eTwinning Online Annual Conference 2023 “Education and Innovation - being creative with eTwinning”

Education is central to planning, building, and deployment of innovative pedagogies, as well as nurturing talents. Education also plays a key role in developing, disseminating, and accrediting knowledge and innovation. In line with the Annual Theme, the eTwinning Annual Conference 2023 will help participants imagine an educational setting which, with the support of eTwinning, can be innovative and creative.

Participants will be encouraged to innovate in the many forms available, such as:

- Social innovation with a school
- Mental and emotional well-being within schools
- Pedagogical innovation
- Engaging with innovation

The aim of the conference is to raise awareness, engage and showcase participants how eTwinning helps teachers deploy the Theme of the year (“Education and Innovation, Being Creative with eTwinning”) in their schools.
