GSP Starter Grant

Global School Partnerships introduces new Starter Grants to encourage new school partnerships that promote global learning through the curriculum.

One thousand grants of £250 each will be distributed over the next three years to help UK schools explore the possibility of embarking on a global partnership. The grant is available at the beginning of a school’s partnership journey to support them in finding a partner.

The Starter Grants will fund eligible activities and will be available throughout the year to schools that do not already have a Global School Partnership.

The grant can provide supply cover and travel to attend one of the GSP Introduction to Global School Partnerships workshops. For dates and locations of the workshops please visit: http://www.dfid.gov.uk/globalschools/workshops

The grant can also fund the cost of in-school training from a local Development Education Centre (DEC). Please visit www.dea.org.uk/members/decs.asp for contact details of your local DEC.
