Changing Lives Through Education

UNESCO Associated Schools Network (ASPnet)


Ann Beatty our Chief Executive is the UNESCO ASPnet Coordinator for the UK. We are proud to support the UNESCO ASPnet network exchanging knowledge, materials and good practice in education. This uses three complementary approaches: 

1. Creating: As a laboratory of ideas, ASPnet develops, tests and disseminates innovative educational materials and promotes new teaching and learning approaches based on UNESCO's core values and priorities.

2. Teaching & Learning: Capacity-building, innovative teaching and participative learning in specific ASPnet thematic areas allow school principals, teachers, students and the wider school community to integrate UNESCO's values and become role models in their community and beyond.

3. Interacting: ASPnet gives its stakeholders opportunities to connect and exchange experiences, knowledge and good practices with schools, individuals, communities, policy-makers and society as a whole.
