Internationalisation through eTwinning
You can make eTwinning an integrated part of everyday teaching. The activities can be implemented into the national curriculum and add-on to the school’s normal activities. Learn more about the plans for this at an upper secondary school in Denmark.
Ordrup Gymnasium, a general upper secondary school situated in the northern part of Copenhagen, has declared itself as a school with an international profile. This implies that the school must engage in international projects that involve all students and teachers, and although Ordrup Gymnasium has extensive experience in international collaboration, there are high expectations to the use eTwinning as a way to integrate the international dimension into the national curriculum.

Kjeld Mazanti Soerensen, coordinator of international activities, has many ideas and plans for e-twinning activities at the school. The overall plan is that eTwinning activities take place in the majority of the subjects taught at the school, and that all teachers and students in that way are engaged in the activities. Another plan is that the activities and partnerships have a long-term perspective.

In this interview, Kjeld Mazanti Soerensen’s expectations to eTwinning are presented. Three aspects form the core:

1.How to start and run an eTwinning partnership,
2.How to integrate European collaboration into national curriculum aims,
3.How to implement eTwinning activities at the whole school.
