North-South School Links
Involving your school in a school partnership link is a great way to learn about development issues and bring alive the global education element of the citizenship curriculum.
In the past, WGEC has organised linking conferences for Year 5 and 6 pupils and for teachers in The Gambia and Wiltshire. The conferences included inspiring presentations and discussions about the benefits, challenges and aims of linking.
Please contact us if you would like support with a new or existing global school partnership.
