Linked to the world of job, our latest etwinning project is being finalized.” Let’s mind our business”, as the title suggests, is aimed at improving new technologies skills and business English.
The project founders are Eva Toth and Maria Elena Di Giorgio, there are morethan 100 members involved between students and teachers from Romania, Hungary and Italy, all coordinated by the Hungarian teacher Mrs Toth.
After some introductory tasks , such as brainstorming, introducing each other by trading cards and C.V. several small firms were set up in different fields of expertise: gardening, tourism, info-tech, dental care, astrology, beauty care, advertising, handmade souvenir…
Each company had to make up a name, logo, slogan, and even an advertisement for their firm. Then each company was matched with a foreign one and real business began. The first step was exchanging mails in order to start collaboration, then business meetings via Skype were organized to agree on details for the production of items and services. A website, a app with a quiz for dental hygiene, and 3d models have been created by Hungarian partners, a natural coconut oil toothpaste was born thanks to the cooperation between Italian and Romanian partners, an astrological service of fortune telling was even offered by Hungarians to an Italian firm . A complete list of the common created products is summarized in a online newspaper. http://anyflip.com/tjal/kdqo/
Not only work! After Xmas offers and exchanging Xmas cards, firms went on holiday, escaping with riddles, jigsaws etc… they had fun and relax.
What’s more they had the opportunity to know some partners cultural aspects related to the festivity.
The closing event was held on March, 8th via eTwinning live and it was introduced by quotes on women and a poem cited by the Hungarian Student David Pallagi. During the big meeting, all the five school partners filled in a questionnaire to summarize feelings, facts , positive and negative things of these five months of hard work. The last word to Martina Petrolo, from Italy, who has defined the project as an amazing adventure and an unforgettable experience she will carry in her heart ever!
