Dear eTwinning & Erasmus+ Enthusiasts,

Here are some notable days in April that can inspire engaging and meaningful discussions or activities:  

📅 April 7 – World Health Day

Activity Idea: Share how your eTwinning or Erasmus+ projects promote well-being—mental health, healthy habits, or inclusive practices in schools.

📅 April 22 – Earth Day                                                                                               

Activity Idea: Create a virtual exhibition or collaborative padlet where you can share green practices, eco-school ideas, and sustainable development projects.                                   

📅 April 23 – World Book and Copyright Day                                                         

Activity Idea: Organize a “Reading Across Borders” activity where teachers/students share favorite books or stories from your countries. Literacy and cultural exchange are common in both eTwinning and Erasmus+—this can also link to multilingualism and language learning.

Grab a coffee and join us for April’s discussion!☕🌸

💬 How can eTwinning strengthen your Erasmus+ projects—and vice versa?

Showcase examples where eTwinning prepared the ground for Erasmus+ mobility projects (e.g., KA1, KA2).

📸 Show us your project in action! Post one image that represents the essence of their Erasmus+ or eTwinning project.

Let us know in the comments—how do you combine eTwinning and Erasmus+ in your teaching?

                           🌍 Cultural Heritage as a Learning Tool

eTwinning and Erasmus+ projects enable students and teachers to explore and share their cultural traditions, languages, and histories across borders. Just as poetry preserves the voices of different generations, these programs help students connect with their heritage while discovering others’.

                          📖 Poetry as a Universal Language

March 21 is World Poetry Day, and poetry is a powerful way to express identity and heritage. Through eTwinning and Erasmus+, students can write and exchange poems, learning about different literary traditions and enhancing their appreciation of linguistic and cultural diversity.

                         ✊ Fostering Inclusion and Diversity

The International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination reminds us of the importance of promoting equality and understanding. Erasmus+ and eTwinning projects bring students from diverse backgrounds together, breaking stereotypes and fostering mutual respect—just as cultural heritage does.

Cultural heritage connects us all, and through Erasmus+ and eTwinning, we can make classrooms a place where diversity is celebrated, traditions are shared, and new cultural bridges are built! 🌍📚✨

☕ Grab a good coffee and stay with us for this interactive activity of the March Virtual Café!

🚀Erasmus+ and eTwinning projects aim to foster cultural exchange. This activity encourages participants to explore the diversity of names across different languages and cultures, helping them appreciate linguistic and cultural heritage.

🎊 Everyone is invited to 🤝share the story of their first name through a short narrative. Participants can talk about the origin of their name, an anecdote, or even their relationship with their name. The turn to speak passes from one person to another using a symbolic object or simply in turn. It can be a little intimidating for some to tell a story in front of everyone, but in my experience, participants are usually satisfied with the opportunity to share a part of their individuality while receiving the group’s full attention.

So, what's the story behind your first name?⤵️⤵️

Did you know that over 6,000 languages are spoken across the world? 

🌏 International Mother Language Day is a perfect occasion to celebrate linguistic diversity, promote multilingual education, and strengthen our international collaborations in Erasmus+ and eTwinning!

💡 How do Erasmus+ and eTwinning connect with linguistic diversity?

✨ Erasmus+ brings educators and students together from different cultures, fostering language learning and intercultural dialogue.

✨ eTwinning offers a digital space for collaboration, allowing schools to work on multilingual projects, exchange ideas, and promote inclusivity through language.

📢 Let’s celebrate together!

🔹 Share a phrase in your mother language and its meaning in the comments! 💬
🔹 Tell us how language plays a role in your Erasmus+ and eTwinning projects. 🗣️
🔹 Organize a small classroom activity where students exchange words in different languages and explore their origins! 🎭
