The International Online Conference "True Global Projects which Inspire Hope" - GEW 2025

On November 24, 2025, we had the privilege of participating in the international conference True Global Education Projects Which Inspire Hope, a remarkable event organized online by the Montenegrin Bureau for Education Services of the Ministry of Education, Science and Innovation. Dedicated to Global Education Week 2025, the conference brought together passionate educators, project leaders, and students from across Europe, more specifically from Montenegro, Romania, Turkey and Estonia, all united under a shared mission - Shaping a Just, Peaceful and Sustainable Future.

It was within this inspiring framework that we proudly promoted our high school, Liceul Teretic "Radu Vlădescu", as a high-quality, student-centered provider of education, a place where supportive and inclusive environments empower young people to grow into active, responsible global citizens. We had the chance to demonstrate how we strive to turn hope into action every day, reminding the international audience that meaningful education is not only taught, but lived.

Throughout the conference sessions and discussions, we highlighted the values that guide our daily work - the belief that every learner deserves to be heard, supported, and inspired. We presented our school not just as an institution, but as a community of opportunity, where curiosity is nurtured, responsibility is encouraged, and the future is shaped one idea at a time.

A central part of our contribution was the dissemination of the activities we developed for Global Education Week, the 2022, 2023, and 2024 editions, which encouraged our students to reflect on global challenges, sustainability, equity, and peace. We proudly shared digital materials, student reflections, and a collaborative poem, written as a unified voice of hope. This poem became a symbolic reminder that when students think, create, and connect, they become catalysts for change.

Our participation also allowed us to present insights and outcomes from our job shadowing mobility in Krakow, developed through the Erasmus project 2025-1-RO01-KA121-SCH-000321135. This international experience enriched our team of teachers allowing us to absorb new methodologies, exchange perspectives, and integrate successful digital practices into our own educational environment. We highlighted how Erasmus mobilities break barriers, broaden minds, and strengthen collaboration across borders.

Alongside our Erasmus accomplishments, our 11th grade student Stancu Beatrice Laura Maria, an enthusiastic eTwinner, introduced three ongoing educational initiatives that reflect our school’s commitment to international collaboration, pedagogical innovation, student empowerment, creative learning and sustainability:

A Song for Our Souls in an English-Speaking World - an international partnership encouraging self-expression, language development, and cultural connection through music and performance.

BookFest 2026 - a bilateral project and a celebration of literature, imagination, and multilingual exploration.

EcoDigital Explorers for Sustainability - an eTwinning project encouraging environmentally conscious thinking, innovation, and global responsibility.

Each eTwinning project illustrates how we turn ideals into action, how we transform hope into tangible experiences that prepare students not only for exams, but for life.

Our participation in this international event strengthened our belief that education is a powerful tool for shaping a better tomorrow. The conference was a testament to what can be achieved when educators, students, and institutions join forces across borders, united by purpose and vision and, as a result, we are now more inspired, connected, and deeply motivated to continue our mission: to empower our students to shape a brighter, more equitable, and sustainable future. Hope, after all, thrives where action lives - and in our school, hope is alive every day.
