Learn about this FREE Virtual Exchange program. This programme is in preparation for an initiative starting in September and finishing in December. Classrooms around the Globe connect using Know My World’s philosophy. It is for teachers, but I assume that it is so that they can organise the event.

Other events
I haven’t included them here for two reasons. Either they take place at untimely hours such as 2 or 6 o’clock in the morning. Or the topics they cover are not suitable for our students.
An excellent opportunity for students to communicate with other students from distant or near places, in English.
