On December 14th, over 75 teachers, students, school managers and decision-makers from the Republic of Moldova met at the 2019 eTwinning Plus Moldova Annual Conference “Success and performance in implementing eTwinning projects” to view the results of the hard work, the performances recorded by the teachers who are members of the eTwinning platform, but also to encourage and stimulate the promotion of the platform and the qualitative participation in eTwinning projects by rewarding the most passionate and involved members.
The event was opened by Mr. Viorel Bostan, Rector of UTM, who welcomed those present, noting that he appreciates the involvement of teachers in the eTwinning program, as they are those who form the generations that are about to step on the threshold of higher institutions. He emphasized that eTwinning is a program with a different approach than the traditional one and very close to the current needs of the country because it comes to actually solve problems and to implement didactic approaches, such as transdisciplinarity, which form the necessary skills for students to use in their future career and in their everyday life. Mr. Rector finished with wishing good luck to those involved in eTwinning.
The eTwinning program is implemented in the Republic of Moldova in partnership with the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research of the Republic of Moldova, the representative from the ministry’s management team present at the event was Mrs. Olesea Ciobanu. Ms Ciobanu announced that the Ministry of Education, Culture and Research will continue to support the implementation of the eTwinning program in the Republic of Moldova – a program that contributes to the strengthening and improvement of the education system in the country, an instrument that exploits the pedagogical potential and promotes good educational practices for developing the skills necessary for the 21st century. Mrs. Ciobanu wished all eTwinners good luck and the enthusiasm necessary for continuing to promote these noble intentions.
