IMPORTANT NEWS (updated 18 December, 16:00 BST)

Negotiations on the future relationship between the UK and the EU are ongoing, and the UK’s future participation in Erasmus+ remains subject to those negotiations.

With regards to participation in eTwinning (the EU’s community platform for schools in Europe), we encourage you to take action now to prepare for all scenarios, including where UK participants will no longer be eligible to participate in the platform. For more details, please go to britishcouncil.org/etwinning/.
