eTwinning is a simple and straightforward way to forge partnerships and work on projects with other schools in Europe using information and communication technology (ICT). It aims to help schools to bring a European dimension to their activities and to integrate ICT into the classroom.
eTwinning provides partnerships with online tools such as the TwinSpace which acts as the base for project activities, and other resources such as ready-made project kits, which include examples of eTwinning projects.
eTwinning projects are supported by the National Support Services--in Ireland, this is Léargas--and a Central Support Service, European Schoolnet.
eTwinning is funded by the European Commission under the Comenius sectoral programme of the Lifelong Learning Programme.
