Kratka vsebina

This paper presents a longitudinal educational research experience developed between 2020 and 2025 through four international eTwinning projects implemented annually with preschool children aged 4–6 years at Kindergarten with Extended Program Vinerea, Romania. The projects – Coding STEAM and Stories, STEM Research in Kindergarten, Kindergarten from Home, and STEM with Pete is Really Great – were carried out in collaboration with educational institutions from Romania, Greece, Turkey, Lithuania, and Poland within the eTwinning community, part of the Erasmus+ framework. Each project received both the National Quality Label and the European Quality Label, demonstrating educational quality, innovation, and international impact. The study explores the integration of STEM methodology, inquiry-based learning, coding activities, storytelling, collaborative digital learning, and intercultural communication in early childhood education. Findings indicate significant contributions to creativity, communication, collaboration, problem-solving, computational thinking, and intercultural awareness among preschool children.
