Partnerships

The Nelson Mandela Museum is involved in several strategic partnerships with other organisations and institutions.

CONNECTING CLASSROOM PROGRAMME

The school-twinning programme runs in partnership with the British Council. It connects classrooms between South Africa, Kenya, Mozambique and the United Kingdom. There are nine schools from the Eastern Cape that participate in the programme. The project is fully funded by the British Council with Nelson Mandela Museum as a strategic partner. The Museum’s interest in the programme facilitates opportunities for rural schools, educators and learners to be exposed to international norms and methodologies and for them to share experiences with schools from other countries.
