This short paper presents a project developed by four teachers, linked to the action "TomKat in schools" of the ConectaKat International Network (CIN). This action arose during the students' return to the physical schools after the pandemic, aiming not only presenting the schools, but also resignifying this space from the perspective of the children and teachers who are part of the CIN. During this action, CIN members introduce their schools to TomKat, the network's main character, while inviting their colleagues to get to know CIN. As a result, four teachers took TomKat to their schools and, through an inventive immersive narrative, they shared the realities and educational projects developed in their institutions. The initiative is documented in an ebook, whose narrative construction was developed between humans and the ChatGPT, and the illustrations were co-created with text-to-image artificial intelligence technologies. The article seeks to understand what is significant in schools from the co-creation of a narrative that enhances the development of pedagogical practices from the perspective of OnLIFE Education. The Cartographic Method was employed to identify clues aiding in achieving the proposed objective. The results show that during the co-creation process, teachers are encouraged to reflect on their school reality, inviting TomKat to explore their most notable practices, revealing what is significant in each context. Finally, they share their experiences in a 3D virtual digital world in the Spatial metaverse, enabling more individuals to learn about their educational practices, the CIN, and take TomKat to other schools, expanding the network.
