Course details

“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” - Henry Ford

The eTwinning community has started as a school network and became a vibrant community of educators, promoting educational use of technology to produce improved learning outcomes. However, eTwinning work affects not only individual teachers and pupils, but also the educational institutions as a whole.

eTwinning schools are considered to be learning organisations that put the notion of shared leadership into practice, foster communication and collaboration among teachers, activate students and promote innovation and inclusion, acting as models for other schools.

This is the first course of the series “eTwinning Schools” that emphasizes on Collaboration in Practice. Through this course, we will explore how to build synergies among teachers within the institution as well as among the eTwinning community to create shared results, with a view to nurturing an ecosystem of innovation and creativity.
