World Olympic Dreams

BBC World Class and the British Council are looking for dozens of primary and secondary schools across the UK to twin with schools all over the world and to take part in a special project in the run-up to the London Olympics in 2012.

“We are looking for schools that want to link with others around the world or in the UK, and who are excited about 2012. We want to find inspiring teachers who can share creative work from their pupils with us via the web.”

Winning schools will be partnered with the schools attended by athletes who are part of the BBC’s World Olympic Dreams Project.
