etwining is very important for school development

More and more Italian schools have been involved in projects and our students have visited other countries. In my school we have links with a French secondary school and our students ( not many) have been to France and also worked in France. What we are going to do now is to try to offer opportunities for having training abroad but our students need to have a B1 level in English. We would also like to have more partnerships with other schools but it is not easy. Ideally I would like to work on the E-twinning but I feel that I am alone and this makes me feel a bit worried about the idea of starting the project.
I must add that I have been working in my school since September and I still need to learn more about the dynamics and what the other teachers want to do. As regards the teacher development we are now working with other schools and professional development is shared among the teachers working and living in the same area.

Ann explains in more detail what the eTwinning network is about and how it is a powerful tool to develop school partnerships and thereby shape your schools’ development. Etwinning is very important opportunity for students and teachers.

My school has been involved for several years in eTwinning and teachers found it very helpful to develop school partnership

Yes, our school has been involved in a few e-twinning projects and the students benefitted from these projects at the level of cultural understanding, boosting their self-esteem, improving communication and digital skills. I think that these projects helped shape a vision and thus, school's development.

Network, old way, or new digital ones makes always difference, in better..!As well as Partnerships that represent a good practice to support each other (schools), to help and to develop, enrich and acquire power in educational evolution.

My school does not have special partnerships with other schools. It could have in case of special occasions, presentations or it could organise an event together!!

My school had never been involved in e-Twinning program, neither do I. I would like to participate in the future, as soon as some personal issues allows me to.

anniroulia — 2017-06-19 21:39:47 UTC

My school had been involved in etwinning projects twice one with other schools abroad and one with other Greek kindergartens. I think that this had a great impact in our way of teaching and organizing our projects. We learned a lot of different things, we collaborated with fellow teachers of other countries or other educational approaches, students met with fellow students with other ways of life and another different culture.

Dimitris- Greece

kalariv1 — 2017-06-19 22:12:30 UTC

My school has a long tradition in EU projects, from Socrates, to LLP-Comenius and Erasmus+ and also in eTwinning.
I believe, as a school headmaster, that me peronally and also my colleagues and our students, have benefited A LOT from thes partnerships. I belive this is the utmost EU provistion to schools

our school has no partnership with other schools. Schools from other countries can contribute in significant ways because schools within your own country are generally run the same way. Sharing experiences and knowledge from other countries adds an extra dimension to teaching and learning and creates a new and refreshing dynamic within the teaching community. International collaboration is the future of educational development.

i am glad that my school has partnerships with other schools. we have etwinning programmes, comenius in the past and now erasmus + all these partnership gave us the possibility to see other didactical and pedsgogical methos, to know more devoted professionals and more gave us the opportunity to work together and wrk as a community of practice. we share problems, goals sentiments. we do not afraid change.

We are constanly working as a network within our country and the whole Europe. Professional development can take place ones seen in a different environment. What is seen abroad can also lead to the conclusion that obviously we are doing something right.

My school is involved in several European projects. It is undoubtedly an asset for professionals in the field.
I own, this year, I've been in the Czech Republic under the Erasmos to do jobshadowing.

irene_indemans1 — 2017-06-20 12:57:08 UTC

Our school has got strong partnerships with other secondary schools in the region, belonging to the same regional school’s community. We organize meetings/ad hoc working groups for specific target groups at a regular basis: pupil counsellors, coordinators cross-curricular attainment targets, ICT-coordinators, leaders cross-school prevention projects (about drugs, social media, alcohol…), …

We, as a middle school, the stage in between primary and upper secondary education, also partner with the last stage of primary schools. We organize reciprocal job shadowing or guest- and co-teaching in order to facilitate the transition from primary to secondary education for the pupils.

Schools in other countries, working in different contexts, surely can contribute to our own school development. Similarities as well as differences can be very inspiring to discuss and come to a solution for a problem in the own school. We have been involved in 2 Comenius school development projects about cooperative learning and managing and autonomous learning. They were really professional development opportunities for our colleagues. Since the beginning of eTwinning, we have developed several eTwinning projects with different European schools about different topics: culture @ school, WWI, going to school in a world city/in a small town, ...

The eTwinning PDW and online learning events are great opportunities for professional development for the colleagues.

