The eTwinning project aims to encourage European schools to collaborate using information and communication technology (ICT). The project is at the core of the European Union's E-Learning programme and is supported by the European commision.
The main concept behind eTwinning is that schools are paired with another school elsewhere in the Europe. The two schools then communicate using the internet (for example, by E-mail or video conferencing) to collaborate, share and learn from each other.

eTwinning encourages and develops ICT skills as the main activities inherently use information technology. Being "twinned" with a foreign school also encourages cross -cultural exanges of knowledge, fosters students' intercultural awarene
