Our eTwinning Projects

Good-manners education begins in the early years of childhood and is of great importance for children’s social and emotional development. In a European context, children learn that values such as politeness, respect and empathy are universal. The way these values are expressed may vary from culture to culture, but the message is the same: they help us live and work together in harmony. In the eTwinning project “Bridging Cultures Through Etiquette,” carried out with partner schools from Romania, Türkiye and Italy and co-founded by our school, our Grade 7 and Grade 2 students set out to build bridges between cultures by exploring the codes of conduct of different countries. Through international collaboration, the children discovered that expressions such as “please,” “thank you” and “sorry,” together with respectful gestures, form a universal language that brings us closer no matter our cultural differences. The experience raised their awareness and helped them become more attentive, kind and understanding.

This is an inspiring international eTwinning project that brings students together through stories, culture, creativity and shared values. Pupils from different countries explored traditional tales, legends and favourite heroes from books, films and cartoons while improving their English communication and digital competences. In collaborative activities involving Grade 6 students of Private 22nd Century Schools, the children created posters, presentations, comics, videos and a shared eBook. They imagined themselves as superheroes, talked about fears and courage, promoted kindness, and discovered how ordinary people can become real heroes in everyday life. The project nurtures friendship, empathy, intercultural understanding and teamwork, while also developing key 21st-century skills such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration and the responsible use of digital tools. By sharing their stories and experiences, students learned that although they come from different countries, they share common dreams, emotions and hopes. Together, they built bridges beyond borders and discovered that every child has a voice, every story matters and every student can be a hero.
