Connecting Classrooms

Filmed in partnership with the British Council, these videos tell the story of schools involved in the Connecting Classrooms programme in Latin America.

This global programme creates sustainable partnerships between schools in the UK and around the world - to help develop understanding between different communities, to bring an international dimension to young people’s learning, and to prepare them for life and work in the global economy.

The videos here feature partnerships between headteachers from the UK and those from schools across Latin America and the Caribbean. These links have involved students, teachers and the wider school community.

In association with:
