The eTwinning 2013 Conference is about to start!
This year, the Conference will take place in Lisbon between 14 March and 16 March. More than 400 teachers are expected from the 33 countries involved in eTwinning. Besides, each National Support Service will be there, and the Central Support Service as well. As usual, the Conference will include presentations, workshops and activities, but also, of course, the Prize Ceremony, during which the best eTwinning projects will be rewarded.

Finding partners, a fundamental step to found a project
With our last quick poll on the Desktop about partner finding tools we realised that more than a fourth of the respondents don’t use the desktop tools to find partners, most of them apparently because they were not sure where the tools are.
