We are pleased to announce that one of our Members, The Bewdley School, has been nominated to host a British Council Connecting Conference during the Autumn term of 2019.
The theme of the International Conference is Global Happiness, in particular the health and well-being of young people. Visiting delegates will be from a wide range of different countries with rich and diverse backgrounds. The event will be an exciting opportunity for the school’s students to experience different cultures, as well as building a unique global news story.
During the three-day conference, students will be working alongside visiting students from Egypt, South Korea, India, Uganda, Jordan and Palestine to explore the theme of Global Happiness through the mediums of art, sport, film and music. The visiting students will also meet a variety of community groups and visit local museums and places of interest.
The Bewdley School will also be raising money to fund places at the conference for some of the disadvantaged children from Uganda, Palestine and Jordan through a Charity Raffle and other fun events.
