The eTwinning project ''All Together for a Global Celebration'' - the results of the final evaluation forms (class 7B - Romania)

The eTwinning project "All Together for a Global Celebration" brought together primary and lower-secondary pupils from Romania and Greece to explore international observances and promote proactive citizenship through collaborative, creative activities on the European School Education Platform. 

In May 2025, the twenty-four Romanian pupils enrolled in class 7B at Liceul Teoretic "Radu Vlădescu" in Pătârlagele filled in the final evaluation survey, providing feedback and valuable insights into the impact of the project activities on their learning and personal development.

The eTwinning initiative focused on three global observances: the International Day of Acceptance (20 January 2025), Random Acts of Kindness Day (17 February 2025) and the International Day of Forests (21 March 2025), and, in order to deepen their understanding of these themes and foster values such as empathy, solidarity, and environmental responsibility, the project participants engaged in various activities, including multimedia presentations, digital storytelling, cross-curricular lessons, and collaborative work.

The final evaluation revealed that the following project objectives were achieved by the participants:

• building strong value systems based on friendship, peace, acceptance, kindness, empathy, solidarity, respect, environmental protection etc. - 23 participants (95,8%);
• gaining a deeper understanding of the cultural, social, environmental and civic significance of three global celebrations - 17 participants (70,8%);
• developing multilingual, digital, civic and personal competences and 21st century skills (creativity, critical thinking, teamwork etc.) - 16 participants (66,7%);
• practising international collaboration, intercultural dialogue and an authentic exchange of good practices - 16 participants (66,7%).
