Making Links with www.wotw.org.uk/northsouth

A new website has been launched to help UK schools set up links and partnerships with schools in Africa, Asia, Latin America and The Caribbean. With this support, setting up links with other parts of the world is much easier. Links by post or e mail can grow into lasting partnerships, including school visits in both directions.

Would you like your school to make a link with a school in a developing country?
If so, ask your teacher to register on www.wotw.org.uk
Many schools in the UK have already established links with schools in the developing world. The three case studies here show that no links are the same, yet all the schools involved agree that their partnerships have given them a new and exciting way to learn about other people and places.
