School partnerships

School linking can be an exciting and valuable educational experience for pupils and teachers, and can add a lot to the development of a Global Citizenship approach in schools. But it’s also a demanding, complicated and time-consuming process which doesn’t automatically lead to good Global Citizenship education. A bad school link, undertaken without enough thought or preparation, can be a very negative experience for both link partners.

Oxfam can support you in planning and developing a link. Our new publication Building Successful School Partnerships is a short guide to the key questions you need to consider before embarking on a school link. It might not give you all of the answers, but will help you to plan a good quality link which is sustainable over the long term.

Don’t forget – school linking is only one of a range of ways you can develop your pupils as Global Citizens. Find out more about Global Citizenship.
