YES 2.0 Young Europeans Speak
The Voice of Young Europeans! In this project pupils from all over Europe use video, audio and Web 2.0 to share on a wide range of topics. Each contribution is accompanied by a few questions to get discussion started. Pupils listen to, comment on, "like" and vote for the contributions of their partners. The idea is to get our pupils speaking and listening (rather than writing!) and to help them to discover more about the life of teenagers all over Europe.

"eSafety is at this moment one of the most important topics schools must look into"
Since it started in 2005, eTwinning has promoted a responsible use of internet and developed a safe environment for teachers and students to collaborate online. This school year, eSafety will be particularly in the spotlight thanks to a series of activities, including a new cooperation with the eSafety Label project and the development of eTwinning resources and learning opportunities.
