British schools seeking Japanese partners

Schools in Britain can advertise on this page for partners in Japan. If you would like to advertise here please fill out the schools seeking partners form. The advertisement will appear within a few days and we will send you a login ID and password so that you can edit your details.

Teachers can contact the schools listed here directly but we ask you to send a copy of any correspondence to us at the British Council so that we can update our records.

If you would like us to approach the school on your behalf we would be happy to do so.

Information about the link we want:

The link will probably be developed through modern studies or geography classes. It will also play a part in the international education/citizenship agenda. The main thrust for the link being established is the up and coming G8 Summit dealing with world issues such as climate change and poverty.

In the autumn term, starting on 24/10/04 our project will be "Life in a foreign country". The children have expressed a strong interest in finding out more about life in Japan.

Information about our school

The school is a designated language college on the edge of the Tyneside conurbation. Our students come from a variety of backgrounds and are keen to work with schools in other parts of the world . So far we have mainly undertaken projects with European schools, so it would be an excellent opportunity to widen our horizons and experience by communicating regularly with a school in Japan. 

Information about the link we want:

I am an Art and Media teacher so my interests and expertise lie in these areas. If any schools want to exchange ideas, anecdotes, or their own work via email concerning Fine arts, design , TV, movies or magazines I would be very interested .

Information about the link we want:

We are open minded at this stage and would like to make a link with a school to provide our pupils with a real audience so that they can practice their writing skills, either on the computer, or by other means. We feel it would benefit the children to have much more of a global understanding which is why we would like to link up with a school which has a very different culture to ours. Looking at the projects we could organise, we are working towards being able to use video conferencing and also the use of webpage/multimedia projects.
