My eTwinning Journey So Far by Marianna Tarné Éder
My name is Marianna Tarné Éder, and I am a primary school teacher. I have been working at a twelve-grade school for 39 years. I have been involved in eTwinning for quite a long time. However, I would not describe myself as an expert; rather, I still consider myself a beginner. This is reflected in the fact that I enjoy taking part in projects, yet I have not initiated one so far.
I have had the opportunity to participate in international projects. In fact, we have just completed a joint project with a Romanian colleague. I was also once involved in an eTwinning project that brought together only Hungarian partners. The most successful project in which I have participated began at a European Schoolnet Summer School. The programme was linked to the European Code Week initiative, and it was through the professional connections established there that I was invited to join this outstanding eTwinning project.
The project achieved remarkable results: my class, then in Grade 2, won first place in the Hungarian eTwinning National Awards competition. This success also contributed to my school being awarded the prestigious eTwinning School Label, a distinction it has proudly maintained ever since.
Participation in this project was a defining milestone in my eTwinning journey, demonstrating the value of international networking, collaborative innovation, and project-based learning in fostering both student achievement and institutional development.
Project summary In 2015, countries adopted the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and its 17 goals. This international project was created to introduce these global goals to students. It also aimed to provide alternatives for lifestyles that promote sustainable development.
The project also addressed the following topics: the protection of human rights, the promotion of gender equality, the advancement of a culture of peace, the protection of drinking water, and many others. Students became familiar with local characteristics, but due to the cultural diversity of the participating countries, they also developed a sense of global citizenship.
The international exchange of experiences enabled students and teachers to inspire one another and to share their concepts for making the future better. Coding and programming were fundamental tools in the project. Participants jointly discussed and then created models related to climate change, the fight against poverty, and the elimination of hunger.
