I've seen the positive effects of our project on  my  students clearly.

_ We have created intenational student groups .They have been in touch with each other since the beginning of the project and  made friends from different countries.. Communication and collaboration with the partners have been excellent.This helped them to develop important skills such as initiative,self-confidence,social interaction and team work.

- All students and teachers in the project have improved the 4Cs: Communication-Collaboration-Critical Thinking-Creativity.

- The students prepared presentations using different sorts of webtools,so they developed their ICT skills.

- The project has been an important element in the teaching-learning process of my group of students and has given us the opportunity to learn outside the class and share good moments together.

- They have had the opportunity to communicate face to face with other peers via skype conferences and live events.They have realized   the importance of improving their English.

- I´d like to stress that the students have managed to maintain their communication perfectly.

- The schedule and the activities have been successfully accomplished.

- It has been a pleasure for me to work on this project.

Many different activities have been carried out and all of them have positively  affected my students contributing to their growth as resilient citizens of a better future world. 

The year we have spent working on the project has been a very difficult year and unfortunately some of the countries involved in the project have been victims of terroristic attacks. Working on values such as democracy, human rights, peace, tolerance, European citizenship and friendship has helped all of us not to lose the hope in a better future in spite of all the sometimes overwelming feelings of sadness and disillusionment. Staying together and sharing our ideas about peace has helped us to think that if we are educated to positive values, these values can turn into reality and create a better world to live in. 

The project has proved to be an excellent opportunity of personal and cultural growth for all the students involved. Through skype conferences and activities on etwinning they have got in touch and exchanged opinions and ideas about the values fostered within the project. 

All the students have improved their ICT skills since they have created presentations using different sorts of webtools; they have also focused their attention on how important is improving the skill of speaking English fluently if you want your ideas and thoughts to be appreciated by others.  

It's been a honour for me working with such motivated students and collegues within such a great project!

So taking part in this project has been a complete success because of a variety of different reasons. Not only for students, teachers have learnt a huge number of new activities we can use with an educative purpose:
 
  • Our students had the opportunity to be in contact with teenagers from other countries
  • They could share ideas and opinions about democratic values in Europe with students from other cultures
  • They could take part in digital activities that became a challenge for them and for us, teachers
  • Our students have improved their technological competence, by using new webtools and they feel now much more motivated to learn by using them
  • They need to improve their linguistic competence in English, that is the language we are using to communicate
  • One of the most important positive point of this project was that students became more and more independent and they managed to get in touch with one another by using different tools.
  • In our school students created international groups and they were in touch even with students who were not involved in the project
  • Teachers started being a guide and in the end we followed our students on their way of managing perfectly with etwinning and other webtools
  • Definetely, it was a pleasure for me, all my mates and all the students involved to take part in this fantastic project.

Stundets and teachers from six countries spread all across Europe have been actively been involved in umpteen sub-projects which in the end made every character feel part of the whole programme. If one takes a closer to the countries' set of curricula this eTwinning / Erasmus+ project shows a wide variety of modern and innovative methods to achive the goals set.  In a nutshell the the results and outcomes of the activities so far have been:
- Students as well as teachers have become familiarized with what the "European idea" as such means. They have thus made an important step further to the iam of becoming active European citizens appreaciating the concept of a united Europe.
- In times of global crises - be it economic or cultural - we as teachers helped the students align themselves along certain basic democratic values. We showed them the importance of being open-minded but also being critical to these day's manipulative tendencies.
- In terms of an adequate and up-to-date exchange of ideas we have made broad use of modern media, e.g. Youtube, e-magazines, PPPs, Popplets, Kahoot contests etc. We all have received positive feedback that the pupils really enjoyed doing these activities - something normal classes do not give rrom to. This project in fact enriched the students' portfolio with greater modern media competences, a skill they will be able to make use of in the future.
- Last but least: Even in times when culture and language were at first an obstacle the groups of students and teachers always found ways to a final mutual understanding. Here, too, the participants showed role models in terms of communication problem-solving. The many comprensive result platforms on eTwinning are in a way self-evident and show proof of the participants' deligence to the project.   
Even though this list is to be considered a mere sketch of what we did we can feel proud of our students and what they have already achieved. Looking to the second half of the Erasmus+ remaining and havving met so many nice people I know that this is just the beginning. A lot of further interesting activities will be waiting for us. Let's get it on then!
