This document provides instructions for running or participating in a live conference using Twinspace Live. It explains that no additional accounts are needed beyond an eTwinning account. Participants need only a computer with a camera and microphone. Time zones are an important consideration, and several European time zones are provided relative to CET. The process for organizing an event is outlined, which involves providing title, description, participants, date and time. Participating is described as noting the event time in one's own time zone and being ready at the appointed time and date. The live conference allows screen sharing, drawing on a whiteboard, and collaborating in real time. An example event between Greece and Belgium is described where participants sang carols and drew pictures

11. How to partisipate in a live
conference in the Twinspace
Make sure that you have noted in your diary the correct day
and time, by turning CET in your own time.
For example, on our planned date on 30/11/2018, on 10:00, I will
have to remember that our date is on 11:00.
On that date, have your pc/laptop and your pupils ready for the
event.

12. How to partisipate in a live

I have used a trick to show how it is to participate in a
Twinspace Live Event:
I created an event while I was in front of my pc, e.g. Sunday
25/11, at 13:00 CET (2 o’clock here).
One or two minutes after 13:00, the black button appeared:
This black button will appear next to “Christmas” on 30/11 at 10:00 CET.

The Twinspace “LIVE” uses Adobe. First it will ask you to run
Adobe Connect and, of course, you have to accept.
If it asks you for downloads or updates, just do so. It doesn’t
matter if we have to wait for a while that everyone is ready.

each other in our mother tongues, b) draw Christmas images
together.
