eTwinning 10th Anniversary

eTwinning is a free online community for schools in Europe which aims at strengthening and developing collaboration between European schools within a secure network and platform.

Launched in 2005 as the main action of the European Commission’s eLearning Programme, eTwinning allows staff (teachers, head teachers, librarians, etc.), working in a school in one of the European countries involved, to communicate, collaborate, develop projects, share and, in short, feel and be part of the most exciting learning community in Europe. 

The eTwinning action promotes school collaboration in Europe through the use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) by providing support, tools and services for schools.

The eTwinning Portal (www.etwinning.net) is the main meeting point and workspace for the action. Available in twenty-seven languages, the eTwinning Portal has registered the involvement of almost 310,000 members and over 41,000 projects between two or more schools across Europe and the commitment of about 140,000 schools.  Astonishing numbers for a community that has just celebrated its 10th anniversary!!

8ºA couldn’t miss the celebrations and joined the best way possible. We started 10 days earlier the scheduled day in order to make everyone around us aware of what eTwinning is and ended up involving parents and gathering the whole school community.
Below is a compilation of what 8ºA did from April 28th to May 7th.

Hope you enjoy the video and leave a comment. Thank you!


Special thanks to ALL PARENTS and to Alexandre & Vitória for their precious collaboration.

  1. Congratulations to all those involved in this project. This project has been possible to share knowledge and experiences with the various countries involved, thus contributing to our cultural enrichment. It's amazing the number of participants in this project in just ten years old. As you can see in the video, we celebrated in the best way, with the participation of the school community. There was face painting, balloons, "eat and drink" and a colorful environment to match the design of the logo. Thank teacher that gave us motivation and by work it has developed, without which it would not be possible.
