Future-ready schools

Helping school communities build strong foundations for the future
What does it take for schools to prepare learners for a future already taking shape? Over the next two school years, 2026/27 and 2027/28, the eTwinning theme 'Future-ready schools' invites teachers, school leaders and whole school communities to explore this question together and help pupils build the competences, confidence and agency they need to thrive.
