Webinar: creITivity extended (plurilingual and intercultural education) (EN)
What happens when in the plurilingual and intercultural environment of a European School the New Technologies are being used in a creative way? That's when the “creITivity extended” is born!
In this workshop you will understand - and hopefully be inspired by - the way in which different groups of students (e.g. SWALS, L2 etc.) collaborate and benefit from the incredible possibilities of different applications in order to unite their different voices and languages, raising a common message: the climate and environmental crisis must stop, it's time for action!
Furthermore, the aim of the webinar is to provide you with the opportunity to experiment with these apps in order to be able to use them as you think best with your students.
We suggest you install on an ipad/iphone the following apps:
- Garage Band
- FlipaClip
- Green Screen

CHATZIRAFAILIDOU Evanthia (KAR-Teacher)L1 Greek and Subject Teacher, SWALS and Digital Learning Coordinator. My different roles at the European School Karlsruhe largely reflect my interests. Through my teaching experience and endless hours of experimentation with different applications, I have found paths to creative, fun teaching that turns students into creative content creators. Through such a process, they discover and learn not only subject matter, but also new skills, while enjoying every step of the way!

Webinar: Project Climate Council. Students: reduce the climate footprint of your school in 8 months! (EN)
This Webinar will present:
- a whole concept for improvement in the area of sustainability at school,
- based on the constant active participation of engaged students,
- accompanied by engaged teachers,
- with the very concern of a democratic approach,
- in order to involve a community as large as possible,
- for visible and measurable impacts and improvements in the end.
This Webinar will offer you:
- the opportunity of reflecting on how to conceive and start an ambitious and still realistic project in the sustainability area,
- if possible in a democratic way;
- and the opportunity of being supported by two colleagues, who now have some years of experience (do's and dont's!) in that kind of approach and process.
Welcome on board!

The "European Citizen in Nursery" webinar focuses on the role of early childhood education in shaping European identity and fostering a sense of European citizenship among young children. We will explore how nurseries can support the development of social values, cultural understanding, and multilingualism, promoting a strong sense of belonging to Europe from an early age. Key topics are teaching strategies and collaborative initiatives in European schools to create inclusive, diverse environments in early childhood education.
The "European Citizen in Nursery" webinar explores the challenges and opportunities in European school early childhood education, specifically at Berkendael School, where there are 9 different language groups. We would like to focus on challenges faced by big languages group versus small. Many children are monolingual, and the only shared space is the playground, where children tend to stick to their class groups. The webinar highlights the advantages of working with diverse language groups, teaching children from early age that they can play and collaborate even without a common language and fostering cultural awareness by exposing them to different traditions and backgrounds. This approach helps install the values of European citizenship and inclusion from an early age.
