This document discusses eTwinning, a community for schools in Europe that connects teachers and students across countries through collaborative projects. It provides a brief history of eTwinning from its origins in 2004-2007 under the Lifelong Learning program to its expansion under Erasmus+ in 2014-2020. Key facts are presented on eTwinning's growth to over 578,000 registered teachers from 192,000 schools working on over 74,000 projects across 43 European countries. The benefits of eTwinning are listed as learning, pedagogical development, skill-building, networking, support and recognition. Tools on the eTwinning portal like eTwinning Live and TwinSpace that support project collaboration are also introduced.
