We think this project was very important to
students. It attracted a large number of schools and
community students to practise this old and
beneficial sport for thinking and creativity.
us, and we learnt a lot about what works best in
our context along the way. Our goal to blend
traditional with modern learning was reached and
this was recognised by Croatian and Spanish
National Agencies that awarded the project National
Quality Labels. It was also awarded European
Quality Label.
The activities will continue in the future, with new
partners and an international online competition.
Eugen Grigore is a teacher of physical education and sport
at Liceul Tehnologic Constantin Filipescu in Caracal,
Romania, with an activity of 40 years. He is also a coach
and constantly organises sports competitions. He believes
that sport unites people, makes them healthier, better,
wiser, happier, and eTwinning projects are a good
opportunity for collaboration, exchange of ideas and good
practices, beyond the boundaries of space and language.
During the project, students presented their cultural
and natural heritage through the presentation
(WortArt and digital posters) of their cities:
Antwerp, Zaprešić, Bialystok, Aguadaluce. The aim
of the project was to develop interculturality,
international cooperation and to present one's own

Students independently, in pairs or groups studied
a topic as homework for the purpose of preparing
for the better cooperation in group work / pair work
in the school.

be able to use not only in school but also at college
and work. This was a rewarding journey for all of
