Kurillová.

partners, on the contrary, but this workshop drew
my attention to something I had not thought of that it might not always be so. That is why it is one
of my strongest impressions of the seminar and
something I'll dedicate greater attention to in the
future.
A person who made a very strong impression on me
was a charismatic Bart Verswijvel from Belgium
National Support Services with his workshop "How
do you do?". I particularly enjoyed the opportunity
to meet him personally as he was engaged in some
parts of courses I have attended within the
European Schoolnet Academy.

On the third day some examples of good practice of
the best eTwinning projects were shown. They were
presented by Kornélia Lohyňa from Slovakia, Maria
Kurz from Austria and Jasna Mulalič and Marina
Svečko from Slovenia.

I also find as very significant the explanations
obtained in connection KA1 and KA2 projects
Erasmus+ mobility of students and teachers
illustrated by examples from the personal
experience of participants from Austria.

After that workshop participants got a task designing eTwinning projects in teams of five
teachers. Then came the presentation of ideas,
comments and suggestions. Facilitator of this
activity was Gabriela Podolanová from National
Support Services Slovakia.
The seminar was very successful and all the
objectives of the seminar were completely fulfilled.
For me it was a very useful experience, especially
the workshop on conflict and differences in order to
assist in the selection of partners on projects and
resolve problems in co-operation led by Lenka
Práznovská, a clinical psychologist. In current
practice, I had no bad experiences with the project

The conclusion from the last workshop – "The
integration of eTwinning projects into the
curriculum" and presented examples of good
practice – for me is of the most importance and
represents the official confirmation that I have
correctly understood the essence of eTwinning and
that I am on the right way. This method of
implementation has proved to be the most effective
way of realization of the eTwinning project activities
that encouraged me to initiate new projects
consistent with the curriculum of my subject.
I decided on several projects for the next school
year with colleagues from Slovenia. We proposed
themes and activities and already jointly prepared
proposals which will start from October 2015. $)
