Here are a few examples of partnership projects which are run digitally in 2024:
River of Hope: Norfolk & Norwich – Rouen
River of Hope is an international art and education project which is aimed at inspiring young people to express their concerns about the climate crises whilst building links with schools internationally.
This year, as part of the programme, 10 primary schools in Rouen are matched with 10 participating schools in Norwich and Norfolk, as part of British Council France's Spotlight on UK Culture programme 2024.
The aim of the project is to help upskill teachers in both countries and provide them with the confidence to utilise arts-based learning in their teaching, by providing in-person and virtual sessions.
See more information about the programme and the wider River of Hope initiative on the Norfolk and Norwich Festival's webpage.
Stronger Together for Schools
Our Stronger Together for Schools Project is a part of our wider ‘Stronger together for Social Action' Programme.
The aim of the project is to bring together pupils aged 15 – 18 from schools in the UK and EU, with two schools from France taking part this year. Participant schools will:
- Attend four virtual facilitated sessions with a British Council facilitator.
- Have access to classroom resources and activity plans.
- Develop a Common Social Action Project.
- Take part in a Social Action Competition.
