School representatives from the eTwinning community are due to meet in Zagreb, Croatia, from 5 to 7 November for a conference focused on mentoring and whole-school development. The European School Education Platform announced the programme on 20 October.
Participants will include mentors and mentees from the pilot eTwinning Schools mentoring scheme. The programme is designed to let experienced and less experienced schools compare approaches, discuss challenges and develop strategies for sustained change.
The agenda includes a session on school-to-school mentoring, workshops on collaborative development, shared leadership, citizenship education and international collaboration, and an activity in which mentors and mentees will prepare action plans for strengthening areas of the eTwinning School mission.
For school leaders outside the event, the programme offers a useful question to consider: whether peer support between institutions is connected to specific development goals and practical follow-up. The announcement presents the conference as an opportunity for exchange; it does not yet provide evidence about the outcomes of the mentoring pilot.
The platform says plenary sessions on 5 and 7 November will be streamed without registration. Readers should consult the official announcement for the published times and viewing links.
