The idea of this eTwinning Group first came to Daniela Arghir Bunea during the Ambassadors' Professional Development Workshop in Villasimius, Italy in May 2010. She felt that there were many eTwinning projects that should be shared with the wider community and decided to try to bring visibility to the work of other eTwinners. She then shared her ideas with quite a few enthusiastic eTwinning ambassadors and others, and they worked hard to prepare the new Group entitled The eTwnning Project Visibility Group. Launched in October 2010, the group now has 129 members from almost all the 32 eTwinning countries, who have successfully focused in their extensive activities on the important process of making eTwinning project work visible on a larger scale, in a safe, responsible and effective manner. I am very happy to welcome this newsletter as an opportune collection of thoughts on the visibility of eTwinning projects, and invite you to read members' contributions to this first newsletter of the group. May many more follow! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 2
