With the partnership established in 2012, Brackenbury Primary School and Beza Primary and Secondary School have now completed their second partnership visit.

“Thanks to the British Council Connecting Classrooms grant and the excellent support of Link Ethiopia, the partnership continues to develop – engaging both school communities in sharing experiences and working together on learning projects which address global issues. In February this year, three teachers from Brackenbury were fortunate to be able to visit Beza School. A reciprocal visit is being planned for later this year.”

“As the gates to Beza opened, we were greeted with flags, songs and welcoming smiles. It was good to be returning to the school which is now firmly our friend. The Link Ethiopia club members at Beza gave us a fantastic welcome and shared information on the traditions of Ethiopia, including a wonderful coffee ceremony. The Head and Link Coordinator at Beza organized an informative week of lesson observations and experience sharing with teachers. They also provided excellent opportunities for us to work together on our focus projects: playground games and gardening.”
