“Let’s think about our future working life” Erasmus+ Project Romanian Teacher Coordinator

Bianca Burciu, Colegiul Național „Costache Negruzzi” Iași

This paper synthetically reflects on the complex overview on the effects of the new epidemiological context upon the educational systems in the partner countries of the project “Let’s think about our future working life” and consequently upon the areas related to the project topic in order to fill in an empty space, to speak on behalf of every teacher from the different educational systems who have promoted through the activities they have been carrying out the students’ active involvement at the social level and their openness towards partnerships with companies within their field of interest in view of choosing their future career.

In this respect one can find articles from the entrepreneurship field, an economic area undermined by the devastating effects of this pandemic which had to survive by reinventing itself in a creative way to teach endurance within an unpredictable social-economic dynamics.

Moreover, this guide includes opinions of teachers who have been fully affected by an unbalanced system taken by surprise more than ever by the pandemic and forced to remain sustainable due to the professionalism and humanity of truly committed teachers. Its table of contents includes a chapter with examples of good practice and lesson plans so thoroughly drawn up as to give an overview of the innovative practical solutions found by the teachers in the partner schools of the project and mirrored according to the teaching subjects.

The table of contents reflects on the project objectives and is meant to continue such European programmes as the best future strategy, considering that the relationship with teachers from other educational systems is an interesting way of sharing experiences and exchanging solutions in terms of teaching students and truly invest in education.

The times we are living in have stopped people from travelling for epidemiological reasons and have made us communicate even more through partnerships. Teachers’ solidarity everywhere and their common needs have helped us understand that we cannot place our children’s future in lockdown. We must make them interact with children from different cultural areas and to understand that they are not alone facing the unknown.

The implementation of the new Erasmus+ programme is a consequence of reviewing educational policies by prioritising the European projects which are truly a solution in this respect because only together can we hold on as humanity to share experiences, connect to changes, and be the change ourselves.
