Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2026 Newsletter
Each month focused on a different area, including cuisine, brands, language, technology, fashion and places. Students conducted research, shared their findings with their international partners and worked together to produce common outcomes.
These included an international cookbook and a multilingual glossary that brought together words, expressions and cultural references from the participating countries.
However, these skills do not develop automatically simply because students participate in a project. Activities need to be designed so that learners make decisions, solve problems, contribute their own ideas and create something together.
eTwinning projects can also connect effectively with initiatives such as the EU Code Week and the CodeWeek4All challenge, which allow students from different countries to take part in related coding activities during the same period.
I am fortunate to work with project partners who are always willing to join our Code Week activities. One example was our Pixel Art Challenge.

The project also created opportunities to discuss copyright, trademarks and intellectual property. In this way, students could see that cultural heritage is not limited to monuments, museums or historical events. It is present in the language we speak, the products we use, the food we eat and the stories behind familiar names.
Hack # 5: Design activities that develop 21st-century skills International projects offer excellent opportunities to develop communication, creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and digital competence.
