The Uganda-UK Schools Linking Partnership commenced in 2007 with Jinja International Youth Meeting (JIYM), The initial inspiration for this conference came from the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) held in Kampala in November of that year. Two schools from Northamptonshire in the UK and four from Uganda met together a month before the Kampala CHOGM to discuss global issues. JIYM 07 was a great success and has continued each year since, so to date eight different UK schools and ten different Ugandan schools have taken part. The event has become the "flagship" event of U-UKSLP.

As well as the JIYM conferences many projects and activities have taken place links to these can be followed in the side panels of this page

The Uganda-UK Schools Linking Partnership (U-UKSLP) also has an on-line learning/collaboration platform with the cloud computing company "huddle". For futher information on any of the above please e-mail:
