The European Schools Project Association (ESP Association) was founded in 2005. The Association is a collaborative open network organization for educators and researchers in Europe and beyond. It builds on the European Schools Project that started in 1988, on the work done in the Comenius3 thematic networks ECOLE and COMP@CT, that wereco-financed by the European Commission, and on all related inspiring experiences and expertise that all members of the international ESP-Association make available to their fellow members, and to all others
Teleprojects and e-Journalism are the main educational concepts based on computer supported collaborative learning (CSCL) that lie at the basis of the activities within the ESP-Association.
