Benefits for local education authorities

local education authorities

'We have long been convinced of the benefits of region-to-region collaboration. It provides a firm framework for supporting developmental work, school links and teacher training opportunities on scales that would otherwise be difficult to achieve. We were therefore delighted when Comenius Regio was announced.'
North Eastern Education and Library Board, Northern Ireland Regio Partnership with Spain

What can you do?

Regio Partnerships: the latest addition to the Comenius programme. UK education authorities form strategic partnerships with equivalent education bodies in other European countries. Collaborating with schools and other third party organisations in their regions, the partners work together over a two-year period to examine topics of interest or concern to both regions. Partnerships benefit the whole community.
In-Service Training: you can spend time job shadowing at an educational authority in another European region. Alternatively, you can attend courses and conferences in other European countries. School staff can also participate in this part of Comenius.
Promote other Comenius activities to schools and colleges in your region: through School Partnerships and eTwinning, schools and colleges in your region make links with educational institutions in other European countries to work together on cross-curricular projects. Through the Comenius Assistants programme, schools and colleges host a future teacher from another European country.

Centralised Projects: If you have had previous experience of Comenius with schools in your area, you may be interested in getting involved in a Comenius network. These networks allow for wider dissemination of findings and products developed within the framework of Comenius.
