On the first day, there were plenary sessions. The welcome note was given by Marija Filipovic Ozegovic from the Foundation Tempus. The 1st plenary session was Enhancing active teaching and learning with ICT by Jelena Joksimovic, Faculty of Philosophy, Belgrade University.

The 2nd session was "The importance of ICT in teaching and learning " held by Snezana Markovic from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technological Development. She talked about using technology as our ally in helping children learn and be more motivated.

The 3rd session was held by Marcela Alzin from the National Support Service of Austria and she presented the ABC of Erasmus + programmes of KA1 and KA2 mobility projects. Also she pointed out the importance and role of eTwinning in Erasmus + mobility programmes.

The 4th session was held by Ivana Bankovic from the National Support Service of Serbia and she talked about the ABC of Etwinning, its benefits both for teachers and pupils.

The second day, we discussed the topics we would like to explore in our projects and we defined many areas of interest. According to our interests, we formed groups and started talking about the cooperation we can have in the upcoming period.

In groups, we discussed the titles of our project, description of the projects, aims, specific activities and tools we can use. The work was very productive and many interesting ideas popped up.

We presented our projects to other groups.

More than 20 projects were immediately registered on the etwinning portal.

The colleagues which were most interested to explore the culture of our countries and changes which are inevitably happening, agreed to start a project together. This is the first time I have met my partners during a seminar so I expect it will make a difference. We have already registered the project and you are welcome to join.

All of the participants of the seminar started a common project on the etwinning portal and it is already in full swing. We invite you to post your impressions about the seminar there and participate in the future activites.

And of course, we went sightseeing and showed Belgrade and its hospitality to our guests. We all hope to meet again on some similar occassions, exchange our ideas and coooperate again on similar projects.
