Africa School Linking
a unique tool for UK secondary schools.
Schools can adopt and adapt Africa School
Linking
to help with initiating a first link with an African school
or to provide an exciting new dimension to an existing link.
Africa School Linking provides opportunities
for UK students to travel to Africa for a 7 or 10 day programme:
- To meet, live and learn alongside African students of the same
age
- To combine with fellow students of different cultures
- To engage in hands-on vocational learning
- To gain practical, engineering-based skills development around
a favourite teenage topic - bikes
Bike workshops within linked African
secondary schools enable students to come together with their peers
to:
- Train in bike maintenance and repair
- Exercise their new skills with bikes
- Travel around local communities and further afield.
- Visit places of educational interest.
- Participate in a real life geography, history and global citizenship
lesson.
- Enhance understanding through authentic experience of how African
people live
Africa School Linking offers complete
flexibility to individual school requirements and budgets.
Students:
- Travel in a party of 8-20 students, led by teaching staff from
their own school
- Experience African life first hand
- Stay with local host families [optional]
- Learn bike maintenance directly alongside their African peers
Bikes and bike maintenance training are
a perfect vehicle:
- For students of different continents to learn about each other
and their cultures.
- To create a most unique learning situation.
We would be delighted to hear from school students or teachers
interested in either:
Linking a school
with an African school.
