This is a detailed and analytical report of the eTwinning project evaluation conducted with 47 participating students.

eTwinning Project Evaluation Report

1. Prior Awareness and General Recommendation

Initial Awareness: The vast majority of the students (93.6%) had never heard of eTwinning before participating in this project. Only a small fraction (6.4%) was familiar with the platform.

Student Recommendation: Despite being new to the concept, the project was an overwhelming success, with 95.7% of pupils stating they would recommend the eTwinning experience to their peers.

2. Innovation and Engagement

School Innovation: There was a unanimous consensus (100%) among the students that the eTwinning project was an innovative addition to their school’s curriculum.

Future Participation: The desire to continue is extremely high, as 97.9% of the participants expressed that they would like to repeat the experience in the future.

3. Educational and Linguistic Impact

Cultural Awareness: The project achieved its core goal of cultural exchange perfectly, with 100% of students reporting that they learned new things about another culture.

Language Skills: The impact on English language learning was also significant. 97.9% of students felt that their competence in the English language improved through their participation.

4. Project Management and Support

Time Management: All students (100%) agreed that the project tasks were fulfilled within the designated timeframes.

Teacher Support: The role of the educator was highly valued, with 100% of respondents stating they received sufficient help and support from their teacher throughout the process.

Collaboration: Teamwork was a strong suit of the project, as 97.9% of students felt that all pupils in their class collaborated effectively in the activities.

5. Analysis of Specific Activities

Students showed high levels of enjoyment across all activities, with the following highlights:

Top Favorites: "Christmas carols" reached a 100% enjoyment rate, followed closely by the "Students' presentation video" and "Singing the e-safety song" (both at 97.9%).

Communication Activities: Receiving letters and cards (93.6%) was slightly more popular than writing them. For example, writing about daily routines had the lowest (yet still very high) enjoyment rate at 83%.

Writing Feedback: When asked specifically about writing letters/cards, 74.5% enjoyed it fully, 21.3% enjoyed it "sometimes," and only a negligible number did not enjoy it.

6. The Pen-Pal Experience

Emotional Impact: Receiving mail from a friend in another school was a highlight for 97.9% of students. This experience evoked strong positive emotions: 66% felt excited and 29.8% felt happy.

Comprehension: Understanding their pen pal's writing presented a moderate challenge. While 40.4% found it easy, 42.6% found it only "a little" easy to understand, and 17% struggled with it.

Visual vs. Textual: Regarding Christmas cards, students were more drawn to the visual elements (72.3%) than the written wishes (27.7%).

Conclusion

The evaluation results indicate an exceptionally successful project. The program managed to introduce a new educational tool (eTwinning) and turn it into a highly valued experience. The students benefited not only linguistically and culturally but also emotionally, through the excitement of international communication. The high level of teacher support and peer collaboration provided a stable foundation for these achievements.

Easter cards from Romania including Easter traditions in Romania. Easter in Romania is a peaceful and meaningful holiday that brings happiness and calmness through religious celebrations and joyful traditions. In the days before Easter, people clean their homes, decorate them with spring flowers such as tulips and daffodils, and prepare new clothes to symbolize renewal. A beautiful tradition is egg decorating, where Romanian artists paint empty eggshells with various motifs and colourful patterns, while families dye eggs in bright red, symbolizing the blood of Christ, often together with their children. A popular custom is the egg knocking game, where the person whose egg remains unbroken wins. Children also enjoy Easter egg hunts and receive gifts from the Easter Bunny. On Easter Saturday night, people attend the midnight church service; at midnight, the lights are turned off and the priest brings out the Holy Light from the altar. Everyone lights their candles and takes the light home, as it represents life’s light and the resurrection of Christ. The traditional greeting is “Christ is risen,” with the response “Truly He is risen.” Afterwards, people break their fast with a festive family meal that includes roast lamb, traditional cakes like cozonac (sweet bread with nuts and cocoa), pasca (sweet cheese-filled pastry) and red wine. In some villages, young men sprinkle girls with water like perfume as a symbol of health and fertility. On Easter morning, there is also a Washing Ritual, where people wash their face with fresh water for health and use a silver coin for wealth.

Greek students with the letters about Easter traditions in Spain. Spanish students shared that Easter in Spain is a deeply meaningful celebration, especially during Holy Week, when people honor the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ as well as the idea of new life. They described impressive religious processions and parades, where participants walk through the streets accompanied by bands playing music with drums, creating a powerful atmosphere. Families come together during the Easter holidays, spending time with loved ones and often decorating their balconies to mark the occasion. Many people attend church services as part of the tradition. Food also plays an important role, with typical dishes such as salt cod and fried dough balls being prepared, along with delicious traditional sweets like Easter cakes, chocolate eggs, Spanish-style French toast, and torrijas.
