Tower Hamlets Linking Project
Building a sense of togetherness and confidence in contact with others.
Our project brings together children across Tower Hamlets to share, play and learn together through online spaces.
Schools Linking builds community cohesion and facilitates sustained social mixing between pupils. The process helps pupils to explore identity, become comfortable with difference and build connections across our area.
Over the year, the programme fosters curiosity, understanding and belonging through shared, memorable and joyful experiences and is fully in img-align-ed with the National Curriculum and Ofsted objectives.
