Conferences

Fifth annual conference, 19 January 2006 - Paris

The fifth annual LC-SE conference was held at the CIEP in Sèvres in Paris on 19-20 January 2006. As in previous years, coordinators from schools joining the project were able to meet their new partners face to face and to plan activities together. This personal contact at an early stage in the partnerships is a great strength of the LC-SE programme and is invaluable in helping schools to make lasting partnerships.

Most of the participating English schools in the fifth phase are Language Colleges, but a small number of schools of other specialisms joined the programme in 2006. We are keen to encourage schools with specialisms other than languages to submit applications and have special interest in involving schools wishing to work with a French partner on vocational link building service. Work experience in France is becoming increasingly popular as an activity within the LC-SE programme. Support and advice from teachers experiencing success with work experience can be found in case studies, visits and advice on this website.

At the conference, it was a pleasure to see a presentation from a Mathematics and Computing College for the first time. Delegates enjoyed presentations of successful projects from teachers in all phases of the programme, as well as presentations from Véronique Renault from the Institut Français in London and an explanation of the e-twinning programme.

Our thanks are extended to the CIEP for hosting the evening reception to welcome teachers from participating schools and to representatives of TV5monde for their presentation of materials to support cross curricular projects.

Fourth annual conference, 21 January 2005 - London

The fourth annual LC-SE project conference was hosted by the Grey Coat Hospital School, a language college in Westminster. Schools joining the project in the fourth tranche were able to meet their partners and to discuss their project plans for the future. This is the first year specialist schools other than language colleges have been invited to join the programme and we were pleased to welcome mathematics and computing colleges, business and enterprise colleges and engineering colleges. Delegates were able to see presentations of successful projects by teachers from schools in the first three years of the project. Thanks are extended to the Institut Français in London for hosting an evening reception to welcome representatives from participating schools in France and England. Thanks also to presenters from the British Council and Science Across the World who made delegates aware of exciting opportunities available for joint international projects.
