Designed for schools ready to take the first supported step into delivering global citizenship. Members join a curated group of up to 10 schools worldwide to work on themed, collaborative projects that fit their curriculum and timetable.
Schools are able to participate in themed global collaboration, with a clear framework, regular points of contact and connections to other schools worldwide. Access support from peers and mentors, and join meaningful exchanges within your group.
Guided by our team, teachers can gain confidence and support, while building curiosity and cultural awareness with their students through meaningful digital exchanges. Schools can launch themed projects of their choosing, or be guided on key topics like languages and culture.
It’s a unique way to provide authentic global experiences, and deliver them easily within the classroom.
