In this study, special education projects conducted in eTwinning (the European School Education Platform) were analyzed using the systematic analysis method. The projects determined to be implemented between 2017 and 2019 were examined. Twenty-five projects that met the inclusion criteria were analyzed as part of the research. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that the number of projects increased over time, the majority of the projects were conducted with Turkish partners, Turkish teachers established partnerships with Romanian teachers at the highest rate among the program countries, awareness activities comprised the majority of the projects, and the projects did not meet European standards adequately. In addition, it has been determined that the initiatives contribute to the development of teachers' and students' social and information technology skills.
