Impact of eTwinning network on students and teachers in Albania

Albania is in the fifth year of its participation in the eTwinning network.

From the very first steps of eTwinning projects, many teachers are part of this platform.

Albania has 2769 Projects, 3919 Teachers, 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 "Languages and Cultures around the World" developed with several European teachers, where I was founded Julia Czerwik Szkoła Podstawowa im. Powstańców Śląskich Kamienicy Śląskiej Kamienica Śląska, Poland

Myrtollari 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.

Learners Like projects in the eTwinning network, this brings about improvements in their linguistic and digital competencies.
