The e³ project (eTwinning partnerships – evolution, in Hungarian: eTwinning együttműködések – evolúció) aims at creating an eTwinning professional workshop, continuous mentoring of participants and developing good practice and project plans in eTwinning. The project will be announced as a competition and the best participants will be prized for their performance. One of the main targets of the project is to initiate collaboration among the participants with the result of creating project plans that can be useful for the whole eTwinning community.
