International contact between schools, leading to contact between individual students is one of those aspirations that many teachers consider too challenging, too time consuming or simply too expensive. At the same time, most professionals realise that the potential educational benefits are substantial.
Merganser has years of experience of facilitating and delivering this kind of experience. We are experienced in:
- Supporting objective setting and planning;
- Identification of international partners;
- Sourcing funding support (for example we currently support schools in accessing funding under the UK Turing scheme);
- Guidance on sourcing travel and other logistics;
- Packages for international in-service training
All those involved in education work in Merganser are qualified teachers, and are fully aware of the competing demands of the classroom. We are able to bring our extensive international experience to bear working with teachers to plan and deliver successful experience.
If, as a teacher, you want to discuss any of these aspects send an email to us at contact@merganser.co.uk, with a phone number and a time we can call you to have an informal conversation.
