    3rd live event 16th March 2020.docx

    Although we are confined at home due to the disappointing situation caused by the coronavirus, our spirit is still positive and we have enthusiasm to keep going with our SDGs Action!

    Twinspace is an excellent tool to keep in touch, to keep working and let our students demonstrate that technologies are a great support for our common learning.

    Agreements of the live event

     

    Mobilities options:

     

    France has received a letter from the NA saying that the projects can be postponed for 6 months

    It seems that a letter from the European Commission is going to be sent informing that projects can last one year more due to the coronavirus situation.

     

    We will wait and decide later on according to our countries instructions

     

    Online event-webinar to share good practices about SDGs

    The idea is to create a kind of webinar where all etwinners from Europe could join and listen to 4 teachers sharing good practices about integrating SDGs in schools.

    This will be a good way for our project to spread the message of SDGs across Europe

     

    - Silvia knows a teacher who could share good experiences: Giovanni Di Feo: http://www.greenopoli.it/home/e-giovanni-de-feo-lambientalista-dellanno-2018. Ambientalista de l’anno 2018!

    - Sophia Kouzouli , we will ask her too

    - Yvonne could be another possible contact.

     

    Possible dates: pending ! we will set up the date after Giovanni's answer

    It should be nice for next week or in two weeks time.

     

    SDGs box game

     

    -Cards: 8'5 cm square

    - 5 Cards for each SDG = 85 cards

    - Front part: image with some info

    - Back: 6 questions

     

    Ester and Fina will prepare an example and share with the participants just to have a clearer idea of how to prepare the game when we go back to schools.

     

    Women who changed the world

     

    • An email will be sent to all participants inviting them to suggest our students to do some tasks at home, via online, as our twinspace allows to keep working and connected!
    • As for the interviews, we will try one Erasmus country with one non Erasmus country, but in case this is not possible we will manage to organize the interviews among the Erasmus countries ( in pairs)

    8th April 2020

     

     

    COVID-19 has stopped and changed the whole project plan.

     

    Project partners meet to discuss about possbile actions to do from now on.

    Everybocy is lockdown at home, so the LTTA in France in may has been cancelled and everybody agrees taht is will be risky to keep in mind the LTTA in Bulgaria in October. it is too early to make a decision.

    Our agreements are:

    - We will meet again at the end of the school year and we will put in balnace how things go at the moment all over the world with coronavirus.

    - we will plan a new schedule for the project, even for the pending mobilities

    - After that, we will send an official communication to our national Agencies to apply for a new deadline for the project ( we will decide if 6 or 12 months)

    - In the meantime, we will try to do all our best from home. We will try to keep in touch with our pupils so that they can do some tasks on twinspace about the eTwinning project " Women who changed the world", SDG5

    - Some of the tasks that can be done at home are: participate in the forums, some of the transnational team tasks planned to do by each country, participate with messages for our partners on the Padlet created due to the " istayathome" campaign.
