Dear eTwinners,

I’m excited to share a brand-new episode of the Teachers of Europe podcast that shines a spotlight on a topic close to our hearts: overcoming gender stereotypes in STEM education. Hosted by Rute Baptista, the episode features compelling insights from educators across Europe—Mladen Šljivović (Serbia), Rafael Montero (Spain), and Iro Koliakou (Greece)—who examine how early stereotypes and social norms can undermine students’ confidence and belonging in STEM, especially during critical school transitions Eurisko.

Drawing on findings from the 2024 NESET analytical report, the discussion explores how classroom dynamics impact the gender gap in STEM and offers practical strategies, such as:

• Gender-sensitive teaching methods
• Fostering inclusive learning environments
• Showing positive role models to enhance student engagement and equity Eurisko

Dear colleagues,

The latest issue of the (No. 15, 2025) is now out, and it offers plenty of inspiration for us in the STEM community. 🌍🔬💡

Inside, you’ll find project highlights, success stories, and creative practices that can easily be adapted or serve as a starting point for new eTwinning collaborations. Many of the featured ideas connect naturally with STEM themes—problem-solving, innovation, sustainability, and interdisciplinary learning.

This is a great opportunity for us to reflect, exchange ideas, and design the next generation of STEM-focused eTwinning projects. 🚀 Whether you are looking for fresh approaches to science, technology, engineering, or mathematics, the newsletter is full of sparks to ignite new initiatives.

👉 Have a look, and let’s share in the group what inspires us most and how we could build on these ideas together!

Hello to everyone, 

I am looking for a hard-working and responsible co-founder in the above project. The project would start in early September and end in May, and in June we would submit an application for national quality labels. We are an eTwinning school and I am personally a winner of European quality labels for projects, so I would like the co-founder to be hard-working and responsible and for the project to be a pleasure for all partners. Also, in addition to the co-founder, I am looking for partners from different countries. Contact me at anita.corak@skole.hr or in a private message on twinspace. Best regards, Anita

Summer is the perfect time to relax, recharge, and reflect on our teaching practice. Whether you're soaking up the sun on a beach or exploring mountain trails, why not bring along a book that sparks ideas for your STEM classroom?

Let’s keep the spirit of learning alive—even under the Summer sun!
Wishing you all a season full of inspiration, great reads, and well-deserved rest. 🌻
Happy reading and relaxing!

Hello everyone.

 My name is Odi Abu Omar, a teacher of Earth Sciences and Environment, Chemistry, and Biology at a public school in Jordan (Middle East).

Dear eTwinners,

you're warmly invited to an online event on June 23rd from 18:00 to 19:00 CEST dedicated to partner finding for upcoming eTwinning projects.

🌍 During the event, you’ll have the opportunity to connect with fellow educators and explore collaboration opportunities. We’ll also present a new project idea titled:

🎯 "STEM for Future: Mapping Teacher Skills for Sustainable Thinking"

This project will focus on assessing STEM competencies among European teachers, with an emphasis on financial sustainability—a topic that, in some countries like Italy, has recently replaced the 2030 Agenda in the civic education curriculum.

The project is designed for experienced eTwinning teachers of Mathematics and Natural Sciences at the upper secondary level (10th or 11th grade, to be confirmed).

🧑‍🏫 Don’t miss this chance to build strong partnerships and shape meaningful STEM education together!

📅 Date: 23 June
🕕 Time: 18:00–19:00 CEST
📍 Where: Online (link here)

We look forward to seeing you there!

We’re happy to announce that the official logo for our STEM eTwinning group is finally complete! 🙌

It took a bit longer than expected because we used the tool TurboMosaic, which required at least 49 tile images to generate the final composition. But it was worth the wait — the result is a true reflection of our collaborative spirit!

On the dedicated page of the group, you have all the details about the procedure.

Let us know what you think about this process in the comments!
