Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2025 Newsletter
Our second webinar was in May, and it was, in fact, our first joint webinar. " Social Media, Social Media Literacy and Mental Health " with Dr. Lizzy Winstone. This one was a collaboration between the Health and Wellbeing in Education Featured Group, moderated by Daniela Bunea and ours. This partnership made perfect sense – you can ' t talk about social media literacy without addressing its impact on our students ' mental health. The session explored how young people use social media and why social media literacy is key to building digital resilience.
The third webinar before summer break and our second collaboration brought us " CLIL and Critical Thinking in ITE " with Dr. Edward A. Lockhart, jointly hosted with the Multilingualism Featured Group moderated by Romina Marchesani. This webinar showed how Content and Language Integrated Learning( CLIL) and critical thinking can transform teacher education. It was packed with practical strategies for integrating these approaches into our teaching.
All the content of the webinars along with the recordings are available to our members, so they can check these anytime, at their own pace.
Monthly forums: A space to connect and share Another of the activities we promote within the group are debates through forum discussions. We want our members to participate in these online asynchronous conversations to share their views on the topics, widen their perspectives and learn from one another.
Here ' s what we ' ve been discussing so far. In February, we asked: " How can we, as educators, work together with students, parents, and the wider community to create a better internet?" In March, we celebrated International Women ' s Month with the question: " Which woman has inspired your learning journey?" April took us into the digital age with " Multimodal Literacy: Reading and Writing in the Digital Age." In May, we tackled“ Europe in the Headlines," in an attempt to share strategies for helping students analyse news critically. With so much happening in the world, this is more important than ever, isn’ t it?
These are just the conversations we started in our dedicated section, but you or any other member can start any kind of conversation aligned with the group’ s topics at any time. Just remember to follow the forum’ s netiquette.
Activities we promoted and you can still join Words are good, but action is better! That ' s why we ' ve launched several handson activities. Among them, our virtual book swap & recommendation library in which teachers are invited to share their favourite books in all languages and genres. We want to offer a space for teachers from across Europe to recommend their best finds directly to one another.
We ' re also creating a collaborative eBook filled with literacy activities that work in the classroom. Not just theoretical ideas but activities created, tried and tested by teachers like you. Whether you teach
