The British Council’s ‘Connecting Classrooms‘ programme supports schools to develop creative learning relationships with international partners. The programme is designed to help young people learn about global issues and become responsible global citizens, supporting the development of skills which they will need to live and work in an increasingly global economy.

Connecting Classrooms offers support for international school partnerships, professional development courses for teachers, accreditation through the British Council ‘International School Award’, and the chance to share practice with international counterparts. Schools can apply for travel grants of £1500 per school to facilitate visits to and from partner schools, assisting the growth of the partnership and collaborative work.
