new friends...

Moreover they raised awareness about some global issues,such as climate change or Tolerance Day. This was the best part of joining an eTwinning project that it makes everything universal. They felt very lucky.

As well as raising the awareness about the global issues, Güler Teacher and her 9th grade students in Orhangazi Anatolian High School had a chance to introduce themselves and communicate in English with different activities so they could feel the importance of knowing English to be a world citizen. Not also did they use English in their real lives but also they gained self confidence.

It was a real pleasure and honor for me and my students to participate in the project: This is me. The activities were designed to facilitate the exchange of good practices between teachers, and for students, improving communication skills in English and beyond, but also acquiring digital skills through the use of Web 2.0 tools. The products developed within the project led to cooperation between students, development of creativity, self-confidence, but also respect for people, cultures, religions.

Above all they developed their self-confidence by using the language they learned.
