Connecting Classrooms is a school partnership project. It connects groups or clusters of schools between Central and South Asia and the UK to strengthen cultural exchange and build an international dimension into education. Connecting Classrooms provides a rich platform for teachers and students to better understand each other’s societies and cultures and prepare them more effectively for life and work in today’s inter-connected world.
In an increasingly interconnected and intercultural world, it is essential to bring global issues to life for young people and promote a healthy respect for the similarities and differences between countries and cultures.
Connecting Classrooms in Central and South Asia builds mutually beneficial partnerships between schools and educationists in the UK and Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Afghanistan. Clusters of schools from these countries will work together with clusters of schools in the UK.
If you are a young learner, you will get the chance to work together with other learners from diverse countries to develop each other’s work skills and better understand each other’s worlds.
If you are a teacher, you will learn from professional development opportunities (particularly in child-centred learning, English language and Information and Communications Technology) to raise the standard of learning and teaching in classrooms.
If you represent a school, your school will get the opportunity to enrich intercultural understanding by linking with other schools in Kazakhstan and in the UK.
Initially for two years.
- We support schools in establishing international linkages
- We then support them in designing and implementing classroom projects that promote intercultural dialogue
- We also assist teachers and educators by connecting them with networks of professional learning, to encourage the development of teaching skills, particularly in the area of child-centred learning.
