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.
