Teachers in Action Update 25th November


Dear everyone involved in this exciting project, some notes on where we’ve got to…

(1)    PARTNER SCHOOLS - We have a list of partner schools which will be in the middle of the project (see below).

(2)    PALESTINIAN TEACHERS - Palestinian teachers have given in their visa applications and have had one meeting.  

(3)    Some of the teachers have sent photographs and one has sent something for the blog – we welcome this from all of you.

(4)    RESIDENTIAL ARRANGEMENTS - We have many applications from UK teachers and are hoping to confirm all places by Friday. We’re giving a little more time hoping to have someone on the residential from each link school and we need to know the group before we can firm up arrangements for travel and also answer those of you who don’t have partner schools but want to join us!

(5)    PREPARATION FOR THE RESIDENTIAL - Details to UK teachers will follow agreeing places (later this week). Palestinian teachers please let us know  your own role.

(6)    PLACES INVOLVED - The programme is getting firmer each day and we hope you will help us to publicise it. We think there will be teachers in (and meetings in) all of the places below – so tell friends and specially teachers who are nearby. We hope to have publicity for these events very soon and will put things on Dropbox/ on the project blog.

(7)    SCHOOL TWINNING WITH PALESTINE CONFERENCE - Please do your best to advertise the conference on Saturday 16th January especially to teachers or people interested in twinning with Palestine.


(8)    PRESS AND PUBLICITY - We would appreciate help with publicity for the project as a whole – it’s ambitious and probably a first – and special anyway. Do you know people who would write/ broadcast about it in your area or nationally?
