School Exchange
Grant: £4,500
One of the Foundation’s medium-term aims is to facilitate an Anglo-Chilean school exchange between Lower Sixth Formers at St Benedict’s Bury St Edmunds, and those at Colegio San Lorenzo. These funds will help start that process by allowing staff at San Lorenzo to visit Bury St Edmunds to meet the staff and pupils, and vice versa.

The International Commission on Benedictine Education holds a triennial conference of the Benedictine Educators Network (BenET), an international symposium dedicated to sharing knowledge and understanding between teachers from Benedictine schools. The Foundation is sponsoring a delegate from the developing world to attend the next event, planned for Rio de Janeiro in 2022.
