Applications for the 2021 Indonesia BRIDGE School Partnerships Programs are now open.

The BRIDGE School Partnerships Program are (fully or partly) funded and focuses on building global competency in your school and building teacher capability in the following areas: 

• - strengthening intercultural understanding and values
• - building new technology skills for teaching and learning
• - developing sustainable school partnerships; and 
• - establishing and supporting a community of learners across the Asia-Pacific. 

The 2021 BRIDGE School Partnerships Programs will be delivered in adherence with Australian Government policies regarding COVID-19 and explore a range of creative and interactive virtual components.

The BRIDGE School Partnerships Program does not require foreign language capabilities, although this can result in added student outcomes. The professional learning element is focused on identifying ways in which BRIDGE collaboration can be built into current teaching practice, and it doesn't require extra-curricular commitment.

To apply for the Indonesian program, register at the link for Indonesia. 
Applications close 13 December 2020.
For further information, contact BRIDGE.
