Teacher resources

Everything you need, already prepared.

A practical pack for primary and secondary classrooms. Use the bits that fit your class - skip the bits that don't.

The essential pack

What every teacher gets.

Web pages you can browse now, and print or save as a PDF from your browser whenever you're ready. Free for every school - no registration needed to view them.

Looking for country-specific material? Every country has its own culture briefing - greetings, facts, food, music, festivals and classroom activities - at /countries.

Session formats

Pick a format. We'll adapt the pack.

Every session is 15 to 30 minutes - you and your partner teacher agree the length that suits both classes. Where time zones don't overlap, an asynchronous exchange works just as well.
