Ask a questionA community of families finding their way together
Moving to another country brings plenty of questions. How does school work? Where can you take the children? How do you make friends, choose activities and find people you can trust?
Bridge Generation brings together Russian-speaking parents in Britain and Europe, shares reliable information and creates opportunities to meet, learn and try something new.
This winter, we are inviting teenagers aged 12–17 to join Create Animated Films with AI: 13–23 December in Kent. They will take an idea all the way to a finished film while spending their holidays at a British school.

Helping families feel at home
Practical support for parents and children, from education and life in a new country to language practice, family activities and conversations with people who understand how you feel.
Children’s safety comes first
We want every child to feel comfortable, confident and safe during our trips, classes and activities.
We take care when choosing the adults who work with children, plan our programmes in advance and make sure children know who to turn to if they need help or something makes them uncomfortable.
We follow UK safeguarding principles and expect the same responsible approach from the schools, education centres, partners and other organisations we work with.
When a parent or child raises a concern, we take it seriously and aim to respond promptly, calmly and confidentially.
For us, a good programme starts with a simple feeling: I am safe here.
Built on international experience
Bridge Generation founder Tatyana Nott is an educator and organiser of international educational programmes, with more than 12 years of experience.
She has organised and accompanied educational programmes for more than 2,500 participants across Europe and Asia.
Tatyana understands parents’ questions both as an education professional and as someone familiar with life in a Russian-speaking family abroad.

Kent trip · November 2025
We visited a boarding school in Kent from 22 November to 3 December 2025, with trips to London and Canterbury.
A huge thank you to Tatyana for the wonderful organisation, the packed programme and the detailed photo and video updates with commentary!
The children came home so happy, and the morning after we arrived they did not even want to say goodbye. Over those two weeks they made new friends and had so many memorable experiences. It really was a wonderful trip!
Lyudmila
Kent trip · June 2026
We visited London and WHD boarding school in Kent from 21 June to 1 July 2026.
Thank you so much to Tatyana for planning the programme so carefully, being personally involved and supporting the group at every stage of the trip.
The children came from different cities, with different personalities and interests, but the trip brought them together and created such a warm atmosphere. Most importantly, they came home healthy, happy and full of stories.
Thank you to all the parents who give their children the chance to take part in trips like these!
