1. Title: “Scriitori pentru eternitate/Writers for Eternity”
2. Context/Argument
“Scriitori pentru eternitate/Writers for Eternity” is an educational partnership facilitating the exchange of experience and best practices among lower secondary schools and upper secondary schools located in Buzău county in the 2025-2026 school year.
3. Main objectives
of the project and purpose of the competition
The project seeks
not only to leverage the students’ intellectual potential, creativity, and
interest in reading, thus supporting the future graduates who will participate
in national exams in English through both formal and non-formal activities, but
also to inspire a passion for reading, and cultivate respect and love for female
writers and literature in the extended school communities.
The literary competition aims at improving the literary performance and cultural awareness and expression competence of the participants by acquiring new knowledge about the three English writers, using various materials, digital resources and information based on their main literary themes, developing critical and self-critical thinking, and enhancing multilingual competence, emotional intelligence and communication skills in English.
4. Eligibility, target age groups and registration
Participants: the
competition is open to students from all registered schools within Buzău county, without discrimination, in the spirit of inclusion, equity and
cooperation.
Age groups: the
participants will be divided into categories based on their age or grade level
to ensure fair competition.
-
Lower Secondary Level: Grades 5-8
-
Upper Secondary Level: Grades 9-12
Coordinators: the
coordinating teachers will select at least one class of students from each
partner school to participate in all the project activities – not only in the
final interschool competition on literary topics - and will provide evidence to
the coordinating school for the implementation of the project activities.
Entry forms: each teacher will submit a completed participation form https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h3XE9u_aGjZDZ6OkTenhu4SmJFlQICid/view?usp=sharing for each of the finalists selected to take part in the competition, via e-mail ( ltrvp@yahoo.com ) , before 31 March 2026.
5. The Interschool
Competition on Literary Topics will take place on 24 April 2026.
The participants
will demonstrate a clear understanding of literary terms, genres, and concepts,
as well as familiarity with the three key authors promoted during the project,
including their literary themes, characters, and historical context https://digipad.app/p/1582971/a9556baabbdaa8. Additionally,
they are expected to have knowledge of the three authors featured in the
project, including their biographies, writing styles, and contributions to
world literature.
The main activity
of the project involves the organizing of a literary-themed competition in
English. The competition will include various types of questions: objective
items (e.g., multiple choice, dual choice, matching); semi-objective items
(e.g., short-answer or completion tasks); subjective items (e.g., short
essay-style responses).
These tasks are
designed to evaluate the participants’ cognitive
abilities at a higher level of complexity. The competition will assess both the
participants’ knowledge of the featured writers and selected works and the
skills they have improved through the prior activities conducted as part of the
project.
