Vedruna Sant Josep Navàs in Istanbul : School leaders and eTwinning ambassadors

From 8–10 November 2025, head teachers, school leaders and eTwinning ambassadors from all over Europe gathered in Istanbul for the Professional Development Workshop “Shaping Stronger Schools through Skills for Life and eTwinning.”

During the event, our school’s ambassador Fina Vendrell presented the case story “eTwinning as a Leadership Tool for Transformation,” highlighting how eTwinning can serve as a powerful tool to promote shared leadership, teacher empowerment, student engagement and community collaboration.

The workshop included plenary sessions, round tables, and inspiring case studies, offering valuable opportunities to exchange ideas and build future partnerships with European schools.

We return enriched by new perspectives and motivated to continue shaping stronger schools through collaboration and European values.

eTwinning school label 2025-2026

 

A recognition of collaborative leadership, innovation, and European commitment in education

We are proud to announce that Col·legi Sant Josep Navàs has been awarded the eTwinning School Label 2025–2026 — a distinction that recognises schools across Europe for their leadership, innovation, and active participation in the eTwinning community.

This award highlights our commitment not only to international collaboration, but also to a shared vision of teaching and learning, where both students and teachers play an active role in shaping an open, inclusive, and forward-looking educational environment.

Why this recognition matters

Shared leadership and strategic vision
At Col·legi Sant Josep, school management and teacher leaders work hand in hand to integrate eTwinning into our school’s educational vision and daily practice. eTwinning is part of our policy, professional development plan, and ongoing innovation strategy.

Collaboration at the heart

Our teachers form a united, collaborative team that co-designs eTwinning projects and pedagogical initiatives, while continuously sharing experiences and best practices within and beyond our school.

Students as active participants
In our eTwinning journey, students are not just participants — they are agents of change. They take on leadership roles in the digital and pedagogical innovation process, raising awareness about eTwinning among peers, teachers, and families.

A model for other schools
As an eTwinning School, we are committed to inspiring and supporting other schools in our region. We actively share our knowledge, host open events, and promote professional development opportunities that encourage more schools to join and grow within the eTwinning community.

Being recognised as an eTwinning School confirms our belief in the power of European collaboration, teacher empowerment, and student agency as key drivers for educational transformation.

We will continue to promote the values of inclusion, digital citizenship, creativity, and sustainability — shaping the kind of education that empowers students to be better learners, responsible citizens, and agents of a brighter future.
