About the event
Digital Citizenship is a concept for our age, a world
where most people have an identity and life in the online world, as much as
they have in real world. Digital Citizenship is a broad concept that explores
how best we should act in this online world, what we need to be aware of and of
course what are our rights and responsibilities.
eTwinning is the Community for schools in Europe which has reached 400,000 teachers and growing. eTwinning offers a means to teachers to educate their pupils in preparation for their full participation in a connected society where everyone can play a role beyond the boundaries of their local environment.
