I wonder what are the differences between eTwinning and Comenius projects? Can someone explain that to me in plain terms?

As far as I know a Comenius project (bilaterla and multilateral) is financially supported by EU through grants. Is that true?

Is it possible to join a ready Commenius project for the upcoming 2013/ 2014 school year so that my 8 students could host some other students participating in the project? We run a small, private school 350 km above the Arctic Circle. Or maybe it is even possible to be hosted by another school in May/ June 2014?

Have you had experience with joining an already started Comenius project?

Hi Jarek!
I was the coordonator of 3 Comenius projects. Yes, it is possible to join a Comenius project for the upcoming 2013/2014 school year. First of all you have to find at least 3 partners. Usually we find them on eTwinning web page. Click here:

You can find Comenius partnerships button on the left.


Then you start working together via email in order to write the project. Here you can find information about Comenius projects:
