🌍 Are You a Cricket or an Ant?


 A Journey Through Food, Culture, and 21st Century Skills
Our international eTwinning project “Are You a Cricket or an Ant?” was inspired by Aesop’s timeless fable and designed to guide students through a creative, collaborative and cross-cultural exploration of food, sustainability, and essential 21st-century skills.

From September 2024 to May 2025, students from different countries worked together to research traditional food preservation methods, share unique recipes, and discover culinary traditions from around the world. Along the way, they reflected on global challenges related to healthy eating and sustainable living, developing their critical thinking by proposing innovative, future-ready solutions.

Using the moral and structure of the fable as a creative springboard, students engaged in storytelling, writing their own modern interpretations that blended imagination with life lessons. They practiced and improved their English language skills through interactive games, quizzes, and online communication, while also developing their digital literacy through the use of various ICT tools and platforms.

This project was more than an exchange of recipes or stories—it was a journey of discovery, collaboration, and growth. Through joint activities, online meetings, and teamwork with peers from other countries, students built bridges between cultures and fostered understanding, empathy, and cooperation in a digital world.
