eTwinning

Description: The eTwinning portal provides online tools for teachers to find partners, set up projects, share ideas and work together, through the use of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). The portal provides a meeting point and a workspace and is available in 26 languages.

Notes: Launched in 2005 as the main action of the European Commission’s eLearning programme, eTwinning has been firmly integrated in Erasmus+, the European programme for education, training, youth and sport, since 2014. Its Central Support Service is operated by European Schoolnet, an international partnership of 30 European Ministries of Education developing learning for schools, teachers and pupils across Europe. eTwinning is further supported at the national level by 36 National Support Services. To develop an understanding of global issues and citizenship, schools benefit from linking with a school from another country. By undertaking a joint project, students can share experiences and learn about other cultures. eTwinning logo taken from the etwinning homepage.
