Press Release: eTwinning: best cross-border school projects of the year

The best school twinning projects of the year were honoured at the 2013 eTwinning Awards in Lisbon on 14 March 2013. The year's top prize was awarded to the 'Rainbow Village' project which brought together 12-15-year-olds in France, Greece, Romania, the UK, Turkey, Italy, Slovakia and Poland. The pupils created a virtual post-Armageddon world and explored themes such as survival, conservation and citizenship.

The eTwinning network is a virtual classroom in which pupils and teachers from 100 000 schools in 33 European countries take part in interactive projects via the internet.
