I liked the fact that the starting point of discussion about dreams, identity and values was a valuable piece of literature. The project offered me the possibility to tackle EU values through literature and theatre, becoming an engaging way of students' activation.

Participating in the project helped me see how dreams are shaped by culture, history, and personal struggle. One moment that stayed with me was hearing students from different countries interpret the same scene in completely different ways—it reminded me that literature can be a mirror, but also a bridge.

The project's topic was closely connected to our school's curriculum for teaching English at upper secondary level. This is why I as a teacher enjoyed cooperating with other European schools, students and teachers in order to broaden the student's horizons when it comes to the American dream and American realities in the context of the play "Raisin in the sun" and today's latest events. It was very interesting to see how other countries deal with this topic and to realise that our students across Europe actually do have very similar dreams when it comes to their own reality and future.

Participating in the project “Raisin(g) in the Sun” helped me understand myself and others better. I realized that dreams are important for everyone, even if we come from different cultures. Each character in the play had a dream, and the way they struggled to achieve it made me think about my own hopes and fears. One meaningful moment for me was when we talked about how the lack of opportunities can affect an entire family. This experience taught me to be more empathetic and to respect other people’s experiences.

# data[].attributes.body
I learned that we each have dreams and obstacles. Its important to remember our goals and how much they make us happy and content, so that we get past the things that are stopping us from achieving them. Also, family is one of the most important aspects of our life and we should cherish it, in good and bad times, because they are our most precious treasure.

Participating in the project showed me that the struggle for a better life is a universal language. Collaborating with international students helped me realize that while our cultures differ, the themes of identity and our dreams resonate globally. I understood that the drive to protect one's family and future is a bond that connects us all, regardless of our background.

Taking part in the raising in the sun Teaching Dreams across Cultures project expanded my understanding of both the play and the people around me. It helped me see how personal dreams,even when rooted in different cultures of life experience,are often driven by the same hopes for dignity,belonging, and a better future.

Seeing the play’s themes filtered through different cultures, backgrounds and opinions felt really interesting and rewarding. I really hope that all students that participated in this project will never stop chasing their dreams and making them come true.

The project addressed essential themes such as identity, personal values and ideals, as well as young people’s perspectives on the future.

Through structured discussions and collaborative analysis, participants were encouraged to reflect on their own identities and aspirations, while developing critical thinking and communication skills. Theatre was used as a non-formal education tool, promoting intercultural understanding, empathy and active participation.

Within the project, my role as a librarian was to support the learning process by facilitating access to cultural and educational resources, guiding discussions, and fostering an open and inclusive environment. This experience emphasized the role of libraries as dynamic spaces for non-formal education, cultural exchange and lifelong learning, fully aligned with the objectives of the eTwinning project.

The ETwinning-project was very enriching, especially because of the video conferences. Exchanging ideas directly with students from other countries made the project more exciting and lively. It also helped me to understand the book

'‘A Rainsin in the Sun'' much better, as numerous perspectives were shared.

Trhough this project , I also realised that dreams are very important in life. People need dreams in order to have motivation and engage with others. Without dreams, it would be harder to move forward and work for each dreams.

Participating in the eTwinning project “Raisin(g) in the Sun” was a highly enriching and motivating experience for both my students and me. Through watching the film "A Raisin in the Sun" and reading and interpreting Lorraine Hansberry’s original play during English lessons, students deepened their literary understanding while engaging with timeless social themes such as identity, dreams, discrimination and family values. The project strongly supported the development of critical thinking skills, as students analyzed characters and conflicts, shared interpretations, and reflected on how the play’s messages remain relevant in today’s world.

What made this project particularly valuable was the authentic international collaboration and real-life communication in English. Students worked in international teams through forums and online meetings, actively discussing ideas, exchanging viewpoints and collaborating in breakout rooms. The digital creation tasks - especially reinterpreting the play in a contemporary context and producing podcasts, movie-trailers, blackout and acrostic poems (turned into Suno AI songs), allowed students to creatively express their understanding while developing digital, communication, and teamwork skills. Presenting collaborative outcomes and disseminating the work boosted students’ confidence and sense of achievement. Overall, the project successfully combined literature, language learning, digital creativity and intercultural dialogue, making learning meaningful, engaging, and truly international.

