Connecting Classrooms to Re-open for Applications (UK)
The British Council has announced that the next application deadline for schools to apply to the Connecting Classrooms programme will be the 21st October 2011.
Under Connecting Classrooms, grants are available to schools and local authorities/federations of schools (or affiliated bodies) from the UK to set up partnerships with schools usually from two different countries within one continent.
The aim of these partnerships is to bring an international dimension to young peoples learning, to improve their knowledge and understanding of other cultures and prepare them for life and work as global citizens.
Partnerships last for three years, initially, and participating schools are eligible for funding to support activities and projects that sustain the link during this period.
The level of funding available depends upon the countries involved in the partnership. The British Council will provide further information in the summer term about the partner countries available and the application process. Last year the participating regions included sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, Central and South Asia, East Asia, Middle East, Chinaand Latin America.
