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!

ASPIRING FOR EXCELLENCE : A SHARED SCHOOL LEADERSHIP PLAN

It has been demonstrated that a shared school leadership can help build a strong and effective school community, where all stakeholders have a voice and feel invested in the success of the school. That is why we thought of establishing a school leadership plan to implement in the next two years.

1. Collaborative Decision Making: Creating a culture of collaboration and shared responsibility among all members of the school community, including administrators, teachers, staff, students, and families.

2. Clear Roles and Responsibilities: Defining and communicating the roles and responsibilities of all stakeholders, including administrators, teachers, staff, students, and families, in the decision-making process.

3. Professional Development: Providing ongoing professional development opportunities for all members of the school community, to help build the skills and knowledge needed for effective shared leadership.

4. Communication and Transparency: Establishing clear and open channels of communication among all stakeholders, to ensure that everyone is informed and involved in the decision-making process.

5. Continuous Improvement: Encouraging a culture of continuous improvement, by setting clear goals and regularly evaluating progress, and making adjustments as needed.

6. Empowerment: Empowering all members of the school community to take ownership of their roles and responsibilities, and to actively contribute to the decision-making process.

7. Encourage and reward initiative: Encourage and reward initiative, creativity, and leadership among students, staff and teachers.

8. Inclusion and equity : Foster an inclusive and equitable school culture, valuing and respecting all voices in the school community.

9. Celebrate Successes: Celebrating successes and sharing best practices among all members of the school community, to foster a sense of collective responsibility and ownership.

10. Evaluation: Regularly evaluating the shared leadership plan, gather feedback, and make adjustments as needed to improve the plan.

With shared school leadership, all members of the school community have a say and feel invested in the school's success, resulting in a strong and efficient school community. To achieve this, it is important to have a continuous effort and dedication from all stakeholders and to frequently evaluate the plan to confirm its effectiveness.

No to Discrimination eTwinning Project

 

The Science and Maths third grade students took part in an interdisciplinary , bilingual eTwinning project dealing with fighting different forms of discriminations . There was a quality exchange between all the students from Bachir Nabheni High school and their peers from other schools in France, Romania and Italy. The project is both in French and English. 

"Non à la discrimination" No to Discrimination  project aims to be interdisciplinary, unifying and effective.

Through the activities, we want to bring the students to:

• become aware of the seriousness of discrimination,
• become familiar with collective projects and strengthen their sense of belonging to a large heterogeneous community by developing the notions of diversity and solidarity through several ideas: games, screenings, group actions, etc.
• become future good, respectful citizens who act actively to fight against unfair practices and communicate human values ​​such as mutual aid, the rejection of prejudices and inequalities.
• have a sense of commitment to solidarity actions.
• be sensitive to the duty of memory by studying the history of characters who fought discrimination in their time through personal or collective actions.
• learn to unmask discriminatory practices.
• use as many  ICT tools as possible provided by the eTwinning platform or elsewhere.

The different activities of the project were rich and culminated in the creation of a card game to help inform learners and people who play it in general about the fight against discrimination of many people nowadays and history. 

Bravo to our students and to their peers from the other partner schools. Below is our card game have fun discovering it!

Our Sustainable Holiday Trip

   

Like every year our students get involved in eTwinning projects. Our sustainable Holiday Trip is a multidisciplinary project including schools from Tunisia, Italy and Romania. The idea of the project revolves around the theme of Sustainable Holidaying. Holidaying is a well-thought of enterprise. As such, we need to make the right choices and decisions. We should not only take in consideration our budget, our interests and needs but also think of the impact our activity may have on the climate, the environment and the planet . That’s why in our project “Our Sustainable Holiday Trip” our purpose is to foster a sustainability mindset by helping the students develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to think, plan and act with empathy, responsibility, and care for our planet through the theme of holidaying. The 3rd grade maths  students with their partners   will thoughtfully design sustainable holiday brochures or videos collaboratively.

The project aims at the students to : 

• gain knowledge about the SDGs by investigating the aspects of sustainability in general and in the context of a holiday trip in particular
• examine the values and behaviours that will contribute to a sustainable future
• create a plan for a sustainable holiday trip as a way to act for a sustainable future
• develop English language skills
• develop life skills of collaboration, communication , critical thinking, problem-solving, flexibility, and self-regulation
• develop and foster the students digital competence
• learn to learn , to manage one's learning and to think critically
