В началото на 2013-2014 учебна година ученици от V и VІ клас от ОУ "Св. Св. Кирил и Методий" с. Зараево започнаха работа по е-Туининг проект "Happy European Day of Languages", свързан с Европейския ден на езиците - 26 септември. Като част от дейностите по проекта учениците изработиха и изпратиха поздравителни картички до всички 43 училища-партньори от Хърватия, Англия, Франция, Гърция, Италия, Ирландия, Латвия, Полша, Румъния, Шотландия, Словения и Испания.
"Let's discover Europe" e-twinning project 2012-2013
- Information:
Students from all over Europe (some of them Special Needs students) exchange information about their respective countries, using a question-and-answer game. Once all the data has been collected, each country creates an ID card about a partner country; all the ID cards, built on a common template to allow unity, are collected to end up with an online booklet presenting Europe (Europe is understood here as European Union + a few volunteer countries not belonging to EU (yet).)
- Duration: September 2012 - May 2013
- Partners: France, Poland Greece Italy Germany Spain Croatia Bulgaria Turkey Slovakia Cyprus England Austria Norway Lithuania Czech Republic Belarus Belgium The Netherlands Latvia Malta Finland Slovenia Sweden
- Tools to be used:
e-mail, Forum, MP3, Other software (Powerpoint, video, pictures and drawings), Twinspace, jigsawplanet, Voki, Communitywalk, GoogleDocs, Slideshare, Prezi, Smilebox, Wallwisher, Animoto, Picturetrail, Photopeach ...
- Aims:
The students use English as a means of communication. They learn the basic facts about all the countries of Europe, using one another's answers to create their booklet about Europe. They use quite a lot of varied ICT tools (forums, wikis, online survey, online jigsaw puzzles, photo / video montages, onlipe maps ...)
- Work process:
The two founders were in charge of reminding all the members of planned calendar and activities. The other members were free to choose which activities they want to join - except for the two most important activities for the final output: answering the students' questions and creating an ID card about a partner country.
- September / October: My school and I (interactive games to get to know one another + photos of the schools.)
- October: a postcard from my country (exchange of real mail between the different partners)
- November - March: questions about the different countries (interaction between the partner countries).
- December: How do you celebrate Christmas in your country? (exchange of information)

Better knowledge and use of English as a means of communication. Better knowledge of ICT tools. Better knowledge of Europe, sens of European citizenship.
