The Learning Together program promotes long-term partnerships between UK schools and schools in more than 60 countries.
Through partnerships, the program builds relationships between young people from different countries based on mutual understanding and trust, and encourages the study and appreciation of different cultures in schools. The program was created in collaboration with education leaders, education departments, and educators from around the world.
“Learning Together has already brought together students and teachers from 10 Ukrainian schools who work closely in a partnership group with schools in Malta, Cyprus, and the United Kingdom. In total, the program represents about 300 schools from across Europe. Participation in the program is free of charge.
The gymnasium joined the program in November 2011. The project coordinator at the gymnasium is the deputy principal Ananieva N. V.
Benefits of participation
Young people study together with peers from different cultures and communities. The program helps to develop intercultural understanding and the ability to live and work in a global environment.
Teachers and school leaders will be supported in developing international partnerships and integrating the global dimension into their curricula. In this way, they will be able to enrich the content of young people's education, improve their professional skills and make a significant contribution to the achievement of school-wide goals.
The program is supported by the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sports of Ukraine, as well as education authorities in other countries. This allows us to focus on national priorities, helps to achieve key educational goals, and makes partnerships last.
