Escola Azul is once again challenging its network of schools to collaborate with each other. The "Blue Connected Schools" model is back and more established.
All PT Blue Schools interested in finding a partner school within the network should complete the following form until October 31st: https://forms.gle/WMpJ54VWs9cwESG16. In this form, they'll answer a series of questions that will help to define their profile as Blue Schools.
Based on the registered schools and their responses, the Escola Azul Coordination will create a table where every school can explore and discover which Blue Schools would best suit a partnership. This table will be shared during the month of November with all Blue Schools registered on the form. From there, each school simply needs to explore the table, select potential partner schools, and make the necessary contacts to create synergies.
There are no specific restrictions on the types of partnerships that can be created. Joint projects, specific initiatives, sharing of materials and ideas, visits between schools, interactions between students... Anything goes, as long as the schools involved agree with it.
It's also worth noting that completing the form doesn't "obligate" the school to pursue any partnership. This model just aims to facilitate contact between Blue Schools, but anyone can opt out at any moment.
If in doubt, contact the Escola Azul Coordination at escolas@escolaazul.pt.
