"Dreams Will Give Us Wings" - an online lesson to develop the key-competences of the future graduates and the result of eTwinning collaboration (21/10/2021)

On 21 October, 2021, two classes of students from two eTwinning schools located in two counties - Prahova and Buzău- participated in an online lesson planned and coordinated by their teachers of English, Mrs. Andreea Goldschmidt and Mrs. Emilia Frînculeasă.
Puchenii Mari Secondary School (Prahova) and "Radu Vlădescu" Theoretical High School (Pătârlagele) are currently implementing the eTwinning project entitled "Together for the Graduate Profile", 
https://live.etwinning.net/projects/project/313051, whose aims are:

- to raise awareness of the role of school and education, including eTwinning projects and partnerships, in achieving school progress towards personal and professional success; 

- to create and capitalize on real opportunities to initiate, carry out and participate in activities aimed at actively, creatively and collaboratively engaging participants in their own learning and personal development, also by fructifying the chance to (self)assess key competencies, attitudes and values in real life contexts;

- to develop the profile of each future high school graduate, more precisely the communication in Romanian and English, mathematical, scientific and technological skills, digital skills, learning to learn, social and civic skills, initiative and entrepreneurship, etc.;

- to promote the eTwinning platform and the participating institutions as friendly environments and spaces for inclusion, empathy, equity and solidarity.

The participants shared their goals and plans for the future and expressed their opinions about the obvious, logical steps, skills and competences necessary for a future career in fields like medical and health services, education, management, entertainment, law enforcement etc. They also discovered similarities, shared interests, passions and common personality traits as well as related purposes and strategies.

The two coordinators also took advantage of the benefits of online collaboration and digital tools, allowing their students to interact in a live capacity and put the remote real-time collaboration through synchronous exchange of digitised student work to good use.
