Objectives and Innovative Aspects
What are the specific objectives of the project and what are the instruments used to achieve them?: 
This project creates the possibility to compare special needs education in several European countries and to learn from eachother. It is very interesting to see how every school with different resources, opportunities and ideas Works with children with special needs. By using Photo and video we can see how schools deal with several themes. It stimulats people to try themselves different methods. Some of the members post special days or events on the blog with some pictures. Other people can react with their own experience. Our cooperation leads to the exchange of ideas, materials, experiences, but can also lead to projects with students of the special needs education. By using this website a lot of schools are linked to each other and they can find partners in the big eTwinning world. Colleagues can assist each other in some issues. We learn a lot about using web 2.0 tools. We also work with tools like youtube and we exchange some web links to helpful tools for the students. The online collaboration by using a social network and the creating of a great common database creates the value that every member feels involved. We have a lot of opportunities to communicate. The project started very slowly, but after some time it grew into a community that more and more people wanted to join. Also some people outside of eTwinning wanted to join the project and we decided to allow that. We try to motivate people by putting some themes "˜in the spotlight'. The low access is also motivating. You can work on the project if you have the time or the inspiration for it. If we have more materials online, there is also a higher motivation to post something yourself. Every (even very small) contribution is appreciated.

Background Information
Barriers and Solutions (max. 1000 characters): 
Webspace: We had to replace the website twice. We started in free social network facilities, but twice they started to ask money. That's very disappointing. We use the Twinspace from eTwinning now where we have webspace, support and no costs. it's a choice between freedom and choosing your lay-out or the costs and the support. We choose the second one.
Future plans and wish list (max. 750 characters): 
We want to grow! We are planning to do some effors to have new posts of materials now everything is transfered.
