Bridging Borders through Education: eTwinning Initiative in Palestine

We work with the Ministry of Education and the Palestinian schools to 1) build pedagogical projects with schools in Europe and the region; 2) Enhance language learning and intercultural dialogue; 3) contribute to the professional development of teachers in Palestine through their active participation in collaborative projects with their peers in other countries; 4) build communities of practice and specific training activities focused specifically on pedagogical and collaborative learning; and 5) work jointly on key priority areas, which include school and teacher well-being, digital learning, citizenship and values, and environmental protection in line with the thematic focus for the Erasmus+ program.

The National Support Office assists the Palestinian teachers during the process of registration, partner finding, project development, and project implementation. We promote eTwinning by training teachers, sharing information, the recognition of good practice, and awarding eTwinning National Quality Labels as a mark of excellence for teachers who implement successful projects.
