For
those who don’t know, “the eTwinning action is an initiative of the
European Commission that aims to encourage European schools to collaborateg
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-three 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"
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ETwinning)Our project "Feel The Forest and Keep Your School Green" involved students, teachers and schools in Portugal, France, Italy, Poland, Turkey and Bulgaria and took place in the school year 2012/2013.
Many thanks to all teachers, students and adults learners who, one way or the other, have made their contributions to this successful project. Thanks also to the eTwinning NSS for the recognition.
