eTwinning Quality Label

The Quality Label is awarded to schools to recognise good practice in eTwinning projects.

When you’ve finished your project, why not apply for a Quality Label?

Reward your students and yourself and celebrate with your eTwinning partners by applying. A Quality Label recognises and rewards good practice and can contribute to an International Schools' Award.. It will also be automatically entered for the Annual eTwinning National Prizes in June.

You can apply through your eTwinning Desktop under the section ‘My Projects’. Members of the eTwinning UK team will then evaluate your application.

What are the benefits?

There’s concrete recognition for the school’s European collaborative work which can give a boost to pupils’ motivation, reward teachers’ commitment and enhance the school’s profile.
The achievement can be used to lead to further accreditation through the International School Award.
Each school gaining the Quality Label will receive three complimentary 1GB Flash Drives.
Each project gaining the Quality Label during the school year will be automatically put forward for the annual UK eTwinning awards held in June.
Schools gaining the Quality Label can be considered for the project of the month feature on this website which helps others get ideas of how to make a successful project work.
