Teachers in Action

Friday, 30 September 2016

School year starts in Palestine and the UK... and the teachers' visit to Palestine is soon!

It seems a long time since the Palestinian teachers' visit to the UK in January, and many things have happened in Palestinian and UK schools, in both countries themselves - there will be lots to talk about when we meet.

In CADFA (we've had 4 visits to Palestine and one to the UK in that space of time! See twinninginaction.blogspot.co.uk). T

Now we're looking forward to the return visit of the Teachers in Action project, at the end of October when the UK teachers have a holiday. Some of the UK teachers involved in the January visit will be among the group travelling to Palestine - hoping to see all of our old friends!!

Here is a picture from the January conference showing Adnan, headteacher from Assawiya, Kevin who is now the General Secretary of the NUT and Una, a Camden teacher, Chair of Camden NUT and a CADFA trustee.

Preparing for the return visit!

In both Palestine and the UK, the new school year is starting very soon but we hope that you are all having a happy holiday till the last minute!
It's exciting to see the applications coming in for the return visit of UK teachers travelling to Palestine in October. This is the other side of the Palestinian visit to the UK and will take 14 teachers to see Palestine and visit their partner schools. We're happy that there will be teachers from all the partner places involved in January but we do currently have some places left (perhaps there will be a rush at the beginning of September?) so we do welcome applications for these.

This picture has not much to do with it! It is a teachers' strike picture from earlier in the year in Palestine...
