We aim at creating a community of teachers coming from different European countries, sharing and comparing ideas about their projects, and helping and supporting each other with their problems and experiences. We consider this project as an "eTwinning inside eTwinning", as the core of the project is to build up a corpus of good practices and connections between teachers that will enable us to perform better in our job - especially in the field of European Projects. Only teachers will take part actively in this project (no students will work in the twinspace), but of course the cooperation and mutual help between teachers will provide a positive spin-off for didactics and teaching methods. This is not a project made by students, it's a project made FOR students.
