Abstract: In today’s multicultural environment, education is called upon to take on other important roles in addition to the role determined by the State. Through interdisciplinary, collaborative and key assistance, teachers use ICT to break away from the rigorous Curriculum and try to experiment with new methodological approaches using teaching practices and introducing innovations in education, such as the European eTwinning program. With the help of an online questionnaire, we explored the experiences and feelings of teachers who actively participated as partners in an eTwinning program. Studying the results of the research, we found out how important the program is for both teachers themselves and their students during its implementation, but also the need to implement another one in the future.

Key words: ICT, collaboration, interdisciplinarity, creativity, culture
