Partnership Activity through Covid (and other challenging times)

Through practical restrictions and resource constraints, Covid has challenged the school partnership landscape.  In this webinar we will give ideas for Covid-safe, low-cost projects and guide participants in forming an action plan based on their own local opportunities.  We will share tips on what works well, what to avoid and how to get started!
