Every eTwinner and their events, messages, posts, projects’ materials and everything published on the eTwinning area must adhere to, and comply with, the following core principles, in line with the European Union’s Fundamental Values and general principles.

- Be inclusive. Everyone’s opinions and views are always welcomed and allowed within the boundaries set in this Code of Conduct. eTwinners are encouraged to look beyond their own perspective, relate to different cultures and show sensitivity when including other eTwinners in their events, projects, groups, and networking activities – both online and on-site. eTwinning fosters understanding, empathy and openness towards one another with the aim of making the community a safe, harassment-free space.

- Be respectful. Members of the eTwinning community must be respectful when dealing with their peers and interacting with one another. Respecting other people, and their activities on this platform, and assuming that their actions are motivated by good intentions will make eTwinners not only feel comfortable and safe, but also motivated and productive. eTwinners cannot insult or put down others, or incite violence against people based on their race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, or gender, and/or as a member of a country, group, or minority.

- Be tolerant. Disagreement is inevitable, from time to time. Tolerance for the views of others drives the pragmatic approach encouraged in this community. What is important is to seek constructive solutions to disagreements and differing views, always within the limits as described and defined in this Code of Conduct, and accept that some cases may result in “agreeing to disagree”.

- Be polite and friendly in all forms of communication – especially remote communication, where opportunities for misunderstanding are greater. Being polite means being aware and respecting the feelings of other people and showing it. As home of all eTwinners, the eTwinning area of the European School Education Platform is the online space where they can express freely, exchange easily and elaborate considerately their ideas and thoughts and treat equally the ones of other eTwinners. This means doing our best to carefully choose words and content in events, projects’ materials, online and onsite meetings descriptions, posts, and messages.

B. Some rules all eTwinners must adhere to

To facilitate the understanding of what is allowed and what is not allowed on the eTwinning area of the platform, eTwinning has drawn some rules which must be respected by all eTwinners.

1. No use of eTwinning for commercial purposes It’s strictly prohibited to use the platform for commercial purposes. Any company, initiative, event or software with a commercial intent will be removed, as will their access to the platform itself.

2. No direct threats, bullying nor harassment eTwinning does not tolerate bullying or harassment. If you are victim of cyberbullying or someone is threatening you while using any of the eTwinning spaces (public and private ones), please report the message or contact your Support Organisation. Be aware that anyone caught bullying or harassing other members of the platform may be permanently banned from eTwinning.

3. Intellectual property Ensure that the content you upload to the platform does not infringe any copyright. Before sharing pictures, videos, documents or any other resources, please make sure you have the right to do so.

4. Impersonation eTwinners cannot impersonate other individuals or groups/organisations they do not represent in a manner that is intended to or does mislead, confuse, or deceive others.

5. Pupils (minors) eTwinning takes pupils’ privacy and safety seriously. Avoid posting pictures of pupils on your eTwinning profile, TwinSpace, Groups, etc. In case you do, make sure you have the consent from the minor entitled to give consent or from the holder of parental responsibility over the child in line with the Regulation 2018/1725 (link), also that you have provided a copy of the privacy statement  or make sure that pupils are not recognisable

6. Private information and Sensitive data Be thoughtful about content you post that relates to others. You should not share your or other eTwinners' private information - such as personal phone numbers and addresses, credit card details or other private information - or intimate pictures and videos. Always think before you post!

C. “Netiquette”

eTwinners should conduct their online interactions professionally, politely, and respectfully as they would do in their real-life interactions. Below are some examples of what users should and should not do.

1. Careful and responsible use of the internal message system Refrain from sending too many messages to teachers with whom you are not working. Before contacting a user: check their profile; check if they are available for projects; make sure your message is relevant. Do not send the exact same message to more eTwinners.

2. Avoid spamming in forums The forums in the Networking area of the European School Education Platform may generate thousands of messages. Make sure that your message considers the subject of the thread. Before publishing a new post, check to see if there are other relevant messages on the subject and reply to them. Help us keep the forums relevant to improve collaboration!

3. Only post relevant and appropriate comments on people’s posts When posting a comment on somebody else’s profile, make sure it is relevant to the user. Comments must be for individuals and related to the user’s post. Do not write the same comment to more users.

4. Avoid random contact requests and project invitations Avoid asking eTwinners to be part of your contacts or to join your project without any previous communication. Make sure you have a reasonable and manageable number of contacts in your list. Do you want to keep track of someone’s updates? Follow them instead.

