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
