MatchMySchool has been designed with teachers in mind.

In 2021 we ran a short survey with language teachers online. The response was positive and the requirements were very clear. Language teachers told us that there is a need for a platform to help them connect with their colleagues in other countries (over 100 schools in five different countries responded to the survey) But the problems are that they don't have time to look for contacts in other countries. If they did have spare time they wouldn't know where to start. Of course budgets everywhere are tight so they don't have spare resources to spend on this activity either.

So MatchMySchool was built on three core principles:

- it's got to be easy for busy teachers to use

- it's got to be secure

- it's got to be free.

The service is now live in five languages.

It enables teachers to search for colleagues in other countries based on a number of criteria (ages of the class they are teaching, language ability, projects they would like to share, countries where the students are etc)

In the webinar we will talk through the story of how we got here, show you how the service works, how you can use it to find counterparts in other countries to work with and of course answer any questions you have.
