“Children’s Voices for a new Human Space” is a
collaborative project between 3 universities, 5
schools, 1 non-governmental organization and 1
software house, funded under the Erasmus+
programme. We aim to foster democratic and
intercultural competences of pupils and teachers in
the primary school context; to improve the access
and participation of disadvantaged pupils, such as
pupils with a migrant background in their living
school contexts regarding democratic and
intercultural competences; to promote innovative
methods and pedagogies, by developing learning
materials and tools based on the use of IT; to
provide materials and methods (educational
curricula), and IT tools (the mobile App) and to
support teachers in dealing with cultural diversity in
the classroom and in adopting new collaborative
and innovative practices.

eTwinning is an active part of our projects. Firstly,
all coordinators of participant teams in the project
are active eTwinners and worked together in
several projects. We use eTwinning platform for
disseminating our results and sharing good practice
with other teachers who are members of the
eTwinning community. Participating in School
Education Gateway forums and professional courses
helped some of the teachers who participate in the
project to be prepared to organize activities related
to developing the main 21st century skills. In
conclusion, eTwinning is the best way to promote
and develop the Erasmus+ projects for schools.
