SHARING BEST PracticES

In order to share the work done at Agrupamento de Escolas de Carregal do Sal, I was invited to participate in the annual eTwinning Conference “Where Education Meets Democracy” in Mandelieu-la-Napoule, France, from 24th to 26th October. Together with Guillermo Medrano, the Spanish participant in the SEG pilot, Nair Carrera, one of the project coordinators, and Markus Rester, Head of Sector – Online Education Platforms of the Euopean Commission, I presented the session “Learning online with your colleagues – mainstreaming online professional development at school”. The room was full to hear us talk about our experience and we had a great feedback at the end of the presentation.
