Uganda Partnership Linking makes 10 years

The Oxfordshire-Uganda linking programme is ten years old this year. With the exception of Burford School’s link which has been going for over 15 years, the earliest links started in 1999 with many schools joining in 2004.

In February this year a group of 32 teachers and 6 students visited Uganda and in June the return group of 36 teachers and students arrived in Oxfordshire. Some of the teachers had visited previously, but the majority in both directions were first timers. In October individual school groups visiting Uganda totalled 15, and this was followed by reciprocal visits of 5 Uganda teachers, 2 of whom came to the Warriner in January and experienced snow for the first time!

An increasing number of schools are developing a global citizenship curriculum that extends well beyond the limits of the British Council grant schemes. Please download the latest newsletter for further details.
