quality label criteria
collaboration among parTner schools
- Collaboration goes beyond communication. Both teachers and students must actively contribute to the project. The creation of multinational teams is essential.
- Examples of collaborative products include journals, reports, collaborative stories, radio stations, infographics and more.
use of ict
- Technology facilitates collaboration between partner schools, content creation, and the development of digital skills and citizenship competencies.
- Privacy and security are prioritised, and copyright-free resources must be used.
pedagogical approaches
- Teachers should explore diverse pedagogical approaches. These may include asking thought-provoking questions, conducting research, promoting collaborative teamwork, and allowing students to choose how they research and present information.
- Depending on factors like context, age, and capacity of the learners, educators should create an environment where students take an active role.
- Encouraging creativity, responsibility, and autonomy allows learners to drive the project, rather than merely executing the teacher’s ideas.

curricular integration
- The project is rooted in the school curriculum and syllabus.
- The majority of project work is done during school hours, not only at home.
- Project work allows students to develop their skills and competences such as communication, and digital literacy, in different subjects.
results and documentation
- To demonstrate project outcomes and organisation, eTwinning projects should be well-documented.
- Documentation includes visible and tangible results: project outputs (both digital and non-digital), learner activities (in-class and online), and project documentation (planning, evaluation, reflection, feedback, etc.).
- eTwinning projects must be disseminated through channels like school website, meetings and seminars.

KEY COMPETENCES
key competences
The Council of the European Union adopted a recommendation on key competences for lifelong learning in May 2018. The recommendation identifies eight key competences essential to citizens for personal fulfilment, a healthy and sustainable lifestyle, employability, active citizenship and social inclusion.
The key competences are a combination of the following: • Knowledge
Knowledge is composed of the concepts, facts and figures, ideas and theories which are already established, and support the understanding of a certain area or subject. • Skills
Skills are defined as the ability to carry out processes and use the existing knowledge to achieve results. • Attitudes
Attitudes describe the disposition and mindset to act or react to ideas, persons or situations.
The key competences are developed throughout life, through formal, non-formal and informal
learning in different environments, including family, school, workplace, neighbourhood and other communities.All key competences are considered equally important. Skills such as critical thinking, problem solving, team work, communication, creativity, negotiation, analytical and intercultural skills are embedded throughout the key competences.
