-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------eTwinning Tree Campaign
by Natasha Djurkova

When we act united, we can achieve our goals and
make a difference!

Students from different European schools planted a
tree in their schoolyard in October–November 2015
taking part in the campaign dedicated to eTwinning
program and to eTwinning 10th Anniversary.

Every tree is important. Every school is important.
Every student is important.
Every teacher is important.
Special thanks to all teachers from the participating
schools in the eTwinning tree campaign, for their
enthusiasm and will to organize tree planting in
their school yard and to promote the campaign idea
among their students and schools community.
For me the eTwinning program is very valuable and
unique source of inspiration and continuous
professional development and I am proud to be part
of the eTwinning society since 2008.

In my opinion, every person – old or young – could
have an influence and change the world. Every little
deed a man does in order to make the world a
better place has its purpose which makes it useful
and important. Therefore, I created the eTwinning
event – “eTwinning tree campaign” and invited all
my eTwinning partners and friends. Together we
planted 100 trees in the schools’ yards in different
countries in Europe. We wanted to show the
students that the world could be changed and it is
all in our hands and will. This campaign is devoted
to the 10th anniversary of the eTwinning program,
thus, each planted tree will be given the name –
eTwinning tree. The link between the eTwinning
program and every planted tree is the positive and
constructive impact they have on the nature and
the schools in Europe. 86 schools from 31
European countries joined the campaign and from
the 9th of October to mid-November 2015 , until
the campaign lasts, many eTwinning trees were
planted – each being part of the positive change.
