Abstract:

Join this face-to-face ACD session to explore Virtual Exchange (VE) in primary and pre-primary language education through eTwinning—Europe’s vibrant online community for school partnerships and collaborative projects. Whether you're new to eTwinning or already have experience, this session is for you. Together, we'll explore how VE can enrich your teaching by fostering language skills, intercultural competence, and digital literacy in young learners. You’ll discover inspiring examples of classroom projects, practical ideas you can adapt to your own context, and have the chance to discuss, share, and start planning ahead.

Ready to begin—or deepen—your virtual exchange journey?

Start preparing for 2025/2026, connect with peers across Europe, and strengthen both your students’ and your own cultural, linguistic, and digital competences.
