The main topic of the webinar was how to establish a successful cooperation within eTwinning. At this event, experienced, long-time members of the network, eTwinning Ambassadors, Olgica Spasojević and Dalibor Todorović, winners of the annual eTwinning Project Prizes, presented their experiences about eTwinning projects.
In 2024, the National eTwinning Prizes were awarded for the first time to the highest quality eTwinning projects carried out in the previous school year. Teacher Olgica Spasojević, Primary School “Petar Leković” in Požega, was awarded the national eTwinning award for the project “Olympic games through SDGs and podcasts”, for the age of 12 to 15 (in the category of upper grades of primary school). Teacher Dalibor Todorović, High School “9th May” in Niš, was awarded the National eTwinning Award for the project “Ardubots RACE – Robotics Arduino Challenge in Europe”, for the age of 16 to 19 (in the category of secondary schools and high schools). These awards were given to these projects because they stood out for their active cooperation with partners, innovative and purposeful application of ICT tools (information and communication technologies) and sustainable project results.
Ms. Anita Bačinski Trajković opened this webinar and welcomed all attendees on behalf of the Tempus Foundation, the eTwinning National Support Service. She also thanked the attendees and emphasized the great interest in this webinar.
During her presentation and presentation of the project for which she received the national eTwinning award, Ms. Olgica Spasojević spoke about all the elements of a quality project, namely: cooperation, partners, innovation, flexibility, safe environment, active participation of pupils, ICT tools and products, i.e. project results. She explained each element in detail on the example of her project.
In his presentation, Mr. Dalibor Todorović emphasized the importance of motivation and ideas for the project, then the importance of partners and communication and cooperation. He spoke about the establishment of work rules and the work process, as well as activities and results, explaining everything on the example of his project.
Both teachers emphasized the importance, within the management of these projects, of common goals with partners, as well as the importance of evaluating results, which implies that results must be measurable. The importance of dissemination of results was particularly emphasized and the importance of sustainability in these projects was emphasized, in the sense that the projects themselves are sustainable, and that they are directed towards the Sustainable Development Goals.
