eTwinning

eTwinning offers a platform for staff working in school or preschool institutions all over Europe. The aim of the portal is to support communication, cooperation and development of projects in an online environment. 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. Use of the portal is free and safe.

Who can register on eTwinning?


Only staff (teachers, head teachers, librarians, pedagogues, psychologists, etc.) working in schools or preschool institutions can register in eTwinning portal and join eTwinning community.

Cooperation and connection


eTwinning can be an opportunity for professional development and improvement. eTwinning offers a chance for schools in Serbia to establish contacts with EU colleagues and beyond. The Portal provides the perfect environment for the exchange of ideas, experiences and advice, the possibility to participate in various groups and forums, and the opportunity for development of teaching and ICT skills through different online trainings.

By clicking on the field Register on the homepage of the portal, a table opens in which a teacher writes his/her personal details. Once the pre-registration is completed, an email is received from the eTwinning team that contains a link. By clicking on this link, a registered eTwinner is redirected to the full registration form where he or she can complete their registration by defining a name and a password.
