A number of TAs have formed partnerships with fellow Associations agreeing to exchange Newsletters and making it easier for members from Partner associations to attend their Conferences.

Having teachers from neighbouring countries attend your Annual Conference, for example, is a good way of making your event more international. It is also a good idea to include discussion forums in the Conference Programme , where issues of regional relevance can be discussed.

There are several versions of the Partnership Agreement Form , which is a written agreement of collaboration between two Teacher Associations (TAs).
