= Welcome to the site of the Global Gateway Project between Sawston Village College, England and Gymnasium #16, Russia. =



=
The sister school relationship between Krasnoyarsk gymnasium#16( Russia) and Sawston Village College( UK) was made possible through the Global Gateway Initiative program, sponsored by the British Council. In April 2011 seven Russian students and their two teachers visited Sawston Village College, Cambridgeshire, and stayed in the families of their partners. At the moment the Russian students are preparing to meet the guests from Sawston. Even though we are now thousands of miles apart, our two schools continue to communicate regularly through the use of e-mail and skype. We hope the common magazine will be the result of our electronic correspondence this year. The goal of this teen journal is to let students learn about each others' lifestyles in order to avoid further misunderstandings between our countries.We are sure we'll succeed in our new work and we are indeed very grateful that the two schools were joined as twins. May we have good luck and success in our campaign and a wonderful program we plan to make!=====

===** On this site you will find a variety of information about the project as well as various discussion, debates and ideas shared between the two project teams. Below you will find a greeting from Galina Korzhova and Rebecca Haworth, the two lead teachers of the project: **===

Hello to everyone! My name is Galina Korzhova. I am a teacher of English at gymnasium#16 in Krasnoyarsk. I am a coordinator of the international project "Twin Schools" (Sawston Village College - Gymnasium#16 Krasnoyarsk). We called our common work in the project "Discover The World Through Partnership" to promote communication, collaboration and understanding among both teachers and students of the two schools.This year the project aims to integrate technology into our classrooms and curricula and to link both schools to the information superhighway. We collaborate to create a teen journal magazine as the final product of the project. =====

МБОУ Гимназия № 16 третий год принимает участие в новом международном образовательном проекте "Ворота В Глобальный Мир". В рамках проекта школа нашла себе партнёра Соустон Виллидж Колледж (Великобритания) - школу, с которой в данный момент выстраиваются дружеские партнёрские отношения. В этом году целью проекта является создание журнала для учащихся обеих школ, который поможет объединиться, лучше понять друг друга, укрепить дружественные связи между школами и сформировать прочные знания о культуре народов двух стран.

Hello to all! My name is Rebecca Haworth and I am a teacher of Music at Sawston Village College. I am also the International Coordinator in charge of the project of our school twinning between Sawston and Krasnoyarsk. We have been in partnership for two years now (this is our third) and we have learnt so much about each other. Effective communication, collaborative working and learning is integral for a successful project and I am looking forward to continuing and growing our partnership over the coming months. The final product of a teen journal magazine will tell the story of British and Russian culture and what it means to have an identity and share it with people from other parts of the World.
