Using eTwinning in the Erasmus+ project
“Earthworm”
by Nicoletta Hustiuc
We are a team. We are working together in one big
project, called Earthworm. It is an important project
about sustainability in Early Childhood Education
and Care, and we are 4 partners from: Iceland -
coordinator, Spain, Romania, Lithuania - as
partners. We chose to use eTwinning as a virtual
collaboration platform to help us work with our
students. We invited not only teachers who already
are involved in our Erasmus+ Earthworm Strategic
Partnership, but also other teachers who want to
develop their skills in early childhood education, as
well as in sustainability education.
We will try to work with other foreign teachers to
make the others little books about culture,
economy and environment. We also try to
implement in the classrooms what we, the teachers,
learned about sustainability through this Erasmus+
project, because we had 2 learning / teaching /
training activities within this project, in Iceland and
in Spain, and that is why we want to involve more
teachers, and with the help of these teachers other
children from other schools can work on the
eTwinning platform and develop their skills for a
better quality of the activities done in the
classrooms.
We kindly invite other teacher interested in
sustainability education to join our “Earthworm -
living together a sustainable life” eTwinning project,
to improve the quality of the early childhood
education and also to live a better life!
We are trying to make some little books based on
the 4 pillars of the sustainability education in Early
Childhood education. These 4 pillars are: culture,
society, economy and environment. The Romanian
teachers have already started to work on the first
book, and it is already done on the internet to be
used in the classroom. This first little book can be
found on the internet, here:
