    Yubinn Hong (Seoul, South Korea)

    Hi! I am Yunbinn from Seoul, South Korea. I teach English and I am really interested in education for sustainable development and global citizenship. That's why every single project that my students work on this journey means a lot to us. Since COVID 19, my students still take turns to get to school. At this moment we can have up to two thirds of students, which means that students take turns to get to school. Although things are not easy for every one, I am so glad to join this project with all the wonderful partners around the world. : )

    Hello to old and new partners!!!
    I’m Anastasia, I teach English in a junior secondary school in Valmontone (about 40 km south of Rome, Italy). My students are aged 11-14 and I’m sure they will be eager to get in touch with new European friends and celebrate together international days and share positive values and ideas for a better world. I am happy to collaborate with you all and I firmly believe that Etwinning is a fantastic opportunity for students and teachers to make new and exciting experiences. I can't wait to start this new adventure!!!
    Thank you for inviting me❤❤

This year I teach three different classes: fisrt graders (they take up all my energy)- 6-7 years old, seven graders- 13 years old, eight graders- 14 years old.

    Patrick Schmitz (Nideggen, Germany)

    Hi, my name is Patrick, I am 35 years old and I work at Sekundarschule Kreuzau/Nideggen (in Nideggen), where I teach the subjects English and History mainly. I have my own, new class 5. I am currently writing my doctoral thesis (in my limited free time) about the worlds of fantasy literature. I was born in Aachen, which many know due to Charlemagne, and live close by, but every workday, I drive to Nideggen, because I like the school, kids and - of course - the green Eifel region. Apart from that I like cooking, yoga (my two strategies to not go nuts during lockdown and stressful periods), travelling (especially in GB and Scandinavia) and gardening. I have never done anything big on eTwinning before (apart from some LEs). I am looking forward to establishing some ties to other schools and colleagues.

    Elif Gökarık ( İstanbul, Türkiye )

    Hi! My name is Elif. I am 32 years old. I really like sports such as skiing and cycling. Travelling, discovering new places and trying something new my favourites. For 10 years I have been teaching English in İstanbul, Türkiye. This is my second year in my new school Piri Reis Ortaokulu. It is located in Ataşehir. I really like to teach. Like some of you I have been going to school since I was 6. with a bit changes :) eTwinning projects are like oxygen masks because education system can be monotone sometime.. Projects make the students excited and eager to use language skills in everyday life. I’d like to use different kinda teaching styles&methods and to know new people and get in touch with my colleagues. A key word creativity that broaden my horizon also provides an opportunity to be a lifelong learner.

    Agnieszka Muszer, Poland

    Hello. I am an English teacher from Poland. My school is an a small town Łaziska Górne in the south of Poland. The school isn't very big, there about 250 students from 7 to 14 years old. I have been a teacher there for over 20 years. My students are 10 to 14 years old however before the change in education system a few years ago I taught a bit older students. I am still getting used to teaching so young students. This is my second eTwinning project and I believe it will be a great adventure for me and my students. We are all very excited! Privately I love travelling, meeting people from different countries, reading books and watching films.

I can't imagine my lessons without ETwinning and I try to motivate my students to be very active in eTwinning projects! I love working on e-twinning projects because I learn new techniques, approaches, skills, web tools and meet new colleagues from different countries-that brings a new dimension to my teaching career. I wish all of you a successful and happy school year.
