The document outlines 8 steps for new eTwinners to get started in the Virgilio Group, including exploring the group space, taking a test to assess skills, introducing oneself, participating in discussions and games, and asking the helpdesk for assistance. It encourages newcomers to speak up if they need help, are not satisfied, or want to suggest changes, as mutual support is important in eTwinning communities.
