Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2025 Newsletter educational goal of moulding critically aware, socially responsible individuals.
Finally, the projects nurtured a range of key 21st-century competences: critical thinking, data literacy, digital fluency, communication, and cultural awareness. These were not merely academic attributes: they are the foundations of active citizenship in a globalized and datadriven society. By combining mathematical reasoning with civic inquiry, our students developed the intellectual and ethical capacities needed to engage thoughtfully in democratic life. informed, inclusive, and democratic Europe.

Conclusion The intersection of Mathematics and Civics, as explored in the EuroTeen and LifeModels projects, represents a promising educational paradigm. These initiatives exemplify how Mathematics can be used not just for solving abstract problems but for interpreting human behaviour, comparing cultural practices, and advocating for social change. In these contexts, statistical analysis and modelling become tools for civic empowerment, critical dialogue, and intercultural understanding.
Enrica Maragliano is a Mathematics and Physics teacher in a lyceum in Genova, Italy, as well as a dedicated eTwinning and Scientix ambassador. She serves as the moderator of the eTwinning featured group " Mathematics, Science and other STEM topics " and has received European and national awards for her work. She enjoys experimenting with innovative teaching approaches to challenge her students and help them develop a wide range of soft skills, not only within her subjects but also through cross-curricular learning experiences.
Through interdisciplinary collaboration, authentic communication and digital engagement, students came to understand that mathematical knowledge is not separate from the real world. Rather, it is deeply embedded in the way we live together, make decisions, and shape our common future. In nurturing both cognitive skills and civic virtues, such projects illuminate the transformative potential of education in building a more
