Our Introductory workshop (Introduction to global school partnerships) is aimed at school staff that are considering starting a global school partnership or who have just initiated such a partnership. This online course explores the potential educational benefits and practicalities of incorporating the global dimension using a global school partnership and the availability of regional and national support.

The DGSP Course is suitable for school staff currently engaged in established learning partnerships. Each one-day session investigates different aspects of global school partnerships:

			Building Effective Partnerships (explores motivations for equity-based partnerships and examines relationships between colleagues working in differently resourced teaching environments)
			A Global Dimension in the Curriculum (explores the opportunities for collaborative curricular work with global dimension goals)
			Involving Communities (explores the benefits of community involvement)
			Understanding Education and Development (explores issues related to education in Southern countries)

The programme is being developed and delivered in collaboration with regional Enabling Effective Support (EES) networks and development education providers.

Teachers can plan to attend either some or all of the sessions. Formal accreditation may be available for teachers who complete the whole DGSP Course.  

The costs of each session are being met by DFID Global School Partnerships, and places are free to teachers. Booking is essential
