ESP is the oldest network organisation in the world focussing on ICT-based innovation of education
In 1987 the European Schools Project was born.
Every year conferences have been organised for and by teachers, educators and researchers. These are working conferences in which interaction and collaboration are central. The main goal is for participants to return to their schools and start international computer supported collaborative learning projects (CSCL-projects).
Over the years thousands of teachers and students have successfully worked together on collaborative projects in many languages.
The overarching aim of ESP has been, still is, and will be: the ICT-based innovation of our indispensable social systems: SCHOOLS.
