At our school, we recently had the pleasure of hosting four distinguished teachers from Lamia, Greece, as part of our and theirs ongoing Erasmus Accreditation. This exciting job shadowing activity was an opportunity by CCD Ialomita for both our high school and visiting teachers to engage in enriching educational experiences and exchange innovative teaching practices. The visiting teachers—Gkoumas Efthymios, Zarkadoukas Paraskevas, Chaintouti Vasiliki, and Makrantoni Athanasia—immersed themselves in various classroom settings, observing and participating in lessons across different subjects and grade levels.
The Role of Erasmus Accreditation in Promoting International Collaboration
Our Erasmus Accreditation aims to foster international cooperation, professional development, and cultural exchange among teachers from different countries. The goal is to enable educators to share knowledge, teaching strategies, and best practices that benefit both students and the wider educational community. By hosting teachers from Lamia, Greece, we were able to deepen our understanding of different educational approaches and create lasting professional relationships.

Quality in eTwinning Projects – A Presentation at "Dumbrava Minunata" Kindergarten
At "Dumbrava Minunata" Kindergarten, teachers gathered to discuss how to improve the quality of eTwinning projects. eTwinning helps schools work together across Europe, but it's important to ensure the projects are meaningful and well-organized.
The main idea shared was that quality starts with clear goals. When teachers set clear learning objectives, students know what to focus on, making the project more effective. Quality also comes from ensuring students actively participate and are engaged in the project. Digital tools play a big role here too. Using online platforms lets students share ideas easily, and teachers can offer feedback and track progress.
The session at the kindergarten emphasized that quality eTwinning projects help students learn better, work together, and understand different cultures. Teachers left with new tools and ideas to make their projects more successful.
Digital Tools in eTwinning – A Presentation at "Ionel Perlea" High School
At "Ionel Perlea" High School, a second presentation focused on the digital tools used in eTwinning projects. These tools make it easier for students and teachers to work together and create projects.
Tools like Padlet, Google Classroom, Canva, and Kahoot help students collaborate, share ideas, and create projects. These tools also help students develop important digital skills like problem-solving, communication, and creativity. The presentation showed how using video conferencing tools like Zoom helps students from different countries work together in real time.Teachers also benefit from digital tools because they can track students’ progress, adjust lessons, and create personalized learning experiences.
Both presentations highlighted the importance of quality and digital tools in eTwinning projects. Quality projects have clear goals and involve active student participation, while digital tools help students develop key skills and collaborate effectively. These activities show how eTwinning projects can provide meaningful learning experiences and help students grow in a digital world.

European projects offer teachers and students incredible opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and grow beyond the borders of their own classrooms. To support educators in making the most of these opportunities, I recently held an eTwinning workshop in Ialomița, where teachers gathered to learn about the process of obtaining Quality Labels and European Labels for their projects.
The session, organized by Mrs. Simona Tont, European projects inspector and Mrs. Nicoleta Turcea, director at Gradinita Dumbrava Minunata aimed to provide practical guidance on designing and implementing high-quality eTwinning projects that align with European standards. I was there as the eTwinning ambassador of my county and I had the opportunity to explore essential aspects of the eTwinning projects such as:
Setting clear objectives – defining the project's purpose and expected learning outcomes.
Effective collaboration – engaging students and teachers from partner schools in meaningful activities.
Innovative use of digital tools – integrating technology to enhance interaction and creativity.
Project evaluation and impact measurement – ensuring that projects meet quality criteria and bring tangible benefits to participants.
I also presented the criteria used by National Support Services (NSS) and Central Support Services (CSS) when awarding Quality Labels.
By understanding these requirements, teachers can confidently develop projects that not only engage students but also stand out for their educational value. Receiving a Quality Label is not just about recognition—it’s a validation of the teacher’s effort, an encouragement for students, and a motivator for further European collaborations. Schools that consistently receive Quality Labels can also apply for the prestigious European Quality Label, a distinction that highlights outstanding projects at an international level.
The enthusiasm and curiosity of the participating teachers were truly inspiring. Many of them are already involved in eTwinning or considering starting their first projects. With the right guidance and support, I have no doubt that their projects will flourish and achieve well-deserved recognition.
I am excited to see their ideas come to life and to continue supporting educators in their journey toward excellence in European projects!
