eTwinning is an action that
supports online-based projects between at least two schools from at least
two different countries. The eTwinning Portal was
designed to create, manage and run projects. eTwinning gives recognition,
visibility and free tools and support. Schools form a project and use Information and
Communication Technology (ICT) to carry out their work.
”eTwinning offers a platform for staff
(teachers, head teachers, librarians, etc.), working in a school in one of the
European countries involved, to communicate, collaborate, develop projects,
share and, in short, feel and be part of the most exciting learning community
in Europe. The eTwinning action promotes school collaboration in Europe
through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by
providing support, tools and services for schools.”
