‘Gheorghe Magheru’ School in Caracal, Romania, is a medium-sized school, with about 550 students enrolled in pre-primary, primary and lower-secondary classes and 50 teachers. It is an eTwinning school, starting 2018, with two eTwinning ambassadors, one for primary and the other one for secondary teachers. We are very active in eTwinning and achieved many eTwinning, Stem Week and Code Week prizes for our projects. Our students participated with great results in many contests and competitions both in Science and Language areas. Previous Erasmus projects carried out in Gheorghe Magheru School were STEM related. KA201 project `Active Minds Moving Hands` was an exchange of good practice in teaching STEM. The second one, `We are creating STEAM embassies in the European school network`, was a KA229 project focused on STEAM methodology, adding Art in teaching Science. Currently we have under development three Erasmus plus projects, with a range of types and topics, as we decided more areas in our school activity needed improvement. The three projects are: Don’t Be Cyber Bully, Be Aware! – a KA229 project coordinated by an Italian school. Improving STEM education across European schools – a KA201 project coordinated by a research institution from Northern Ireland. Language Development Through Digital tools- our KA226 project, coordinated by Sweden. This way more teachers and students can benefit from the Erasmus opportunities and our school has a bigger impact in our local community and not only.

The students are interested in local and international social events. They are involved in sports events, youth and science projects. The teachers also have a variety of capabilities such as having better teaching skills, being sociable and experts in their professions to work at the school. The school has a high standard of technology. It gives great importance to extend the integration of itself, its city and its country with Europe because they think that as a candidate country to the European Union it is a must for them. It has participated in many regional and national Works and competitions. Since our school was opened, we have given importance to technological issues. There is a big STEAM Lab in our school. Students have been learning STEAM for four years. So far, two Erasmus+ Projects have been carried out about STEAM and coding. In the strategic plan of the school, it is aimed to enable our teachers and students to acquire the skills of the 21st century. That’s why we would like to carry out activities to make all teachers and students of our school more aware of the importance of AI and to provide them adequate information about what we can do as normal people.

The school actively works towards digitalization and students in grade 6-9 have their own Chromebooks while the elementary students use ipads. Our school received an eTwinning European quality label for ‘Hands of the world’. This project was created to break down the barriers of communication using sign language, students learnt basic skills of sign language. They learnt how they can come together to be one using music. Although not connected to all the STEAM subjects, we used many digital tools to connect and collaborate. This was our first project, and we learnt a lot by collaborating with teachers and students from all over Europe and beyond. Our school also represented Sweden at BETT 2020 from 20-22nd January for the Nordic CRAFT eTwinning project where our grade 7 students worked with students from other Nordic countries to find the solution to local problems and choose ‘food wasted in school’. Besides eTwinning projects, we also worked together with European Schoolnet on a Horizon 2020 project about Bioeconomy called BLOOM. One of our teachers worked as pilot teacher and worked with 12 other pilot teachers from other European countries and together with other pilot teachers, a Schoolbox full of resources and lesson plans ready to be used was made. Our Year 8 and 9 students piloted the lesson plans made by pilot teachers which were then made available to teachers all over the world to freely use in the classroom. The staff members involved are experienced teachers in their respective fields and hold a Swedish teaching licence. All our staff members are enthusiastic and work together to help students achieve their learning goals.
