Exchange Opportunities

Since October 2004, nine UKLA members from the various parts of the UK have spent a week in Sweden, staying with members of SKIRA, the Swedish Association, and spending time in their schools.  Their hosts have in turn spent a week in the UK.  All those involved have found the exchange fascinating, enlightening and thoroughly enjoyable.  We have much to learn from our Swedish counterparts! (and they’ve learned quite a bit from us too.)

If you might be interested to participate in this school year or next, please let Henrietta Dombey know at

"Being a member of UKLA helps me in my job because the journals, magazines and newsletters provide me with news, views, research reports and high quality articles on all aspects of home and school literacy. ”
