E-Twinning...

E-Twinning is a space in the web that was created to promote cooperation and friendship among European schools.
This is a program sponsored by the European Community.
Recently, I have decided to register in the E-Twinning space because I was looking for different challenges and to offer my students new opportunities to practise the English as a foreign language.
The answer from abroad came quickly. I have been contacted by a Danish teacher to work together.
Her name is Helle Olsen. She lives in Kalundborg, a small town about one hundred (100 km) Kilometers from Copenhagem, the capital of Denmark.
I'm enthusiastic...so are my students...
I hope this partnership to be the beginning of a very interesting multicultural exchange. Only through understanding of other people's cultures and ways, is it possible to enforce world peace.

I think this is a great idea, i mean, to learn about other cultures, to make new friends is awesome. I talk by myself because I want to study out of my country, I want to know and to see the culture that I most appreciate and to learn with it. It will be a fantastic experience. I'm glad my teacher have this young ideas :D

It's always good to communicate with people that have different habits and cultures...

One more time, fortunately, "funny learning" in our student lives!

Well, actually I do not want to be "anonymous" - It's only because I haven't created a google account yet...
My name is Helle Olsen - I'm the teacher, Ofélia mentioned. I just want to say that my students are looking forward to communicating with you!
Best regards, Helle.

As all the others that have posted comments here, I also think that E-Twinning is a great idea. Actually, I do not know a lot about Denmark and I believe that I will be able to learn a lot in a funny way. I'm anxious to start communicating with foreign students, actually, I believe we all are :)


E-Twinning is a great idea and not all the teachers would be available to work in this project as our english teacher, thank you. :D
