Governance

Launched in 2022, the European School Education Platform is the meeting point for all stakeholders in the school education sector – school staff, researchers, policymakers, and other professionals – spanning every level from early childhood education and care to primary and secondary school, including initial vocational education and training. The platform is also home to eTwinning, the community for schools in Europe.

The European School Education Platform and the eTwinning community are possible thanks to funding from Erasmus+, the European programme for education, training, youth and sport. They are initiatives by the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture. It is operated by European Schoolnet (coordination, content, and services) and Tremend Software Consulting SRL (technical infrastructure) under service contracts with the European Education and Culture Executive Agency (EACEA).

The main eTwinning stakeholders are its registered users (eTwinners), National Support Organisations (NSO), the Central Support Service (CSS), the European Commission (Directorate General for Education, Youth, Sport, and Culture), and the European Education and Culture Executive Agency.
