🚀 Here’s what to expect:
✅ Tips & guidance to help you navigate eTwinning with confidence

☕✨ Our Virtual Café Session – A Cozy Kick-Off!

Our first Virtual Café just wrapped up – and while we were a small group, the energy and enthusiasm were sky-high! 🚀

We took the chance to get to know each other, exchange ideas, and dive into the creative process. After some warm introductions, we explored the fantastic logos already submitted and even tried out AI tools live, co-creating a logo on the spot (A great activity to try with your students and partner schools during your projects)! 🎨🤖
🌟 And guess what? You got a sneak peek at what’s coming next…
We're about to embark on a new adventure:
🏝️ eTwinning Island – a fun and interactive scavenger hunt to help you explore the ESEP and eTwinning portal like a pro!🔍 

📥 Please note:
Due to the limited number of participants in the live session, the voting for the group logo did not take place during the event.
🗳️ Voting will open tomorrow morning and remain available until Sunday at midnight in the dedicated page. Don’t miss your chance to choose the design that will represent our group!

ATTENTION EVERYONE!!

Due to Digipad's some technical malfunction, Nickie's digipad (specially created for the Logo contest) was lost. We managed to see that at least one member had uplaoded their logo but it is lost... So we added a Twinboard which will stay for sure. So the Logo contest is still on!! 

Why don't you give it a try??

 

P.S: Can the member(s) who had uploaded their creations on digipad, re add them to the Twinboard?? Thank you!!

16 year-olds (year 9) about their hobbies or leisure interests

We would like to have a project where students talk about their leisure interests in English, with the aim of practicing expressing themselves in functional and meaningful contexts.

 

Our school is relative small on an island in the Swedish west coast - and my class now have around 12 weeks left in elementary school. 

We would like them to practise speaking and writing about their own opinions about the leisure.

Can this be in May?

Who would like to participate? 

 

I am quite new in eTwinning and think it's quite difficult to find projects that would suit my class - they wanted to work with their hobbies. 

 

All the best wishes  

Maria Lidqvist