Circa 2 anni fa il mio Istituto ha partecipato allo scambio culturale con una scuola dell'Australia.
ovviamente è stato un progetto che ha interessato gli altri ordini di scuola,primaria e secondaria,ma nonostante questo,siamo stati coinvolti anche noi della scuola dell'infanzia,con la conoscenza diretta di questi giovani australiani.
Una mattina questi ragazzi hanno partecipato alle nostre attività didattiche,interagendo positivamente con i nostri piccoli,preziosi alunni.

ETwinning community is a great example of Schools shaping each other. It is a big opportunity for me and my students to enlarge our skills and knowledge and to learn new things about chools all over Europe.

Several colleagues from my Agrupamento have developed eTwinning projects, including myself.

My school has received, in 2016, the eTwinning Flag and the European Quality Label.

psaridou — 2017-06-20 13:49:23 UTC

My school participated in an E-twinning project within our country. We tried this as a test project because we wanted the children from a Minority school in northern Greece to get to know children from our Greece. Pupils in my school enjoyed the project even though they found too many difficulties when usinf the Greek language (Greek language is their second language).

Urban, Sweden

2017-06-20 14:21:32 UTC

The school I used to work at had collaborations with a school abroad, in Germany. Sorry, though, I don´t remember what kind of collaboration they had together. My experience is that many schools in Sweden are very separated since they concur each other. Here students can decide what school to study at and the better students each school recruit the better results they give. This is no good development in the long run.

Veturia, Romania

sesermanv1 — 2017-06-20 16:30:29 UTC

My school has been involved in a eTwinning and Comenius projects. These projects helped facilitating intercultural dialogue and multilingualism in order to promote understanding, tolerance and the respect for diversity rich as a collective force. But the most important reason of the project is to keep the national identity in harmony with the consciousness of members of the European Communities and of the whole world. Promoting national identity and culture of each country involved in the project, motivating students to participate more actively in school and extracurricular activities, promoting and improving digital literacy, development of communication skills in English, both for students and for teachers are also some of this project’s main purposes. I think that these projects helped shape a vision and thus, school's development.

Chiara, Rome

carusochiara — 2017-06-20 17:43:24 UTC

In my school there some local partnerships promoting professional qualifications for students (Almalaurea, Fixo - Garanzia Giovani); there also international partnerships with Cambridge and Cervantes Institute in Rome, in England and in Spain as my school is a Cambridge International Exam Centre, a DELE centre and a DELF Crentre for English, Spanish and French certifications. Foreign languages are promoted as core values. The school offers also internships abroad (stage linguistici) in some international schools thanks to agreements.

E-Twinning is being enabled and strengthen in the next few years.

Tatiana,Romania

tatianasilvesan72 — 2017-06-20 22:39:55 UTC

My school has been involved in several e-twinning projects. The participation in these projects allowed students to participate in a different type of activity, different from the traditional one, which required them to engage, research, investigate, collaborate with each other. As a result of this project, we found an improvement of the teacher-student relations, student-pupils, as well as an increase of the pupils learning process, by carrying out more extra-curricular activities. These projects helped to form a vision and, therefore, to develop the school.

Inna, Ukraine

innapanchenko1983 — 2017-06-21 12:08:17 UTC

I've just known about eTwinning and I find it interesting. My school hasn't partnerships with other schools unfortunately. The teachers can know about other schools only if they have friends from there or some teachers had visited other European countries and told about those schools. Grammar schools don't want to share ideas because they want to be the only ones which are successful in teaching foreign languages. Not sure whether we could be partners with other school in my area. A big amount of ukrainian schools are similar with the same traditional form of education

Luís Gonçalves, Portugal

coordenadordetic — 2017-06-21 13:55:27 UTC

My school has a group of teachers that are always evolved in eTwinning projects, but is always the some teachers who are evolved. They don´t nobody enter because, they say, they know all the routines.

In the near future I want to explore the etwinnig. But I also agreed that a web of nearby school could get great profits to improve our school as an organization.

Thomas Boulieris, Greece

2017-06-21 17:14:11 UTC

Well my school has a partner in Turkey that we started working with years ago as etwinners! We happened to meet within a KA2 project and the feelings were really strong :) This year I was tranfered to a new school and unfortunately the school's culture does not incline towards projects... thankfully, students really liked the project and believed it was something of their own! I hope irritation (if not indifference) levels will lower and interest will rise and shine! Locally we have partners working in a net of schools in Greece on the same project, and this really helps increasing skills of collaboration and working together! Yet, there're a lot to be done, since this is only the beginning!

