1. teachers about themselves (SWOT)• low ICT competences• insufficient language skills• lack of cooperation
between teachers
![Page 23: How we do it in Poland - M. Chodakowska-Malkiewicz and D. Tokarz](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060115/5576a883d8b42ad8038b51b4/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
2. teachers about their work environment (SWOT)
• insufficient ICT equipment• sometimes… NO from
the school head • poor cooperation between
the eTwinning representatives in regions
• lack of support from the local edu authorities
![Page 24: How we do it in Poland - M. Chodakowska-Malkiewicz and D. Tokarz](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022060115/5576a883d8b42ad8038b51b4/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
New approach of information and promotional campaign by the PL NSS:
• Regional Conferences in cities like Gdansk, Bialystok, Olsztyn, Warsaw, Cracow etc.
• Regional Competitions – local authorities e.g. Sopot or Podlaskie Region
• Stronger ties with the local media• Closer cooperation between
ambassadors and promoters
