What is E-TwinningPermalink

eTwinning:

  • Allowed children of all abilities and all social and financial backgrounds to build cross border friendships and broaden their horizons,
  • Assisted language learning at an early age, when children are most receptive,
  • Provided a safe platform for work and collaboration,
  • Offered teachers high quality Continued Professional Development. None of this is in the Government’s Turing Scheme.

We call on the Government to rectify this situation, by enabling the UK to participate as an eTwinning+ country (for countries outside of the European Union), so our children are not deprived of the opportunities it provides.

I cannot begin to capture in this blog the amazing cultural and educational value of eTwinning for students like mine, but here are just a few reasons why we need to take action and rejoin Erasmus+ eTwinning now:

  • It allowed children of all abilities and all social and financial backgrounds to build cross- border friendships and broaden their horizons,
  • Assisted language learning at an early age, when children are most receptive,
  • Offered hard-working teachers an amazing opportunity to enrich their own careers and learn from European counterparts.
