Shared Mindspace is a great way to combine novel student exchange with the curriculum of multiple subjects.

It allows schools and teachers to influence the way a student exchange is handled, to encourage kids they feel are most suited for the programme and to use the result to make a range of subjects more interesting and more memorable to their pupils. Shared Mindspace also gives classes the opportunity to turn the process into a community thing: classes can actively participate in the preparations to send off one of their classmates and they should cooperate in being a host class to the exchange partner. As a next step the exchange can be used to prepare the next round a year or two later: very likely interest will be higher to follow suit once they have seen how inspiring and how much fun it can be to venture beyond well known territory.


	condensed to three minutes, here’s what Parental Pals think about teachers:


	” ... see kids as who they are and who they can be ... !”

And because of the way Shared Mindspace works, you can now encourage the kids you think have the potential! Now it’s no longer a mere question of bank balance and educational background of the parents. No, it’s a major step to fairer chances for young folks with genuine interest and the right attitude.
