School Partnerships within the Erasmus+ framework are very popular EU Programmes in the field of school education. This study approaches Erasmus+ School Partnerships as tools of europeanization. It is argued that the participation of teachers in school partnerships is a process of europeanization through socialization and social learning, which positively influences teachers' interest in the further introduction of a European dimension in school life. It is also argued that this change is reflected in their school’s attitudes and further actions with a European interest. The study focused on secondary School Partnerships approved in 2014 and 2015. Based on the data and on questionnaire research to a sample of 91 teachers, it is demonstrated that cooperation in a European context is positively linked to the interest of teachers and their institutions for "even more Europe" in school and that further research is needed.
