AI with Heart, Minds Alight!: Our November Activities

Our Project Partners’ 2nd Online Meeting

United in One Heart, Shining with One Light: Stronger in Our Second Step!

We came together once again for our AI with Heart, Minds Alight project during our second online partners’ meeting held on TwinSpace. With a warm, friendly, and highly collaborative atmosphere, we reviewed our October activities, celebrated the progress we have achieved together, and shared valuable insights from all partners. We also discussed our November tasks in detail, clarifying the next steps of our project with a unified vision. The meeting was extremely productive thanks to the active participation, high energy, and dedication of all project partners. Every contribution strengthened our team spirit and proved once again how harmoniously we work together.

Together, we continue our inspiring journey—enlightening both hearts and minds—as a stronger, more connected team.

Our Project Is Spreading: School Bulletin Board Activity

Our dynamic eTwinning project “AI with Heart, Mind Alight” has officially entered its dissemination phase! As part of our November activities, all project partners worked together to prepare colorful and eye-catching School Bulletin Boards to ensure that our project reaches the entire school community and gains wider visibility. In our school, the creative display was prepared with great enthusiasm by our young and brilliant team. These bulletin boards not only show how fun it can be to learn about advanced technologies but also emphasize the importance of using artificial intelligence responsibly, consciously, and with good intentions.

Together, as project partners, we are proudly spreading our message—enlightening hearts and minds across all our schools.

We Have a Message to Atatürk: Our November 10th Commemoration Activity

Honoring Atatürk Through the “AI with Heart, Minds Alight” Project

As part of our AI with Heart, Minds Alight project, we commemorated Mustafa Kemal Atatürk with a creative and modern approach—blending human values with the possibilities of artificial intelligence. On November 10th, students from 10 Turkish partner schools came together to honor Atatürk’s timeless legacy through a collaborative activity. For this special work, each class recorded its own heartfelt message—expressing gratitude, respect, and affection inspired by Atatürk’s forward-thinking principles and enduring values. All these messages were then combined to create a meaningful collaborative remembrance video.

The final video powerfully showcases how Atatürk’s leadership, educational vision, and foresight continue to inspire today’s young minds. This activity once again demonstrated the responsibility, awareness, and respect with which our students carry Atatürk’s guiding light into the future.

We Completed Our “AI Values Manifesto” Activity in 3 Stages!

Within our eTwinning project AI with Heart, Minds Alight, we successfully carried out the AI Values Manifesto activity through three meaningful and engaging stages. Throughout the process, students not only developed awareness about artificial intelligence but also explored how ethical principles can be integrated into technology through creative work.

Stage 1: ChoosinOur school chose a value, and our students:

Researched what “values” means in the context of artificial intelligence and prepared an English definition.
Designed an original logo reflecting the theme of value.
Created a short and powerful slogan expressing the value in the most effective way.

Defining a Value

Each partner school selected one ethical value to focus on. In total, 25 different values were introduced collaboratively across all schools.

This stage greatly strengthened our students’ ethical awareness, creativity, and critical thinking skills, while also contributing to a rich collection of values created together by all project partners.

Stage 2: Creating a Short Video to Present Our Value

In the second stage, students created a promotional video explaining their selected value using the AI-supported tool Fliki ai.

By using tools Fliki ai students combined:

A title card for the chosen value
A short and clear definition
AI-generated visuals
Voice-overs and explanatory text

to produce an engaging and informative video.

This activity helped students develop digital literacy and media awareness while learning how to create meaningful content with artificial intelligence. It also allowed them to present their ethical value in a creative, visual, and technology-rich format.

Stage 3: Writing the Joint “AI Values Manifesto”

In the final stage, all project schools came together and worked collaboratively using the shared definitions. As a result, we created an international document titled “AI Values Manifesto: Our Common Voice.”

With contributions from every partner school, this manifesto:

Highlights which human values should guide the development and use of artificial intelligence,
Emphasizes why an ethical, safe, and human-centered approach is essential in the digital future.

Through this three-step process, our students gained a meaningful experience—not only as users of technology, but as individuals who guide technology with values and develop a strong ethical awareness.

A Digital Surprise for Teachers’ Day:

Our International “AI Teacher Hero Postcard” Activity

As part of our eTwinning project, all partner schools from different countries celebrated Teachers’ Day with a meaningful and creative collaborative activity. Each school prepared its own “AI Teacher Hero Postcards,” transforming teachers’ photos into AI-generated superheroes to honor and appreciate them in a unique way. Through this international activity, students not only expressed their gratitude but also strengthened important skills such as creativity, digital literacy, communication, teamwork, and cultural awareness. Every participating country created and shared its own Teachers’ Day postcards, which were then brought together into a vibrant international album—highlighting our unity, appreciation, and the inspiring role of teachers around the world.
