This year for the second time, we are taking part in an international project with two other European high schools with our English teacher, Mrs Mottey. But this time, we only work with Cyprus and Slovakia. This e-twinning project is just for our group of European section. So, the whole school year we are going to share our project with both classes on the platform of exchange for European schools, the twinspace. It is safe and we can only use this network for our current school project. We have got passwords and usernames to be connected to our completed profiles, with pictures of ourselves and our own description just like in another social network. Last year; we worked on ‘’Employability beyond diploma’’ whereas this year the topic is “ How to boost a child self-esteem ? ” So when we have got our chat session on Tuesday evenings every other weeks we can talk about it only in English as the only means of communication even if none of us are native speakers. Beside, in class we are writing a script about a story we have all imagined in a collaborative writing work in order to film a play by the end of June. The synopsis? Someone lacking self-esteem will let the spectators pondering over the causes and consequences of low self-esteem and offer solutions. At the end we will try to make our own movie. Everyone in Mrs Mottey’s English group will take part in it. Finally we will share it on e-twinning. It is an exciting collaborative work in which all the students can improve their levels in English as well as develop their skills in new technologies. Of course, we can also enrich our citizen minds through that experience.
