A bilateral workshop between Azerbaijan and Turkey is planned for 11-13 October as part of the “eTwinning Plus” project.

The aim of the workshop on "media literacy and misinformation" is to implement international joint educational projects in both countries as well as to demonstrate continued cooperation in the field of education in "eTwinning Europe".

The workshop will include various trainings and discussions for 36 school teachers from Turkey, 36 local teachers on media literacy, prevention of misinformation, digital skills, project-based education and 21st century teacher skills development. The trainings will be conducted by local and Turkish experts. Representatives from the Turkish Ministry of National Education are also expected to participate in the event.

It should be noted that our country has been participating in the “eTwinning Plus” project since 2013. The project is part of the “eTwinning” project of the European Union’s Lifelong Learning Program. The main objective of the project is to increase communication between educators from almost 40 European countries participating in the program, to create opportunities for cooperation and to create conditions for the implementation of various projects aimed at the development of joint education. Within the framework of the “eTwinning Plus” project, 3432 educational projects have been implemented with the participation of 3224 teachers from 927 schools in our country, many of them achieving high international standards and competing at the same level as European countries.
