School Linking
Links with schools overseas are becoming increasingly popular with teachers seeking to bring a global dimension to the classroom. Careful thought and planning is required for these initiatives to be successful and the contacts on this page should help you. We've also got some tips on successful school linking (PDF; 75KB). However, school links are not the only way to develop a global approach in your school and although they can be the impetus for this they can probably be more effectively developed where Global Citizenship is an established element in your school.
