The winners of the eTwinning Prizes 2007 competition have just come back from the second annual eTwinning Camp held this year on the island of Sicily, from 25-29 April. The Camp was a great success on all levels and it proved to be a great opportunity for  European teachers and pupils to meet, to discuss ICT in education, learn new things and enjoy the sun and the sea.
Congratulations again to all the winners: you were a truly fantastic group to work with!
