Promoting education about international affairs
TEAM is an Independent Educational Foundation (charity number 306950) which aims to promote an understanding and discussion of world affairs and the institutions of international cooperation.
It does so by:
- arranging conferences for sixth form students (Years 12 & 13) and other students at schools and universities
- organising study tours for school and university teachers
- sourcing expert speakers for schools and colleges
- organising seminars on international affairs for teachers
Youtalk is TEAM’s online platform where students can access and comment on the global and political issues of the day.
We invite school, college and university departments who would like to arrange a conference for sixth form students on a topic of international or national affairs to contact TEAM.
We will then draw up a programme in consultation with you on a day which suits you. No charge is made for a conference either by TEAM or by the speakers. We simply ask the institution to join TEAM as an annual cost of £75.
Speakers at our conferences are drawn from universities, think tanks, NGOs, embassies, campaigning organisations and the media. They give their time without charge because they support the aims of TEAM.
They, like us, are committed to widening the understanding and knowledge of sixth form students of international and national affairs.
These conferences are suitable for any sixth form students but may be designed with a target audience of those who are studying economics, history, law, geography or politics.
We also invite teachers from schools, colleges and universities and to participate in our annual study tours to institutions of international co-operation in Europe. We also organise study tours to the USA where the focus is on deepening an understanding of the workings of the US Constitution and Government.
