Time, Talent and Technology - across 3 countries and philosophies - shaping the future
Date du début: 1 déc. 2016, Date de fin: 31 mai 2019 PROJET  TERMINÉ 

Project summary• Context and background. The extension and continuation of the previous exchange between Bedford and Copenhagen. To include a third country (Helsinki) and have a specific focus on the elements of “Time, technology and talent”. How can we improve our use of all three by studying and working with other countries and viewing how they develop their pupils in these areas. The idea is for two countries to simultaneously visit the third, spend time in schools and educational settings, compare, contrast, consider and feedback to the host about their practice, excellence and the differences seen. Objectives: To help shape change in three countries that are all going through reform. To share best practice, establish long term educational links and to use each other’s expertise to not only improve what each partner does, but for it to branch out and be shared with more schools and stakeholders locally, nationally and internationally.Number and profile of participants: 11 stakeholders, 4 in the UK, 3 in Denmark and 3 in Finland. All outlined in the bid, from a variety of backgrounds, some secondary, some primary, some through schools, a University and a Company that delivers innovative teaching to pupils in Denmark are included. Description of activities: Activities include visits by all 3 countries to each other (2 countries visit simultaneously and one hosts), conferences before and after, the setting up of a hub to share practice online via E-twinning training, the sharing of best practice via working committees afterwards, the delivery of a thesis at the conclusion.Methodology: Observation, discussion, interviews, questionnaires, and the writing of a thesis.Description of results, impact and long term benefits: To an extent we don’t want to second guess this as we don’t want conclusions before we find them. We want to impact all three countries by changing practice at local level via what is learned in the research. We would like that to then impact further to the national and international level via the thesis, presentation to the British Council conference and beyond. We would hope the long term benefits would be both improved practice and strong international ties that act as critical friends to improve the educational experience for pupils and staff.
