It’s almost summer break! As we are now into the month of June, schools are wrapping up the school year. For those of you that are finalising your eTwinning projects, we hope that this year was a great success.

In order to help you already prepare for the coming school year, the eTwinning Newsletter will continue during the months of July and August with a special focus on project building and partner-finding. So if you’re looking for inspiration, ideas and/or partners, please be sure to check up the next two editions.

Also, please note that the 2007 eTwinning Weeks will be launched on 15 September. Stay tuned for more information on the exciting back to school activities planned.

In the meantime, best of luck with the closing of this school year and enjoy your summer holidays!  Also, congratulations to all of you who have been running eTwinning projects this year; your extra time and dedication has truly brought schools in Europe closer together!
