The annual eTwinning Conference will take place this year in Prague, from 13-15 February 2009. We look forward to welcoming you there!

The theme of this year's conference is "eTwinning and Creativity" to both celebrate the creative work that teachers have been doing in eTwinning as well as the new European Year of Creativity and Innovation. We look forward to welcoming over 400 invited participants from across Europe including teachers, experts and representatives from the Central Support Service, National Support Services and the European Commission.

The conference will be opened by Ján Figel', European Commissioner responsible for Education, Training, Culture and Multilingualism and the keynote speech will be given by Dr. Edward de Bono, who is regarded by many as the leading authority in the field of creative thinking, innovation and the direct teaching of thinking as a skill.

The highlight of the conference will then be the prize-giving ceremony where the winners of the eTwinning Prizes 2009 will be announced.

You can keep up to date on the activities taking place during the conference via the conference blog. Our blog team – made up of teachers and National Support Service representatives – will be publishing articles, photos, interviews and videos throughout the conference, so be sure to stay tuned!