Our school is running a project in partnership with UNICEF for 4 years. It is a project that aims to prevent absenteeism and school abandonment and not only. Within this partnership we formed a support group consisting of the school mediator, the community social assistant and the health mediator. Together we collaborate and run activities to support problem children.
Also, every year we have partnerships with the high schools in our city and we organize visits with students in the last year to help them decide which high school and what specialty to choose when graduating from the 8th grade.
At the same time, we have partnerships with various NGOs aimed at bringing interesting news and activities to different groups of students.
In the future we also want partnerships with schools from other regions and countries, and we also want, in the future, to explore the eTwinning

The only teacher who started developing eTwinning Projects, unfortunatly, was me. Teaching at my school tends to be very "traditional" but, next year, I will continue with eTwinning Projects and now, some colleagues from my school, they beggin to demonstrate interest in this type of exchange of experiences at the level of European schools. Until now, school-based sharing only existed between schools in our district and, practically, only Physical Education teachers were involved in these sharing activities.

My school is part of a network of district school networks and is the leader. It organizes refresher courses, school projects, competitions, etc ... I would like to be able to expand its tour by participating in some virtual twinning with some schools in Northern Italy so we can compare to our way of teaching and improving

Our kindergarten has open doors for all communities who want to work with us. We have developed both local, national and eTwinning projects, involving partners from EU countries and from non-European countries. We are delighted to have these opportunities because we can exchange good practices and learn from each other.

Lina, Lithuania

butlina77 — 2017-06-22 09:32:56 UTC

My school has had a few eTwinning projects with partners from Italy, Denmark, England, It motivated students and teachers, moreover, it made us more open to new ideas, new approaches , let us share our experience with other nation schools. It helped to deny many stereotypes and enabled my students to have a wide perspective of the world.

There are not many teachers in our school doing projects with other schools but I participate in eTwinning projects with several schools in Europe .... and I very much want to become a partner in various international projects and to be a host For Erasmus projects ... the last eTwinning project I attended ended right now and was a real success among my students ....

My school has partnership with some schools in the same area, both for developing projects and for training opportunities. Partnering with other schools can be a powerful way to build capacity at our own school and to motivate both students and teachers. I hope that such partnerships could happen not only at local level but also at national and international level.

I teach English in Primary school. I think eTwinning is a powerful mean of collaboration at international level, both for teachers and for students. We aare engaged in eTwinning partnerships with some projects. Pupils participate with great motivation , interest and engagement, using English for a real communicative purpose. Moreover they meet different cultures , comparing
habits, discovering similarities and differences. A wide range of opportunities to develop an international citizenship.

Within the UNICEF project "Social Inclusion by Providing Integrated Services at Community Level", the County Center for Resource and Educational Assistance has signed partnerships with the 45 schools included in the project and is working with them and other project partners with local authorities and NGOs. An entire institutional network that works at the local, county and national level in support of students and their families.
What are the changes in our institution as a result of the
partnership with the 45 schools within the UNICEF project? What, until now, was
just a desideratum, is now a real practice, and counselors already develop
skills in interdisciplinary teamwork.
There is now a real action network involving the school counsellor,
school mediator, logoped, social worker. An effective network that intervenes
integrated and provides support to children and families across all areas where
the student may need support to ensure school success.

Rosaria, Italy International cooperation is very important both for students and teachers. At the moment we don't have any project but we hope our KA2 project will be accepted

In my school some teachers that were evolved in eTwinning projects. But the fact is that are always the same teachers involved. Many teachers, especially the young ones, are eager to enter this projects, they just don´t know how. The Etwining concept and idea should go to all schools and inform the teachers of how it works and how teachers can apply.

On the other hand, my Director does not like teachers away from school during class time, so the motivation is not big at all. Many directors see the E twinning projects like travel and holiday for the teachers. Let me say that many teachers have also that mentality. I participated in a Comenius project and I loved it.I also believe that a web of local schools of the same range (level) could get great profits to improve schools to turn into more open organizations.

My school is very active in partnerships. We have been involved in eTwinning, Comenius, Erasmus+ projects. We have accepted teachers for job shadowing and we have developed a network with other european schools. Both students and teachers that have been involved have had a great experience. We have exchanged ideas and good practices with our partners and we have learnt a lot. Some of us we are not the same teachers, as we used to be, after this interaction.

