The Open University and British Council, together with Lion Television and the BBC have produced a special free DVD resource pack for schools. The packs aim to encourage inter-cultural dialogue and draws on three Open University/BBC FOUR TV series – African School, Indian School and Chinese School. The packs, which are distributed free to interested schools in the UK and Overseas, feature short video clips from the three series along with background information and a series of discussion points to raise questions and stimulate debate. How are school elections run in Africa, India and China? What are students thinking as they prepare for exams or represent the school in a dance competition? The aim of the pack is to support teachers and learners in efforts to become more knowledgeable about the issues facing schools outside of the UK. It will support teachers' continuing professional development, help to raise awareness of global development issues and to contribute to and support community development programmes. The packs form part of the British Council's Connecting Classrooms programme, which creates sustainable partnerships between schools worldwide to build trust and understanding between people in different societies and support young people's development as global citizens. Dr Sally Crompton, Head of the Open Broadcast Unit at The Open University, who commissioned the three series along with the BBC, said: "We produce some fant ...
