Introduction to Global School Partnerships – Online Course
Login (for registered participants)
Our online course, Introduction to Global School Partnerships, provides an outline of the principles and practices of global dimension learning partnerships between schools in the UK and schools in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. It can be accessed from anywhere in the world with internet availability.
It will enable you to:
- Explore the contribution that a global dimension can make to school curricula and ethos and how a school partnership can enhance this
- Consider the practicalities of developing a new partnership
- Decide whether this kind of partnership is right for you and your school
- Identify the support that is available from DFID Global School Partnerships and from others.
An outline of the course structure is given in the diagram below.
Who is the course for?
This course is suitable for staff from schools considering forming a global dimension partnership with a school in another continent (see DGSP: Eligible Countries). It will also be of interest to those who have already done the introductory face-to-face workshop (see DGSP: Introduction to Global Schools Partnerships) and who wish to use the materials with colleagues or personally revisit and explore some of the ideas in more depth.
DFID Global School Partnerships offers a series of face-to-face workshops on which this online course is based. You may prefer, if you are able, to enrol on one of these workshops.
DFID Global School Partnerships offers a range of accreditation opportunities for teachers involved in partnerships with global dimension goals.
DFID Global School Partnerships works closely with development education practitioners across the UK. Visit the Development Education Association (DEA) for more details about professional development opportunities in the UK.