5. Targeted Rooms invitation Avoid inviting your contacts to Rooms you manage, unless you are certain that these colleagues can participate. Random invitation to Rooms will be considered spam.

D. Violation of the Code of Conduct

What can you do if you feel that an eTwinner is not respecting the Code of Conduct? In the Support Community, we do our utmost to protect people from abuse in eTwinning, but as an active and pluralistic community, we count on each and every eTwinner to help us maintain the positive attitude and reduce unwelcome incidents. Therefore, we encourage eTwinners to report when necessary.

In case you encounter posts, events or comments in Journals and Forums, receive a private message, or see content that is offensive, infringes copyright or data protection, or you simply find inappropriate, you can use the “report” button – if available, otherwise you can contact your Support Organisation - and share your reasons for reporting. Your message will be handled by the Support Organisations.

What happens if somebody is not respecting the Code of Conduct? Failure to comply with the rules included in this Code of Conduct constitutes a violation of its terms and may result in temporary or permanent removal of any posting or material uploaded by eTwinners, at any time, without prior notice. In such cases, the authors of the materials and their Support Organisation will be informed and reasons for the removal will be provided. Users who do not comply with the Code of Conduct may also be banned, temporarily or permanently, from eTwinning.

In case of controversies, a final decision will be taken by the European Commission, on behalf of which eTwinning is operated.

The eTwinning project "Lingua Fest" engages 16-18-year-old students, enhancing their linguistic and cultural skills while aligning with the Ukrainian Curriculum for English Languages. By participating in interdisciplinary activities, students develop a deeper understanding of language, communication, and cultural narratives.

Linguistic Expression and Communication

Through discussions, debates, and collaborative writing, students refine their ability to express ideas clearly and persuasively. They engage in structured arguments, creative compositions, and analytical reflections, all of which are key objectives of the English language curriculum. This practice strengthens their oral and written communication skills, aligning with the educational goal of fostering articulate and confident speakers.

Multilingual Competence and Foreign Language Exposure

The project encourages students to interact with peers from different countries, often requiring them to engage with texts and conversations in multiple languages, including English. This exposure broadens their linguistic repertoire and enhances their comprehension skills, reinforcing the Ukrainian curriculum’s emphasis on multilingual proficiency and comparative linguistic analysis.

Critical Thinking and Text Analysis

Students are encouraged to examine various texts, including literary works, news articles, and opinion pieces, developing critical reading skills. They analyze themes, rhetorical techniques, and different viewpoints, strengthening their interpretative abilities. During the project we will place strong emphasis on textual analysis, promoting students’ ability to decode meaning, recognize bias, and formulate informed perspectives.

Creative and Reflective Writing

Through project-based activities, students engage in writing tasks such as storytelling, poetry, and reflective essays on social issues. These exercises encourage creativity and self-expression, fostering a personal connection with writing. The project activities prioritize creative writing as a means of developing students’ narrative abilities and emotional intelligence.

Cultural Awareness and Literary Exploration

Students explore cultural narratives, traditions, and artifacts from various backgrounds, broadening their understanding of different perspectives. This engagement supports the Ukrainian curriculum’s objective of instilling an appreciation for literary heritage and intercultural dialogue, while also promoting respect for diversity.

Digital Literacy and Media Analysis

By utilizing digital platforms for research, discussion, and presentation, students enhance their media literacy. They critically evaluate online sources, engage with multimodal texts, and become more discerning consumers of digital content. The project integrates media education to equip students with the ability to navigate the modern information landscape effectively.

Social and Ethical Discourse

Through thematic discussions on societal challenges, students develop ethical reasoning and empathy. They engage with topics such as justice, identity, and human rights, fostering thoughtful discourse and civic awareness. 

Argumentation and Persuasive Writing

Students practice constructing well-founded arguments in both written and oral formats, strengthening their rhetorical skills. They participate in debates, opinion writing, and structured discussions, reinforcing their ability to present ideas logically and persuasively. The Ukrainian curriculum focuses on argumentation as a key component of linguistic competence, equipping students with essential skills for academic and professional communication.

Interdisciplinary Learning and Literary Connections

The project bridges language with other disciplines, such as history, philosophy, and political science, fostering a well-rounded approach to literary studies. Students explore how language shapes societal narratives and personal identities, deepening their appreciation for literature’s role in cultural discourse. 

Through "Lingua Fest" students not only refine their language skills but also cultivate a deeper appreciation for foreign languages, communication, and cultural diversity.
