Description:
Reaching Out is about widening horizons and celebrating the diversity and similarities we share with students and teachers all over the world. From our lead CP school- Stifford Clays in Essex we created links with schools in Australia, Japan and Peru. We put together a joint project called ‘The Global Games Exchange’ where young people in each country shared their favourite games with all the participants. To develop this relationship we were lucky enough to secure British Council Funding to send 2 teachers and CP practitioners to Cusco to meet and work directly with our Peruvian partners. Peruvian staff are due to visit SCJ later this year. The learning from our joint work has exceeded all expectations- staff and creative practitioners were energised and inspired by this brilliant opportunity which has widened their perspectives in relation to teaching and learning.
