TEACHERS and pupils from three Herefordshire schools along with their partner schools in Tanzania are thinking deeply about world issues.
They are among the first schools to benefit from British Council core skills training.
The teachers travelled to Tanzania to share project ideas designed to develop critical thinking and reasoning skills.
Pupils in both countries are considering data and issues around hunger, sustainable and ethical food sources and the environment.
Planting fruit trees, tomatoes and African keyhole gardens are practical ways of encouraging pupils in both countries to deliberate real world issues.
During a recent visit to Tanzania the teachers were involved in a British Council conference attended by delegates from Nigeria, South Sudan, Ghana and Mozambique. The school links were established through the Leominster-Tengeru partnership which began in 1988.
