If you would like to connect with other like-minded schools and teachers to share the DIALLS Teacher Resource Bank or try running DIALLS lessons in collaboration with another class, here are some networks that might be useful.
eTwinning
eTwinning is “the community for schools in Europe”, with over 200,000 schools and nearly 1 million teachers across Europe who work together, learn from each other, develop projects together and share good practice. It provides an opportunity for teachers and schools in one of the European countries involved to collaborate and develop projects together. Please note that the UK is no longer part of this programme as of 2021.
Council of Europe Democratic Schools Network
The Council of Europe Democratic Schools Network supports schools across Europe in building and maintaining democratic culture and promotes projects that favour inclusion. It promotes the sharing of expertise and provides networking opportunities for schools. You can share DIALLS, and other good practice, with other practitioners across Europe by becoming a member of the Network – member schools have their projects presented on a dedicated webpage so thousands of education practitioners across Europe can learn about them.
European Schools Project Association
The European Schools Project Association is a collaborative open network of teachers and schools. It focuses on IT-based innovation in education and aims to promote collaboration and cooperation between pupils, students, educators and researchers, support professional development of teachers and provide access to international networks.
UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network
With over 11,500 member schools in 182 countries throughout the world, the UNESCO Associated Schools Project Network promotes international understanding, peace, intercultural dialogue, sustainable development and quality education in practice. As well as disseminating innovative educational materials and practices and encouraging the integration of UNESCO’s values, it also provides opportunities to connect with other schools and exchange experiences. You can apply to join the network through your national coordinator.
