Now that we are only meeting once each term, the OWL Schools Support Group would very much like to visit one school each term to talk with other staff and/or the Headteacher (possibly at a staff meeting?) to discuss ways of sustaining the Link there.  

 

If you would like us to come to your school either this term or next, please contact us by email education@oneworldlink.org.uk so that we can arrange a suitable time.

Welcome

Welcome to the Schools section of the Warwick-Bo One World Link.

We are a group of volunteers here in Warwick District, mostly, but not all, ex-teachers, who are trying to support the efforts of working teachers in our linked schools.  We keep

them informed of OWL activities, facilitate meetings for them to share experiences and difficulties, arrange visitors, produce teaching materials and resources, give lessons and assemblies; and generally do what we can to nurture our school links with Bo Town in Sierra Leone.

 

 

COMMUNICATING WITH BO

 

The great news is that communication with Bo is just about to get easier - email has arrived at last! Email has been around in Sierra Leone for some time, of course, but it has been difficult for most people to access as well as being expensive.

But now Bo-OWL has installed broadband facility at the One World Link Centre in Bo.

In conjunction with Judith Walker, Warwickshire School’s International Development Officer, we are in the process of applying to the British Council  for a DofE  Area Linking Visit Grant for a cluster of schools to go to Bo, Sierra Leone (West Africa), possibly during the  week before half-term February 14th – 18th, 2011.  Each school would have one representative, preferably the headteacher, to visit and work with a matched school in Bo on developing a lasting and mutually beneficial  partnership. If it were another member of your staff, they would need full backing of the headteacher to take the project forward.  

We need to establish as quickly as possible, preferably by the end of this term, those schools in Central Warwickshire who wish to participate in this visit. One World Link would coordinate the application, which should minimise the administrative burden on schools.
To register an expression of interest, please reply by the end of term. Click here.
