Partners and sponsors

This virtual exchange programme has been set up as part of our cooperation between the Goethe-Institut and UK-German Connection.

Together, we promote digital collaboration between pupils through exciting, easily accessible learning resources and mini projects and supports existing or new partnerships when in-person visits are not possible and/or to keep contact active in-between visits. The programme culminates in an in-person schools partnership event for schools that are interested in developing, strengthening and enhancing their partnership.

e-Space is part of the GIMAGINE project, which forms part of the National Consortium for Languages Education (NCLE).
