Link2Learn winners
To celebrate excellence
and innovation in international school partnerships, the British
Council, supported by HSBC Global Education Trust held the
Link2Learn Awards. Entrants were required to
submit a series of brief descriptions of their international school
partnership work, as evidence of the impact and enrichment of the
international dimensions of the teaching and learning in their
school or local authority.
The standard of entries across the
five categories was very high and all showed an excellent,
innovative and committed approach to developing and supporting the
enriching and creative international dimensions of teaching and
learning.
Many congratulations to all of the
outstanding prize recipients and a huge thank you to all of the
fantastic schools, international co-ordinators and our local
authority champions who continue to develop, disseminate and
support our work. The winners and runners-up will receive their
cheques from Simon Martin of HSBC at the 10th anniversary DCSF ISA
presentation event on Friday 16 October.
