You will learn from the experiences of Scottish schools whose partnerships have thrived in spite of the obstacles they have faced together, along with a suite of tools to use in developing engaging joint curriculum projects to enhance teaching and learning in both schools. Links to Curriculum for Excellence will be clearly demonstrated along the way.

This space is a chance for you to :

• Evaluate what your partnership currently looks like
• Create a five year vision
• Establish effective and fair partnership agreements
• Plan an effective school visit
• Understand how power impacts on your partnership
• Maintain a long term partnership

This partnership focused CLPL provides invaluable support to any schools looking to build sustainable and meaningful connections both locally and globally. You will leave with the confidence to take forward the learning and apply to your own school partnership.

Schools in more than 50 countries have discovered that an school partnership provides an ideal way for young people to learn about the wider world, become active global citizens and prepare for work in a global economy. There’s no more authentic way for pupils to learn about global issues than by working with their peers in another country.

Currently the network of all five Scottish Development Education Centres (DECs) is working together to deliver professional learning online to teachers across Scotland while face-to-face sessions are not possible. Each course will be led by one of the regional DECs: Scotdec, WOSDEC, One World Centre, Aberdeen for a Fairer World/Montgomery DEC and Highland One World.

All 32 local authority areas in Scotland are covered by a DEC – for full details, including locations and how to contact your local DEC, please visit ideas-forum.org.uk/about-us/decs
