Welcome to the new school year and the latest issue of the British Council’s Learning World magazine. In this issue, we showcase how schools and colleges use the themes of health and fitness as a focus for international projects and professional development.

Similarly, the broad-ranging topic of health can be applied to exciting cross-curricular projects which become a great deal more relevant and fascinating when carried out with partners in other countries. I hope you enjoy this issue and that it gives you inspiration for the year ahead.
