Un pont culturel entre la Tunisie et la Sicile : Une rencontre inoubliable grâce à eTwinning

 

   

       Le projet Pays de la mer Méditerranée et leur patrimoine commun a été une expérience unique. Pour la première fois dans l’histoire d’eTwinning en Tunisie, les élèves ont pu se voir réellement et échanger. La rencontre est inoubliable. Les élèves du lycée Bachir Nabhani de Hammam-Lif et les élèves du lycée hôtelier "Ignazio et Vincenzo Florio" di Erice Sicilia, Italie, ont participé à plusieurs activités qui les ont rapprochés en mettant en avant des éléments communs de leur patrimoine comme la cuisine, les traditions, la musique...

   Les objectifs du projet ont été atteints. En effet, à travers leur collaboration en ligne, les élèves ont été sensibilisés à la richesse et la diversité du patrimoine méditerranéen tout en explorant les spécificités de chaque culture. Par la communication en présentiel ou en ligne, ils ont renforcé leurs compétences linguistiques et numériques (TIC).

  Le projet a également été couronné par l’obtention d’un label de qualité, reconnaissant ainsi l’excellence de la collaboration interculturelle et les efforts déployés pour promouvoir les objectifs du développement durable (ODD).

  Les élèves ont été sensibilisés aux pratiques touristiques responsables en s’initiant aux ODD. Les recherches sur l’histoire de la Tunisie et de la Sicile ont créé des liens entre générations : les jeunes ont recueilli des témoignages d’immigrés sur les deux rives. Ce dialogue interculturel renforce la tolérance dans une région historiquement marquée par les échanges mais aussi les conflits.

  Ils ont collaboré pour la création du site et partagé leur expérience exceptionnelle, une aventure qui a non seulement rapproché des jeunes de deux pays, mais qui a aussi laissé un impact durable à travers la reconnaissance du label de qualité.

Ramadan Donation Campaign in collaboration with the Red Crescent of Hammam Al-anf

     The learners collaborate with others to empower individuals and communities to affect change in the distribution of resources in the community. The learners show sensitivity to the issues of poverty, hunger and malnutrition; they also show their empathy and solidarity with poor people, the hungry, the malnourished and those in vulnerable situation. The students plan and implement activities that contribute to reducing poverty in their community. To attain those aims the students plan and run a donation campaign for the profit of poor families in collaboration with the red crescent. The design posters , create mottos and slogans and choose the best for the campaign, they contact the red crescent and inform and solicit the participation of their schoolmates and school teachers and staff. They inform the community through one to one talks or social media, or the radio. 

     Nabhani's students had a role in extending the bridge of cooperation and synergy and embodying the values of active citizenship by organizing the Ramadan campaign. The students in cooperation with the local branch of the Red Crescent in Hammam Al-Anf collect donations and deliver them to the headquarters of the Crescent, which in turn takes care of distribution to those who deserve it. In this publication, we express our thanks to everyone who organized and contributed to this campaign, including students, parents, educational staff and our students for their effective contribution to the success of this initiative, and our special thanks to the subsidiary body of the Red Crescent in Hammam Al-anf

One... Two ... eTwinning National Prizes!

Two of the eTwinning projects of 2021 and 2022 were awarded with an eTwinning National Prize. The projects are:

•  "Non à la discrimination" founded by Sonia Souai and 
• "Our Sustainable Holiday Trip" founded by Hayfa Majdoub and Imen Taktak

The two projects involved two teachers as the founders and 2 classes; the 3rd year Math and 3 year Sciences. They worked as one Team. Some students were even involved in the two projects with their teacher. And the results were so satisfying for both the teachers and the students. Here are a few pictures of the rewarding ceremony during the etwinning National Conference that was held in December 2022, in Hammamet, Tunisia. Our heartfelt congratulations to the teachers and the students for their achievements!
