This document outlines an eTwinning initiative in Havering that aims to provide CPD opportunities for teachers and international collaborative projects for students. It discusses partnerships with schools in Finland and Italy where students exchanged cultural information, stories, and videos of playground games. The benefits included enhanced language skills, cultural awareness, and use of ICT. A lead teacher coordinated eTwinning in schools and teachers were expected to participate. Support was provided by eTwinning ambassadors. The agenda covered an overview of eTwinning, examples of projects, benefits, and next steps which included ambassador support and using the eTwinning portal.