At the moment i am in the process of establishing a network of Italian/English bilingual primary schools in Australia - this will support like-minded schools that also teach content through Italian in Australia to become involved with each other and foster exchange of ideas, strategies, resources etc - i have also been the catalyst for establishing a partnership with schools in Italy - i would love for the eTwinning project to be open to Australian schools - is this a possibility?

At local level my school is part of network with other schools for teacher professional development. We also establish an informal network with experience for example regarding e twinning projects or other interesting activities in which each school is involved. First of all I would say that by the great collaboration wiyh other schools in Europe, thanks to Erasmus and eTwinning our school has changed and innovated its organization.Moreover the partnership with local school is helpful to open the school to better opportunities.

Carla Diogo, Portugal

I have never worked with Etwinning - who knows one of these days...
I work collaboratively with teachers at my school but I have never left the boundaries of it.
I truly appreciated some sentences that were referred in thei video: "Leaders have to have openness"; "leadership should be open" and "Imposing from above - that won't work". They are so simple but summarize everything!

Numerous projects have led me to a great deal of cooperation between schools, teachers and students in and out of the country. Each year we celebrate Europe's □ European birthday with beautiful and comprehensive activities. With the projects I have won the Comet Quality Labels. I will continue working on this network with all the strength of my soul that we all feel very good about it. Thanks etwinning

We have no partnerships with other schools. As we are a school which is still growing I believe it could help us building relationships to develop and share information in certain areas. eTwinning is definitely something I will look into.

Konstantina, Greece

2017-06-25 09:57:30 UTC

Yes, my school had a partnership with another school of the same region this year. It was a challenge for our students, as the other students were older. Also, collaboration with other schools from the international level is very important for students’ development. They have the opportunity to exchange ideas and realize common projects.

My school cooperates with other local schools to implement strategies and bring out ideas and innovative learning opportunities. My school is also in partnership with other schools abroad, projects like Erasmus plus and e-Twinning are promoted and are at the moment at full blast, students will leave for London on the 4th of July for an exchange au pair as a part of Erasmus plus project. Every project with European schools gives our students the opportunity to confront each other on the main learning tools and the working chances to be grasped in such nations.

Despoina, Greece

despkyr2 — 2017-06-25 22:03:17 UTC

Our school has been taking part in eTwinning projects since 2014. We have also taken up on an Erasmus KA219 project (2016-2018). After started working on them the school gained recognition in the local community due to the dissemination of our activities. The students have responded very well to the perspective of meeting and working with students of other countries on the same subject, they have learnt new tools and teaching methods. The teachers on the other hand learnt to collaborate with colleagues from other countries, explored different educational systems and curricula and more important, they learnt to embrace diversity in education and beliefs as well as showing tolerance to different ideas. The exchange of practices and ideas took a further step to examine the possibility of student exchanges between eTwinning partner schools. Of course the benefits of working with schools from another country were most visible in the case of the Erasmus. A very positive aspect of this international dimension is that more colleagues from our school were motivated to start eTwinning projects themselves.

Apart from international projects we are also taking part in national projects such as Teachers4Europe Ambassadors, which is about a network of teachers promoting European Projects in the classroom and also European Parliament School Ambassadors, a project running in 7 European Countries so far, promoting the values of parliamentary democracy and emphasizing in the contribution of the European Parliament to the life of a European citizen. Dealing with all these projects has enabled openness both to local community and beyond, because in some of the projects we also work with other schools on national level. What’s more our school is acting as an ambassador in our municipality and many teachers from other schools are interested in getting informed about various European projects by us.

martaropio — 2017-06-26 08:23:03 UTC

Our school is paricipating for the first time ina an Erasmus project KA219, envolving italian, spanish and greek schools. It has been a wonderful experience for teacher, but especialy for students. Most of them never get out of Portugal... and they work very hard in the project. However to make the selection we have some problems... not because they are to many, but because most of students did not believe in the project and others thought they will have to much work... so they are not interested... also said ... as they had to work out of the class schedual... it will be to much.... so , in the end we catch a group o 18 students that have been working hard... For them it was very interesting the mobility to Italy, it was the first time they are in contact with diferents school systems, new culture... This project has been also an example for all school that is possible to do this kind of projects. We have also e Twinning projects ....

dolores_brandao — 2017-06-26 10:04:11 UTC

That´s an area in which my school is very experient. We develop a lot of partnerships with other schools. Since 2006 we have Erasmus projects (they were called Socrates/Comenius projects), and since 2008 eTwinning projects. This year we are initiating Erasmus K+ project that will take portuguese professional courses students to a professional internship. We also have a partnership with Goethe Institut and every year some of our students go to Germany for a week . All those experiences shape positively our school and leads to a excellent school development. We also have a partnership with a local school of elderly people (senior university) that brings us a lot of rich experiences.

