The eTwinning project "Values Matter", founded at the beginning of the school year 2019-2020, was implemented in schools located in 5 European countries (Italy, Romania, the United Kingdom, the Republic of Moldova and Ukraine) by 8 eTwinning teachers.
The main aim of the project was, on the one hand, to develop the critical and creative thinking of the participants aged between 6 and 16 years old and, on the other hand, to create learning opportunities and original teaching materials in order to raise awareness of the importance of moral values in terms of personal development and the quality of interpersonal relationships.
The educational potential (and not only) of some moral values such as truth, respect, peace, gratitude, solidarity, love etc. was explored, capitalized and promoted each month through “blended learning” activities that involved the integration of online and distance learning, teaching and assessment tools in traditional education, learner-centered instruction and transdisciplinarity.
The concrete results of the activities were artistic and literary creations, posters and videos made individually or collaboratively, presentations, collections of national proverbs and literary, philosophical quotes etc.
Personally, I really appreciated a video created by the teachers of the coordinating school, Show Wood Academy, Doncaster, UK, in order to provide advice and emotional support to all the students and their families - the school community - during the challenging period of school closure. I strongly recommend you to watch their message here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw0XUjUmyqM.
