The Connecting Classrooms through Global Learning programme (2018-22) was a £34.5m programme jointly funded by the British Council and the UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO, formerly DFID). The programme was co-delivered by the British Council and FCDO and operated across the UK and in 29 overseas countries.
It aimed to work with schools, teachers and students to provide young people with the knowledge and awareness to take action on local and global issues and develop their core and transferable skills. In this event, the panel will assess Ispos Mori's and Learn More's joint independent report that evaluated how succesful the Global Learning programme was at achieving its aims.