2017-06-26 14:54:02 UTC

That´s an area in which my new school is very experient but that I don't know. In the future...

We have partners only in etwinning space. But it reflects deeply,because we share our ideas and information about schools.

My school has at least one project during each school year within local, national or European partnerships.
From each of them, students and teachers learnt something, gained experience, increase the number of friends. I think the other schools had the same benefits.

We are currently involved in an Erasmus+ project which we are coordinating and etwinning has been part of the school culture for more than five years. The discussion with other learners and teachers across borders creates a lot of excitement and does pose questions concerning things that one could change in his/her own school.

Our school is an active participant of different international and national projects. What I learnt from the video is an opportunity for a group of colleagues to decide on the project policy, which could make teachers more active participants and give a certain structure and planning to the project organisation. I believe it would also be more informative, as more shool community members would be involved and informed.

This year we have no partnerships with other schools in Bucharest. In exchange, we have partnerships on projects with schools in Romania and Europe. The exchange of experience is interesting because each of the partners receives confirmations or solutions to the problems they are facing, and students learn about their cogenerates from other countries.

My school has partnershipswith local school and authorities or cultural associations and even in some eTwinning projects. All that is very important both for students and teachers or parents as it greatly contribute to personal and social development.

My school has partnerships with other schools. These partnerships have brought tremendous change in the mentality and operation way of teachers participating in these imitatives. School partners can indeed contribute to our school’s development. We can help other schools because we currently present a worst case scenario and I believe that we can benefit by analyzing the factors that bring us in this position. As we have done in the past we can partner with schools in or area, district and beyond.

We communicate with other schools and we have cooperate in many etwinning projects. Other school can not directly contribute to our school development, but they do change the way we see our self.
We live in a small society, so each school influences the other and vice versa.

My school is involved in e-twinning or other international projects. They add value to the school and offers an internalization prospect. The problem is that only a few teachers prticipate in such projects, thus there is little development in this respect.

Il nostro Istituto collabora con le altre scuole del territorio per progetti, per coordinare l'organizzazione delle scuole, per un collegamento di rete fra scuole, per condividere gli stessi valori educativi e formativi.
La continuità fra le scuole di ordine diverso è molto importante ed è un punto di forza per il nostro Istituto. La collaborazione è richiesta tra i docenti ,

Essendo una scuola dell’infanzia, gli scambi tra scuole avvengono tramite incontri periodici, in cui ci si scambia esperienze, opinioni e utilizzo delle diverse risorse. Questo è fondamentale per una crescita professionale della scuola e personale dei docenti.

Yes they are partnerships with many schools in the country, but less outside the country. For example, I have received the visit of the Belgian Scouts who have organized animation workshops for children during the summer vacation. For students, it was a great way to spend time at school, for teachers it was an exchange of experience because they learned new ways of playing, relaxing, animating.

There is a network of schools on local but national level as well. It has proven beneficiary on many level. For example, if one school, let's say Primary school participates in a contact seminar or other, they can also provide contact information for let's say vocational schools in the area. Some of this contacts and future collaborations have proven as quite a success.

Exchanges between schools take place through periodic meetings, where experiences, opinions and the use of different resources are exchanged. This is crucial to the professional growth of the school and staff of teachers.

Taking into consideration the nature of my school ( students go to a PRU after they had been removed from mainstream school) eTwinning is the only way to create positive partnerships. A tool to challenge stereotypes and introduce other cultures. I had been running eTwinning

My school did have an e-Twinning experience in the past but, as far as I know, it ended. I was not directly involved in it. It involved only a small group of teachers and students and I don´t think it had a major impact on my school. My school does have regularly Erasmus+ projects, mostly for professional courses and I believe students always feel like it’s an unforgettable experience that helps them to broaden horizons and grow very much.
