In 2010 Gardner Thompson of Dulwich College organised the inaugural HMC Africa School conference. Following its success the second Conference was held in 2011 at Oundle School, run by Ian Clark. The third conference will be held at Marlborough College on the 21st February 2012.
Interest from HMC schools in Global School Partnerships and communities projects in the South and worldwide is growing. Also evident was the wealth of information that has already been developed by others; of course the HMC schools are one group of many with similar interests. It is clear that the HMC schools could learn a great deal from the State sector and other nationally managed school organisations and community linking organisations.
The Marlborough Conference will follow two main themes. The first will examine what we mean by 'Partnership' and secondly the focus will be to listen to 'Voices from the South'. Alongside this there will also be an emphasis on curriculum linking and practical tips for establishing partnerships.
