An international event organized by the eTwinning Central Support Service took place in Tallinn, the capital of Estonia, from October 17-19, 2024.

Around 100 educators from Azerbaijan, as well as Italy, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Georgia, Portugal, Turkey, and Spain, participated in the event.

The purpose of the event, organized under the theme “From Classroom to Community,” was to advance educators' teaching practices with modern methods, enhance ICT and language skills, and create an environment for developing joint lesson examples and international projects with international colleagues.

During the 3-day event, training sessions were held on topics such as “The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Education” and “Project-Based Learning in Inclusive Classrooms,” and panel discussions on “Successful Project Models” implemented in general education institutions took place.

As a result of the event, country representatives developed joint lesson models with their European colleagues, focusing on applying new learning environments that balance students' needs and capabilities and highlighting the connection between students' comprehension needs and the surrounding environment in the educational process. Aygun Muradova, a foreign language teacher from Secondary School No. 156 in Baku, created an integrated lesson model titled “Global Citizens in Action” with her colleague from Estonia.

It should be noted that Azerbaijan has been participating in the “eTwinning” project since 2013. The project is part of the European Union's Lifelong Learning Program and aims to increase communication among educators from 44 European countries participating in the program, create collaboration opportunities, and provide a platform for implementing various joint educational projects. Within the framework of the project, 5,103 educational projects have been implemented with the participation of 4,308 teachers from 1,141 schools in Azerbaijan, achieving many high international accomplishments and competing on an equal level with European countries.
