Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning

Author: Liz Neil, British Council

It has never been so important for young people to understand global challenges, to make sense of them, and to feel informed and empowered to take action. Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning provides free classrooms resources, with new activities around the themes of learning from pandemics, mental health and wellbeing, and life on land. Funding is available for schools to work on collaborative projects, focused on the Sustainable Development Goals, with partners overseas. Partnership projects are a fantastic foundation for interdisciplinary learning and provide the opportunity to create a learning community, working in clusters with others, locally and internationally. This offers a great opportunity to engage learners on real issues and bring them to life, supporting literacy, language, intercultural understanding and more.

Help is available to support partner finding, application writing and project planning. There are also free, high-quality professional learning opportunities. Look out for partnership funding calls in early 2021. For further information, visit the Connecting Classrooms website or contact connectingclassrooms@lfsscotland.org.
