Global Learning The pandemic forced global educatw)n actNities online. aThJ while some Development Education Centres were able lo ernbrace this. Global Link did not have the long-term relation5hip5 Wrth schwls to be able to nurture this work online. Similarty, some of the sch(xJl links between LanCashI and African schools which we had supported, also did not survNe the pandemic. particularty as the African sch(x)Is did not have access to the digital wmmuni¢ations techMb)gy that the Lancashire schools dkl. Nevertheless, we continued to work vthh Gbbal Leaming London lo deveknp a teacher CPD course about Migration which was then delivered in other areas though we failed to recrurt in Lancashire, despite i( being free online wurse.
