The new generation of eTwinning Schools is the result of an updated application process that was completed over the past few months and designed by the Central Support Service, in collaboration with National Support Organisations.

The new process puts more emphasis on the principles of the eTwinning School Mission, and on the evidence required to show how the school currently adheres to the core values of the Mission, or plans to follow them in the future:

• eTwinning Schools have a commitment to shared leadership
• eTwinning schools display a strong commitment to collaboration, sharing and team work
• Students in eTwinning Schools are agents of change
• eTwinning Schools are models for other schools
• eTwinning Schools are inclusive and innovative learning organisations

After the entries had been submitted, the National Support Services carefully assessed the evidence provided and granted the eTwinning School Label to 4485 educational institutions.

We would like to congratulate the new eTwinning Schools 2023-2024 on their great achievement: over the upcoming weeks they will receive the eTwinning School Label pack, including am exclusive plaque, the eTwinning flag, other eTwinning materials and a congratulation letter from Commissioner Mariya Gabriel.

eTwinning Schools are pivotal for the success of eTwinning, and they act as a reference point for all the other schools that can demonstrate that their values follow the eTwinning School Mission. We encourage schools that have not yet applied for the Label to contact an eTwinning School in their area and ask them to share their inside knowledge.

The next round of applications will open in September 2023!
