Coffee & Geography S03E16 Norfolk-Dedza Schools Links (UK & Malawi)
In this special episode, Kit Marie takes part in a day-long event for primary school pupils learning about Malawi. The conference is part of the work by the Norfolk-Dedza Schools Links (previously Norwich-Dedza Partnership). The Norwich-Dedza Partnership was a charity that developed and supported practical links between Norwich, UK and Dedza District in central Malawi. A mutually beneficial collaboration leading to a greater appreciation of the differences and similarities in ways of life in the two areas. Projects included IT, Health, Education, Tourism, Economic Development and Community Facilities. The charity has since ceased operating, but education work continues through the volunteers and teachers in Norfolk, UK.
