eTwinning offers a platform for staff (teachers, head teachers, librarians, etc.), working in a school in one of the European countries involved, to communicate, collaborate, develop projects, share and, in short, feel and be part of the most exciting learning community in Europe.
eTwinning helps our students to explore the world together, providing resources and learning opportunities. The participation in eTwinning increases students' motivation and fosters collaborative work among students.
We are currently involved in 2 eTwinning projects, one in 1st of ESO called Growing together: educating teenagers about autism and diversity in an inclusive classroom and one in second of ESO called READ ME A BOOK.
This project hopes to connect schools together through sharing what classes are doing in order to increase awareness of diversity in schools and, specifically, autism. We would like to change that through our project GROWING TOGETHER.
Throughout this project, all schools involved will encourage students to take part in different activities during the course and share them with the rest of the schools.
Many times, reading is considered as bothersome or something done only for school and homework.
With this project we would like to nourish love towards reading and develop creativity and critical thinking skills when talking about books in English.
Goal is to read three books during the duration of the project and to discuss/present the books using social media, creative work (posters, role-play, etc.) and various online tools (Padlet, Canva, etc.).
Students will share their ideas, thoughts and discuss problems or characters in certain books with their partners from other countries using English as ligua franca.
They will be working towards developing their communicative competences, reading, speaking, writing and listening skills in English.
Also, they will have the opportunity to share their ideas with pupils from different countries and gain insight into their literature, and their tradition. They will have the opportunities to share opinions and make "reading buddies" for life.
