Yes, "establish" is possible in this context. In this sentence, "establish" is used as an infinitive verb to express the action of creating an e-twinning-platform.
2) I can’t afford to buy new shoes. She arranged for her mother to be driven to the airport.
In this sentence, "buy" is an infinitive verb, and "be driven" is a passive infinitive verb phrase. The structure "arranged for [someone/something] to [verb]" is a common way to express arranging an action to be done by someone else.
3) She chose not to buy the shoes. They didn’t dare to walk into the camp.
