Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2018 Newsletter ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ To the dissemination of the project, we also resorted to QRcode and to the publication in the Web (institutional sites of the schools, Facebook, Twitter…). This was a project that touched the Educational Communities and that, at least in Portugal, overflowed the School gates. Inside it, it mobilized an Educational Team, progressively broadened, other students and all the Community. It involved two schools of a same county, showing that this kind of partnership is also possible and advantageous. It managed to unify, in collaborative work, eight schools of five countries, and helped some teachers giving the first steps in eTwinning, in an inspiring and gratifying experience. Our school also participated with this project in the School Prize AEPC2018 (European Year of Cultural Patrimony), being one of the awarded national schools, with the presentation of the project in Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation on the 8th June. This way, we hope the eTwinning project “Do you play with me?” can contribute to a “YES” on a large scale: a “YES” to COLLABORATION, a “YES” to the preservation of the presented side of the Cultural Patrimony and a “YES” to the full inclusion of children / young people with Special Educational Needs.
