The event aimed at stimulating the students' reading skills and developing feelings of admiration and appreciation for mothers while educating the feelings of maternal love and gratitude through literary creations in English and imaginary forays into the students' favourite literary works.
The most popular portraits of mothers were: Mrs. March, from Little Women by Louisa May Alcott; Mrs. Ramsay, from To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf; Mrs. Dashwood, from Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen; Mrs. Joan Durbeyfield, from Tess of the d'Urbervilles by Thomas Hardy; Mrs. Bennett, from Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen and Mrs. Hester Prynne, from Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
In January 2021, the 5 Romanian students involved in the eTwinning project "Focus on Europe" conducted interviews with their grandparents. The aim of this task was to explore how a better European community can be built, by benefitting from the experiences, hopes and fears of the elderly and by reflecting, together, on what can be learned from the past, the present, from different generations and what we could all do together for a better future. Here are the questions they asked:
Q1: When and where were you born?
Q2: What do you like most of all about our country?
Q3: What do you think about when you hear the word ”Europe”?
Q4: Have you ever travelled abroad? If YES, where, when and what was the purpose of your visit?
Q5: What do you think is the most important historical event you have witnessed so far? Why?
Q6: What is your opinion about Romania’s status as a member of the European Union?
Q7: What do you appreciate the most about your life now, especially in contrast with your childhood?
Q8: What life advice do you have for the younger generations of Europeans?
Q9: What are your wishes for the members of the eTwinning project ”Focus
on Europe”?
