Keep posted about eTwinning 10th anniversary

If you don’t want to miss any of the activities planned to celebrate the 10th anniversary of eTwinning, check out the new mini website we are preparing. Aimed at being a central entry point for all the information regarding the anniversary, it will be officially launched within a few days.

This new space will collect pictures, videos and articles about how eTwinners are celebrating the event all around Europe and a set of tools that will help you to keep track of the main dates and upcoming activities.

A new European Gateway for schools

Would you want to learn more about European action for schools? Have a look at the School Education Gateway, a new European portal funded by the Erasmus+ programme, aimed at teachers, schools and other actors in the school education field. Available in 23 languages, it provides tutorials, good practices, articles by experts and useful tools for professional development, such as a Course Catalogue and a search for Mobility Opportunities and Strategic Partnerships.

All teachers registered in the eTwinning Platform can use the same credentials to login at the new website. If you are not in eTwinning yet, you can simply create an account at School Education Gateway to comment, rate and manage your personal profile. More information will be available on the eTwinning Portal.
