The document discusses various settings that can be configured for an eTwinning Twinspace. It describes how general settings like title, subtitle and logo can be displayed, and that only project founders and teachers with admin rights can change these settings. It also outlines profile settings that allow users to add a profile picture and description, and language settings where the default display language and session languages can be selected. Teachers are given guidance on profile setting guidelines for students and the ability to invite new participants, including designating pupil administrators.

With the Profile settings users of the Twinspace take the first steps in expressing their digital
identity. Adding a profile picture and a short description are important for the first impression
others have about you.
Click on your name to change the profile settings.

The profile settings include a description and a picture.
Members can also set the default display language.

9. The Profile settings (including picture and written description) will be displayed in all the Twinspaces
you make part of.
Teachers should provide guidelines for the students of how they must write the profile description:
what is the language, what type of information must (not) be shared etc.
Teachers must also provide guidelines, if necessary, about the profile picture. A picture tells more
than a thousand words. Teachers cannot delete the profile picture of the student.

… for Foreign Language teachers. During their lessons the students can select the display according to
