Starting from the book „The Little Prince” by Antoine de Saint-Exupery through the eTwinning project „The Little Prince: let's take care of the environment we live in! 2023/25” we addressed topics such as environmental responsibility, friendship, love for others, respect for the environment and people, help offered to others. These themes are also found in the curriculum for V-VIII grades in the following disciplines: Religious Education, English, Romanian language and literature, French, Social education, Biology, Geography, ICT, Drawing and Music.

We will present the topics we selected to study in Religious education, English and French for classes 5 to 8.