Participating in the “Raisin(g) in the Sun” eTwinning project was a very interesting and inspiring experience for me. I enjoyed working with students from other countries and using English in real-life situations, not just in the classroom. Watching the film, reading the play and discussing the characters(' dreams) helped me better understand the messages of the story and see how its themes (and personal dreams) are still relevant today. Creating a podcast and sharing ideas in international teams made learning more creative and engaging, and it also helped me improve my communication, collaboration and digital skills.

Participating in this project was a unique experience because many of the activities were new to me, some of which I learned and will continue to put into practice. I came up with many ideas, and the subject was incredibly rich, showing me once again how the connections between literature and other important values in life, some of which may seem incompatible at first glance, can be a valuable starting point for other areas.

This was my first time taking part in an eTwinning project, and I really enjoyed it. It was a very nice experience for me.

I especially liked our Zoom meeting. It was great to talk to students from other countries and communicate in English. I really enjoyed listening to their opinions and sharing my own thoughts. It was interesting to see different perspectives.

The tasks were also very enjoyable because we could express our ideas and learn from each other. I had a lot of fun during this project.

I would like to thank all the teachers for their hard work and for organizing this wonderful project.

I really like the project because I can talk to people from different countries. We exchange our ideas and discuss the book or the film A Raisin in the Sun together. It is very interesting to share different opinions and perspectives about the story and the characters. This helps me understand the book/ Film better and see it from different points of view.

The project also gives me more self-confidence. At the beginning, I was a little shy, but now I am brave enough to speak in front of others and share my own ideas. I have learned to be more confident and not to be afraid of making mistakes.

Through this project, I also improve my English skills and my communication abilities. I enjoy being part of this international group and working together with others.

I personally think that participating in the etwinning project „Raisin(g) in the Sun“ was an very interisting expierience, especially because of the Main topic we had and because we had the oppurtunity to actually make use of our english skills with someone else than or Teacher or Students we already knew.

Participating in this project helped me understand how culture and personal experiences shape people’s perspectives. It showed me that even when backgrounds differ, many hopes and struggles are universal.

One meaningful insight I gained is that the themes of identity, family, and dreams in the play connect across cultures. Hearing others’ perspectives helped me become more empathetic and reflect on my own assumptions.

Participating in the project helped me understand that dreams are not just personal goals, but are strongly influenced by society, culture, and obstacles like racism and poverty. It made me see how each character in A Raisin in the Sun struggles differently, yet they are all connected by the need for dignity and a better life. One meaningful moment for me was when Walter finally rejects Lindner’s offer, because it showed that self-respect and family unity are more important than money. This project also helped me realize that people from different backgrounds can interpret the same story in different ways, which makes literature more powerful and meaningful.

Participating in the project “Raising in the Sun – Teaching Dreams Across Cultures” had a strong impact on my understanding of both myself and others, as well as on the deeper themes of the play. Through discussions and collaboration with students from different cultural backgrounds, I realized that, although our lives may look different on the surface, our dreams, fears, and struggles are often very similar.

One meaningful insight I gained is how universal the idea of a “dream” truly is. Just like the Younger family in the play, many of us are trying to find our place in the world and overcome obstacles, whether they are social, economic, or personal. This made me reflect on my own ambitions and how important perseverance and family support are in achieving them.

A moment that stayed with me was when we compared our personal dreams with those of the characters. Hearing others speak about their hopes and challenges made me more empathetic and open-minded. It helped me understand that everyone carries their own story, shaped by their background and experiences.

Overall, this project helped me grow not only as a student, but also as a person. It taught me to appreciate diversity, to listen more carefully to others, and to better understand the message of the play—that dreams can unite us, even across cultures.

Ioana Dragoș RO (CMVI Student) The project taught me that while our cultures differ, the struggle for dignity and the pursuit of dreams are universal. It made me more empathetic toward the "unspoken" battles others face. I gained a deeper view of resilience. I now see that a "dream deferred" is a test of character and family unity, not just a failure.
