In this project we experienced a different side of democracy. Now, I know that democracy is not only a regime or a system. It is about communion and deal with a situation in different perspectives. We all have so many opinions, so many rights and wrongs and we can only get the best result by combining that opinions. We learned that with the forums where we shared our opinions and discussed about them. When we decide about our logo, we all voted and it helped us apply a part of democracy. As we learn, we had so much fun and improved our computer skills.

In this eTwinning project we learned what democracy should be, and what it is now. We learned that it is not a simple topic, we asked people what do they think democracy is and are we living in a democratic country. We voted on the project logos with the other students. We learned about people's rights. We showed what democracy is in photos. We talked about democracy's effect on equality. This project helped improve my english. I met with people from around the globe.

Knowing what democracy really is, is the biggest step to be democratic. And in this project, by doing all of those exercises with our friends and partners from other countries, we’ve learnt the meaning and how to be democratic well. Also, by doing them; I’ve gained experience and improved my English.

I have now a new and better point of view about democracy. I learnt that democracy is more important than it looks. People should become conscious about this topic and especially teachers should do a lot of things to teach their students. In this project we discussed democratically, using forums and other web sites. We used computers and it is really good for all of us. I am happy to be in this project.

This project taught us a lot about democracy and its unavoidable effect in our lives. I had been moderator in the recent forums and I would like to indicate being moderator is one of the pure samples of democracy, giving everyone same speaking time and much more. We have learned using new communication tools and I am sure I will use them in rest of my life.

eTwining has taught us to be disciplined, for example, etwinning web site required us to upload something into the system at a certain time. This project taught us to take responsibility and fulfill that responsibility and also taught research and interpretation and constructive criticism, and taught us to push our horizon and improve ourselves. This project took out aspects of democracy that we didn't know and he made us think about how we should improve our democracy in the future and how we can implement it.
Democracy is important or even very important in our lives. We research a lot about Democracy. In the end of research we have learned to be more democratic. With that project we understood that democracy is as vital as the breathing in our lives.

This Etwining project gave a different perspective to democracy and taught us to take responsibility. We made new friendship. We spent time together. We interacted together. We remembered once again that democracy has an important place in our lives. We had a live video chat about democracy . It was a common work. My group’s topic was equality and this project reminded us the importance of equality as democracy. it was very clear that it should be the main basis of our lives.By using web2tools; I created a poster. It has expanded our horizon and enabled us to develop ideas. My friend developed a slogan and translated it into video. We debated together and knew different characters. We interviewed and broke our own walls. He taught us to be compatible with the group work. I think the most important thing is that we have done this project with participants from different countries and discuss democracy with them. I'm happy to participate in this project.

It was a very good experience for  me. This project contributed me a lot. I got new friends and I used my technology programs knowledge in this project. We did a lot of preparation like preparing a board in school, using different ideas in democracy by making interviews with society. 
Preparing an online photo exhibition was a very different experience. I liked the preparation of voting and see the different ideas in a competition.
The most important thing that we did it all together. I really enjoyed this project.
