eTwinning is a community that’s involved more than 400,000 teachers working in 166,000 schools. More than 50,000 projects have been run, involving more than 2,000,000 pupils across the continent (*October 2016). eTwinning – the Community for schools in Europe – is an action for schools funded by the European Commission under the Erasmus+ programme. eTwinning, eTwinning platform (http://www.etwinning.com.ua/) offers a high level of support for its users. In each of participating countries (currently 38) a National Support Service (NSS) promotes the action, provides advice and guidance for end users and organizes a range of activities and professional development opportunities at national level. At European level, eTwinning is coordinated by the Central Support Service (CSS) managed by European Schoolnet, a consortium of 30 Ministries of Education.
This body liaises with the NSS and is responsible for the development of the platform, as well as offering a range of professional development opportunities and other activities such as an annual European Conference and a Prize Event which awards teachers and students for their involvement in outstanding projects. eTwinning incorporates a sophisticated digital platform that has both public and private areas and is available in 28 languages. The public area www.eTwinning.net offers browsing visitors a range of information about how to become involved in eTwinning; explaining the benefits the action offers and provides inspiration for collaborative project work. The restricted area, called eTwinning Live, is the individual teacher’s interface with the community: it enables users to find each other, interact, collaborate in projects and participate in professional development activities organised at national and European Level. Finally when teachers work together in a project they have access to a restricted and dedicated area for the project called the TwinSpace. (Central Support Service for eTwinning)
