Treasuring Europe, a project born of an
eTwinning contact seminar
by Francesca Falconi
https://twinspace.etwinning.net/48166
From 12th to 14th October 2017 I had the
extraordinary opportunity to take part in an
eTwinning contact seminar held in Esslingen
(Germany). I applied both out of interest and
curiosity by the Italian National Agency and I luckily
ended up spending 3 intensive days with a group of
enthusiastic teachers from different European
countries to get trained and plan eTwinning
projects. Since 2018 had been declared European
Year of Cultural Heritage we were encouraged to
conceive projects aimed at promoting the
knowledge and the awareness of cultural heritage
among our students.
Finally, students shared their experiences of using
compost.
An e-book was produced as a final product.
I believe that such an eTwinning project develops
pupils' key competences, especially those related to
language communication and digital competences,
and acquiring knowledge on efficient waste
management, reducing their quantity by finding
sorting and reuse solutions. Thus, students develop
the necessary skills to protect the environment
sustainable development.

4 other European secondary school teachers from
Spain, Greece, Germany and Poland and I came up
with a project for our 14-16 years old students,
whose main goal was to involve them in an exciting
journey of cultural and intercultural awareness and
to promote their knowledge of our shared cultural
heritage.
