Overview
Participants will gain practical insights into setting up and managing an exchange programme between schools in New Zealand and Spain. They will also have the opportunity to submit an expression of interest to be matched with a suitable partner school, ensuring the best fit for their students and learning goals. Authentic communication and real-world language use are key to meaningful language learning. In this workshop, we will explore a range of collaborative projects that schools can engage in to strengthen cultural understanding, enhance language skills, and build global connections. Opportunities may include activities such as pen pal exchanges, virtual classroom interactions, and full-immersion exchange trips, offering flexible ways to create authentic learning experiences.
