1. Relationship building: Twinning and partnerships can help build stronger relationships between school staff (and learners) in different schools. These relationships are one of the most important preconditions for lasting contacts and collaboration (sustainable contacts) and they can be drawn upon when either of the schools have a need which their partner can assist with or when opportunities arise for working together for instance in projects.
2. Networking: Twinning and partnerships can contribute to greater networking, for instance when the schools involved in collaboration are exposed to each other's existing local and regional networks.
3. Mobility of teachers and learners: Twinning and partnerships are useful when schools want to create opportunities for teachers and learners. A partner school can host teachers and learners but it can also create the necessary contacts to companies and social partner organizations for visits.
4. Twinning and partnerships can take many different forms. Activities are mostly organizedas projects: There are at least 5 main categories:'
1 .Training exchanges,
2. lnformation exchanges,
3. Technical exchanges,
4. Collaboration on specific initiatives or projects and
5. E-Twinning.
These categories are often combined in a bigger project or partnership activity.
