Scotland Malawi Partnership Forum

Some suggestions as to how best start a partnership with a school in Malawi.  Please feel free to add to these!

  -  Contact schools in your area that have an established partnership.  The Scotland Malawi Partnership are creating a database of all Scottish schools that have links to Malawi; this should be available online in early 2009.

  -  Speak to members of your community - it might be that a local church or community group have contacts in Malawi and will know of a teacher or school to contact.

  -  For advice on School Partnerships in general, check out these websites:

  -  The Scotland Malawi Partnership are in the process of developing an extensive Directory, with a section devoted to starting a partnership. So watch this space!  We are also hoping to have a list of all schools in Malawi, so Scottish schools can identify what schools are looking for a partner
