The eTwinpreneurs 2020 eTwinning Project

About the eTwinpreneurs

   The etwinpreneurs is an eTwinning interdisciplinary project involving the participation of 7 schools from 6 countries in Europe and the Mena region. IIS P. Sraffa from Italy, Om Aldardaa Secondary School for girls from Jordan, Colegiul National "Nichita Stanescu”, Ploiesti from Romania, SABEL Schule from Germany, Salgótarjáni Bolyai János Gimnázium from Hungary. The Tunisian Team includes 3 teachers (Mrs Hayfa Majdoub, Mrs Sonia Souai, and Mrs Raja Sassi) and their students from Lycée Bachir Nabheni in Hammam-lif and Mrs Ines Messelmani and her students from Lycée AbdelAziz Khouja in Kélibia. 

     In addition to developing the students English language skills, the project aims at developing the students’ entrepreneurial knowledge, skills, and attitudes. Through the different pedagogical approaches deployed and the various activities in the project, the teachers intend to provide opportunities for collaboration, effective communication through real context and problem solving situations for their students integrating the above mentioned skills to the core subjects involved in the project. 

    The project was launched in October 2019 by Hayfa Majdoub (Tunisia) and her cofounder Mariella Brunazzi (Italy) both teachers of English. The project ended in May with a successful online campaign organized by the students on different social media channels. The activities of the project went on all year long, yet, the Coronavirus crisis has been a factor for change in the planned activities but keeping the same scope of developing the students entrepreneurial ventures. A recently published newsletter of the project final products is a summary of the activities that the students took part in or collaborated internationally to achieve them. 

    The students and the teachers primarily used the Twinspace , the eTwinning safe working place, they communicated and collaborated through other various web tools such as Microsoft Teams, Google Hangout. They also used discussion groups on messenger and facebook groups. Moreover, they wrote emails and created videos, they created posters collaboratively wrote a script for a collaborative video. The learning activities involved the students, their family members and friends through sharing tips on how to be positive during the quarantine. But they also involved students and people with special needs both from their schools, different schools or from the civil society.

The Ministry of Education organised, on the 23rd of November 2020, a study day at the International Language Center, LAC where students, teachers, and specialists in psychology, sociology, NGOs, Internet security experts gathered to discuss the hot issues of students and the use of social media. The students shared their experiences on how they use social media. The participant experts stressed the hazardous effects of excessive social media use.
