About the eTACCHE Project
The Erasmus+ KA220 project eTwinning Across Cultures: Collaborative Heritage Education (eTACCHE) integrates eTwinning into teacher education to enhance digital literacy, intercultural competence, and cultural heritage education across primary, secondary, and tertiary levels. Five European partner institutions collaborate to develop eTwinning project kits, VR learning environments, and teacher training seminars to promote innovative, cross-border learning experiences. By embedding eTwinning into Initial Teacher Education (ITE), the project fosters sustainable, technology-enhanced pedagogical approaches for future educators.
