Join the celebration!

Comenius Week 2011 gave everyone involved in a Comenius project the opportunity to celebrate the great work they have been doing around European school collaboration.

Over 1,000 activities took place in schools and colleges throughout Europe. Find out more about all of these events at www.comeniusweek.eu

A range of fantastic events took place across the UK, and we’d like to like to say a big thank you and well done to everyone involved.

Remember, you can still join the discussions and share all of your Comenius Week stories at the official Comenius Week teacher room on etwinning.net
