On 23 March 2022, the eighteen 8th graders involved in the eTwinning project "Împreună pentru profilul absolventului/Together for the Graduate Profile", as well as their teachers of Romanian and English (Mrs. Adelaida Loredana Iorga and Mrs. Claudia Emilia Frînculeasă), celebrated the International Day of Happiness 2022 with original, collaborative posters.
The project-based learning activities developed the students' 21st century skills, especially the 4 C's of 21st Century Skills: Critical thinking: Finding solutions to problems; Creativity: Thinking outside the box; Collaboration: Working with others; Communication: Talking to others.
Moreover, the teachers were able to assess the students' linguistic, social and civic potential, their emotional well-being and individual attitudes toward the main topic of the project and identify their strong points and vulnerabilities as well as their further educational needs.
Last, but not least, the transdisciplinary lesson was related to several communicative functions from the English language curriculum for the 8th grade: expressing cause-effect relationships, articulating perspectives, quoting, reporting events. expressing opinions, advice, recommendations, expectations, wishes, preferences, suggestions etc.
