In today’s global society, connecting, collaborating and working with people in other countries is an increasing part of our everyday reality – from business, to leisure, to the highest level of government.

Brining an International Dimension to Childrens’ Education is increasingly important if we are to prepare them for life in the 21st century. eTwinning is all about enabling you, your pupils, your class and your school to connect and work with partners around Europe on projects of your choice – absolutely free of charge.

It is not about creating extra work, but providing a framework for exciting curriculum work with partners in another country. There are many benefits to linking up with another school.

These can include, for pupils:

• Increased motivation, as they have an audience for their work in a school in another country
• Enhanced key skills, including ICT use, communication and foreign language skills
• Greater cultural awareness through direct contact with peers in other countries.

School staff can benefit from:

• Direct contact with education professionals in another European country
• An awareness of teaching and/or management approaches used in another country
• Sharing and celebration of your own professional expertise and experience.
• Using eTwinning as a first step to international linking and gaining the International School Award.
