04/03/2013 (Agence Europe) - Launch of “eTwinning Plus” virtual classroom network for schools. The European Commission's “eTwinning” network, which has encouraged 100,000 schools in 33 European countries to talk to each other via the internet, was extended on 4 March to schools in Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. The launch of “eTwinning Plus” will enable these countries to join a massive virtual classroom in which pupils and teachers can learn more about their counterparts and take part in interactive projects focused on language learning or maths, for instance. It is also an opportunity for youngsters to discover different cultures and traditions - as well as to find out what they have in common. (OL/transl.fl)
