Visibility of eTwinning Projects Group July 2025 Newsletter
I have seen how powerful it can be when students feel emotionally secure. They take more risks, engage more deeply, and support each other more authentically. There is less fear of judgment, more openness to feedback, and a stronger sense of belonging. As teachers, we are often the ones holding the emotional climate of the classroom. When we model empathy, celebrate diversity, and create inclusive spaces, the ripple effects are profound.
An interconnected approach Looking back, I no longer see CLIL, wellbeing, and multilingualism as separate elements. They are threads of the same tapestry. When we combine them, something truly powerful happens. Students who feel safe( wellbeing) are more willing to communicate( multilingualism). Students who engage with meaningful content( CLIL) stop worrying about perfection and start focusing on connection. When their languages and cultures are validated( multilingualism), they participate more fully and confidently( wellbeing).
eTwinning has been a wonderful ally in this journey. It provides the tools and community support to bring this integrated vision to life. Through crossborder collaboration, students do not just learn about Europe – they become part of it. They learn to navigate complexity, appreciate diversity, and express themselves across cultures. know is this: when we make space for language diversity, when we focus on wellbeing, and when we ground learning in real-world content, we create classrooms where everyone can thrive.
This journey is still ongoing. I continue to learn from colleagues, from students, and from every new project. Being part of the Multilingualism eTwinning Featured Group has enriched my professional life and reaffirmed my belief that collaboration is the path forward.
To all educators reading this: thank you for the work you do. I encourage you to explore how these elements might come together in your own practice. The beauty lies not in perfection but in intention – and in the small, transformative moments that remind us why we chose this path.
Let us keep creating those moments – together.
