Project

eTwinning is an Action of the Erasmus+ Program of the European Union. “eTwinning is the largest community of schools in Europe, with more than 770,000 registered teachers. Its main objective is to create collaborative work networks between European schools, through the development of common projects, using the Internet and Information and Communication Technologies (ICT). eTwinning aims to promote, in teachers and pupils, the awareness of the European model of a multilingual and multicultural society.

INtroduction

How it all began...

The students thought of a theme to work on throughout the school year and after choosing the theme: "Music and Dance in the World", the teachers got together and integrated the curriculum into that theme: geography, mathematics, natural sciences...

The idea for this project came about through the class project at a school in Portugal.

The project

In this project, students will explore the music, typical dances, traditions, costumes, legends, celebrations, historical monuments... of a particular country. In each of the disciplines/subject areas, students, individually or in work groups, carry out research work and collect information on that country, producing different works related to the theme “Music and Dance in the World”. Throughout the school year, the works will be displayed on the school's bulletin boards, on the group's social network, on the school radio, on the group's page and on the official eTwinning page. Choreographies, videos and games will also be created, alluding to each country, which will be presented to the educational community at the end of the school year, as well as all the works carried out throughout the school year, namely: costumes, traditions, monuments, gastronomy…

Students and teachers presentation

At the beginning of the project, all participants, namely students, introduce themselves to colleagues from other countries, mentioning their name, age, school, favorite sports and hobbies, among other aspects they consider relevant. They also analyze the presentations of other colleagues, verifying here similarities and differences between students of the same age group and from different countries.
