As part of the eTwinning Writing is Fun project, a virtual meeting was held between students of Institut Dertosa and Escola Francisco Franco in Madeira on Thursday, March 20. This dynamic online session provided an invaluable opportunity for students from both institutions to connect across borders, practice their English skills, and foster cross-cultural understanding.
During the meeting, the participants actively exchanged their views on various school-related topics, offering insight into the similarities and differences between their educational systems, daily routines, and extracurricular activities. These conversations encouraged the students to reflect on their own experiences while gaining a broader perspective of international education.
In addition to discussing academic matters, the session delved into personal attitudes and cultural curiosities, creating an open and enjoyable environment for all involved. The students shared their hobbies, personal goals, and aspirations, allowing for a more profound sense of connection and camaraderie between the groups. The interactive format ensured that everyone had the chance to contribute, ask questions, and learn from one another, making the experience not only educational but also entertaining and memorable.
This virtual collaboration exemplifies the values at the heart of the eTwinning Writing is Fun project: promoting language learning, encouraging intercultural dialogue, and building strong, meaningful ties among young people across Europe. The meeting was a testament to the power of technology in breaking down barriers and connecting students, even from different corners of the continent.
