Headteachers and teachers who have visited schools in Latin America demonstrate how their experiences have invigorated teaching and learning in secondary and primary schools in England. The visits have led to international communication between pupils about their schools and lifestyles, but have also brought new ideas and insights into the classroom. This programme features South Dartmoor Community College, where the technology department uses designs from Brazil; West Drayton Primary, in west London, which is introducing Portuguese; Willingdon Community School in Sussex, where the citizenship class debates the meaning of national identity; and Willingdon Primary, which is teaching Spanish to all years including reception. The programme highlights the importance of international partnerships to help prepare young people for their place in a global society.
