Maintain an effective partnership

Be receptive to new ideas and approaches from your partner school. Understanding each other is key and be prepared for anything. Effective partnerships are flexible, responsive and proactive. They can only happen when people have equal commitment and enthusiasm.

Schools are busy places and sometimes unforeseen circumstances can get in the way of collaborative activities. So expect some roadblocks to occur at some stage. The better prepared you both are for this, the more regularly you communicate with each other and the more open that communication is, the greater your chances of overcoming any problems.

Planning is essential.

And, if things aren’t working out, ask someone for help. Contact the BRIDGE Project staff at bridge@asialink.unimelb.edu.au for their advice and support.
