What is eTwinning?eTwinning was officially launched by

the European Commission in 2005.eTwinning is an action that supports

online-based projects between at least two schools from at least two different European countries.

Schools form a project and use Information and Communication Technology (ICT) to carry out their work.

The eTwinning Portal was designed to create, manage and run projects.

eTwinning gives recognition, visibility and free tools and support.
