Margaret Ellams is the Consultant for International Dimension at Sefton Children Schools and Families (Sefton Council). Sefton is a borough in North West England and the Council is currently looking for a European partner to work with in the development of an exciting new Comenius Regio Partnership.
The project will focus on the experiences of vulnerable families with children currently attending primary school. Through family learning opportunities, the proposed partnership will develop dynamic new ways of supporting and strengthening communities in both partner countries.
If you know of a European Regional/Local Authority that may be interested in this opportunity, we would be very grateful if you would take a look at the attached application details and pass them on to your relevant contacts
Any interested organisations should contact Margaret Ellams at Sefton Council directly ( Margaret.Ellams@cs.sefton.gov.uk or mfellams@hotmail.com )
