The Young Activists Adventure Project: Fostering Language, Digital Literacy, and Global Awareness. The Nigerian Perspective. Project Overview: The Young Activists Adventure Project is a telecollaborative initiative that blends AI-powered tools with project-based learning to enhance language skills, digital literacy, and global awareness among students in Spain and Nigeria. Focused on Sustainable Development Goal 6 (SDG6) of clean water and sanitation, this project aimed to improve English language proficiency and raise awareness of global issues through AI-driven collaboration. Over three months, 52 learners (ages 9-10) in Spain and 7 students (ages 10-14) in Nigeria participated in a series of phases, including orientation, AI-enhanced language learning, global awareness activities, and final presentations. The project utilized customized ChatGPT to engage students in English communication and ensure a safe and effective learning experience. This innovative initiative aimed to enhance students English tense usage while exploring the global water crisis. Through a partnership between schools in Nigeria and Spain, students engaged in research, AI-assisted activities, and creative outputs, inspiring them to advocate for real-world solutions. Project Phases Activities: The project unfolded in several key phases:  Research & Question Generation: Students explored global water issues, generating 'mystery classroom' questions with the help of AI, brainstormed ideas for their play and other possible campaigns with ChatGPT, honing their critical thinking and language skills. Interactive Learning with Plickers: Real-time multiple-choice questions provided immediate feedback on their English tense usage.  Breaking Stereotypes: Using ChatGPT crafted visuals, students addressed cultural stereotypes through activities comparing images from Nigeria and Spain, discovering shared challenges and broadening their perspectives.  Community Research: Interviews on local water challenges allowed students to apply their language skills in real-world contexts, often asking unplanned follow-up questions based on participants' responses. Design of Learning Materials The learning materials were designed to be interactive, adaptive, and interdisciplinary. The key components included: · Customized ChatGPT: An Engligh-only, age appropriate, private and safe tool designed to support students in research and creative projects. It was used to generate AI-powered writing prompts, helping students create persuasive messages on water conservation, refine their writing skills, and develop linguistic accuracy. Learners used ChatGPT to generate an initial logo design, leveraging AI for creative inspiration. However, due to ChatGPT’s limitations in accurately incorporating text within the logo, they transferred the design to Canva for further editing and customization. · Plickers: Integrated for real-time formative assessment, allowing teachers to gauge student understanding through AI-enhanced quizzes and instant feedback mechanisms. The process was interactive and engaging. · Magic School for Song Composition: Students composed and analyzed songs about water conservation, reinforcing vocabulary, phonetics, and creative language use through music. · Canva for Logo Editing: Enabled students to design logos and advocacy visuals, promoting environmental campaigns while developing digital literacy and artistic expression. · Google Meet: Facilitated online collaboration, discussions, and peer feedback sessions, fostering global learning exchanges with students from different countries. · Google Forms: Used for surveys and reflective exercises, allowing students to document their learning progress and assess the impact of their advocacy messages. Each material was structured to facilitate inquiry-based learning, ensuring that students could explore and construct knowledge through guided tasks. Implementation and Outcomes The project was implemented through structured online and offline sessions where students interacted with AI tools under teacher supervision. The sessions followed a blended learning approach, incorporating digital collaboration with hands-on classroom activities. Creative Outputs with AI:  Slogan & Logo Creation: Students crafted water conservation slogans and logos, refining their ideas with AI support and participating in collaborative voting. Final Project Output:  Play Creation: Students scripted a play on water scarcity, using AI-generated images for stage backdrops, painting vivid scenes that enhanced their play’s message. ChatGPT guided word choices in prompts, helping students develop impactful script and convey their message effectively.Click here to watch video https://youtu.be/8mOaSzNO9ZE   Song Composition: A collaboratively composed song on water conservation, with students leading lyric adjustments to sync with the original soundtrack. Global Awareness: Creating a Global Water Conservation Script with ChatGPT The AI and water conservation project empowered students to enhance their global awareness in a number of transformative ways, particularly through their AI-assisted play. The project encouraged students to approach the issue of water conservation, a critical global concern, through their local context. Using AI tools, they created a play that reflected their understanding of water scarcity in their environment. This allowed them to relate their everyday experiences to a broader, global issue, fostering a sense of responsibility as global citizens. By dramatizing these experiences, students could comprehend how local actions (such as water use and conservation) have wider, global implications. Lessons for Educators: The project underscored the importance of thoughtful AI integration, engaging themes, collaborative activities, and interactive tools like Plickers. It also highlighted the value of challenging stereotypes and encouraging reflection for continuous learning. AI is a tool to enhance/complement classroom interaction, but should never be a replacement for the teacher. Integrate AI Thoughtfully: Use AI to complement, not replace teaching. Choose Engaging Topics: Relevant themes increase student engagement. Encourage Collaboration: Group activities foster communication and peer learning. – Leverage Interactive Tools: Tools like Plickers provide dynamic, instant feedback. Challenge Stereotypes: Activities that reveal cultural commonalities broaden perspectives. – Reflect and Iterate: Post-project reflections enhance learning and project improvement. Overcoming Challenges: Despite limited resources like insufficient computers and poor internet strength, students adapted by sharing devices and merging contributions via email. Collaborative efforts ensured every voice was heard, and creative work continued seamlessly. Conclusion: The Young Activists Adventure Project made a lasting impact, enhancing students English language skills, digital literacy, and cultural understanding. By blending AI with cross-cultural collaboration, this project created an enlightening educational experience, empowering students to address global issues with creativity and confidence. The project gave the students a sense of ownership
