projects, many teachers are part of this platform.

1237 Schools
On July 5th, in Durres city, the best
projects developed on this platform were held by Albanian teachers.
The best 62 projects were selected, of which the winners of this year came out.

One of
the projects that was classified as a successful project is the project

Cultures around the World" developed with several European teachers, where

Gift The Constitution of Liberty, Tirana, Albania, we had 16 other partners
from different countries.
This
project provided students with cognitive skills of various European cultures
and festive traditions. Pupils promoted the culture of their areas and cities
by creating different essays, presentations and questionnaires. A nice
experience was learning a song from another country and singing in class from
them. The students were delighted to hear that some languages they had not heard before started
reading and caring about them. This is a good opportunity to connect the
knowledge acquired in different subjects such as geography, music, figurative
art, IT history etc. They integrate knowledge with projects and this is a
productive lesson.
Another
wonderful experience this year was co-operation with several schools in the
"Once Upon a Time, the West" project. The students worked in
international teams and studied three Westerners.
- From a
historical point of view, they learned about the historical elements that
referred to the extract.- From the philosophical point of view, they will have
to discuss the issues (3 Western) related to the notions of 'The Idea of
Progress' 'Forms and Places of Power' 'Myths and Heroes'.
The
particulars of this project were American students from Oklahoma who
participated in the project.

Like projects in the eTwinning network, this brings about improvements in their
linguistic and digital competencies.
As eTwinning Albania's ambassador, along with other ambassadors, we have focused on encouraging Albanian teachers to register in this network and training on platform usage.
As a Scientix and Leader Teacher network ambassador for the European Week of Coding 2019, I have conducted some activities in other schools and rural areas where teachers were interested in how they would develop the course and create their own activities.
