European Commission Webinar - How to become an eTwinning School: Shared Leadership in Practice
Channel: European School Education Platform
Date: 2023-02-27

Donal O Reilly was a senior leader at Killorglin Community College, Ireland, from 2007 to 2019. During that time the school went through many changes in staffing, student numbers and teaching methodologies. In 2016, Donal began to experiment with eTwinning with his students and immediately recognised the potential benefit it had inside, and outside, of the classroom. In that same year Donal became an eTwinning Ambassador for his National Agency and devoted much of his time to supporting Irish and European teachers in their eTwinning journey. In 2019 Killorglin Community College was awarded the eTwinning School Label and continues to have a strong focus on eTwinning and Erasmus+ today. This webinar focuses on Donals’ journey as an educator, how eTwinning/Erasmus+ became embedded in the school culture and aims to provoke participants to reflect on their own contexts and school journey
