Sharing knowledge about cultural heritage and discussing about the criteria for the students'selections
One part of our LTT activity was dedicated to present Milan and one of the evening the principal and some teachers of the IIS Machiavelli together with the guests from Romania and Greece took part in a concert at La Scala theatre.
Thanks to this meeting the participating teachers could
- acquire knowledge about the management of the eTwinning projects
- acquire the knowledge and the competencies about the themes of the project which are essential to guide the pupils in its implementation.
The great value of these kind of meeting is to come to life matters like team spirit, making friends, learning from each other.
All the participants had some days off their usual routines back home; they met motivated colleagues from other countries, they challenged their English knowledge, being not their mother tongue, they reflected the project they will dedicate quite some in the next two years. Bearing that, they will provide this to their colleagues at home and will work as ambassadors of the project in their home schools.
