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.

As you may remember, 8.A has recently been to Buracas do Casmilo / Condeixa (Portugal) and, this week, the class was involved in another activity also aimed at promoting environmental awareness.

To mark Earth Day on April 22nd, we planted a young cypress at school. As simple as it was, it was nevertheless an educational, action-oriented activity to “green” the school facility, but, above all, it highlights our efforts to engage the class in making a difference in what concerns their attitudes towards the environment.

Though we celebrate these dates and events as a class, we would like to share them with the larger school community as well as with all of you.

We expect our actions to have a lasting positive impact and our cypress (already baptized “Shining Green”) will be our permanent reminder.

Here is now a recollection of this collaborative class activity. Please join us!
