European Commission webinar on Empowering educators: autonomy and collaboration for eTwinning Schools

This webinar is tailored for educators working at eTwinning Schools, providing an in-depth exploration of how to effectively balance teacher autonomy with collaboration in diverse, global teams. We delved into the concept of autonomy, examining how it nurtures creativity, innovation, and personal initiative, while also considering the importance of aligning individual efforts with collective team goals. Through this session, participants gained a deeper understanding of the complexities of teamwork in multicultural settings, where differing perspectives, teaching styles, and cultural expectations must be navigated. In addition to theoretical insights, we shared practical strategies for clearly defining roles, ensuring flexibility in team dynamics, and fostering open, constructive communication. Case studies from successful eTwinning projects served as real-world examples, demonstrating how challenges can be overcome and how a balanced approach between independence and collaboration leads to impactful project outcomes. Whether you're new to eTwinning or a seasoned participant, this webinar will provide valuable tools and perspectives to enhance your international educational collaborations.
