Australia-Asia BRIDGE School Partnerships
The Australia-Asia BRIDGE School Partnerships Project (Building Relationships through Intercultural Dialogue and Growing Engagement) provides Australian teachers and students with the opportunity to engage with their peers in Asia through:
face-to-face ‘establishment visit’ of a teacher from Asia travelling to Australia and spending time in an Australian school community. These visits are then reciprocated.
use of Information and Communications Technologies (ICT) to support a range of online interactions between partner schools led by teachers and students.
Australia in the Asian Century White Paper, School Education objectives
10. Every Australian student will have significant exposure to studies of Asia across the curriculum to increase their cultural knowledge and skills and enable them to be active in the region.
All schools will engage with at least one school in Asia to support the teaching of a priority Asian language, including through increased use of the National Broadband Network.
