Why take time with TwinSpace?
• For project participants and administrators:
– easier to coordinate and contribute to the project if clear
organization.
• For people outside the project:
– parents, headmasters, press, evaluators (prizes and Quality
Labels).
• A well organized Twinspace provides a better
reflection of the work done during the project!

Criteria to organize TwinSpace?
• One page for each type of activity (for example: group
work, video production, collaborative writing, etc.)
• One page for each project phase (for example:
icebreaking, self-presentation, Country/town/school
presentation, project evaluation…)
• One page per group of pupils (if you create mixed groups)
• One page per theme (for example: Autumn, Winter,
Spring, Summer)
• Or something else that fits your project !

Public or Private?
Think carefully about which pages to make public.
• Public? Project documentation, project outcomes, evidence for parents,
colleagues, local press…
• Private? Pupil’s images, videos, messages, private info.
Consider in particular:
• Your pupils’ safety
• Your school policy
• Your partner’s expectations and school policy
• The project’s communication plan & dissemination needs
• External evaluation

Public or Private?
• The project journal in the TS home is always public and it’s meant for
external communication! How are you going to use it? Who is going to
updated it?
• For communication among teachers, you can use the teachers’ bulletin –
it’s only visible to teachers!
• If you spice up your project with eTwinning Live meetings, remember to
document with pictures, videos, report…
• Even if you use external platforms, leave a trace of what you are doing in
the TS, this is the only way the community can know what you are doing!
