The
eTwinning action is an initiative of the European Commission that aims to encourage
European schools to collaborate using Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) by providing the necessary infrastructure (online tools,
services, support).
Therefore,
teachers registered in the eTwinning action are enabled to form partnerships
and develop collaborative, pedagogical school projects in any subject area with
the sole requirements to employ ICT to develop their project and collaborate
with teachers from other European countries (at least two teachers from two
different European countries are needed).
The
primary workspace for the eTwinning action, is the eTwinning Portal (www.etwinning.net) and it is available in
twenty-five languages. Teachers registered in the eTwinning action, also called
eTwinners, find each other, communicate, share resources and collaborate
through the eTwinning
platform.
This
growing and active community enforced the change in the motto of eTwinning from
"School partnerships in Europe" to "The community for schools in
Europe".
Formation
The project was born in 2005 under the
European Union's e-Learning programme and it has been integrated in the
Lifelong Learning Programme since 2007. eTwinning is part of Comenius, the EU
programme for schools.
