A joint project between Youth Sport Trust and British Council, Dreams + Teams provides a unique link between British school children and their counterparts around the world.
The programme develops mutual understanding between countries and develops leadership skills and cross-cultural awareness in 14-18 year olds through sport and international educational links. Issues the programme aims to explore are fair play, equity, cultural diversity, inclusion, religion, ethics and global communication.
If your school is interesting in becoming part of this initiative please email dreamsandteams@youthsporttrust.org.
