CE International's Alisa Vereshchagin shares her views on the power of education to foster cross-cultural communication and understanding, as well as build patience and empathy.

Her quote is next to her photo and says, "As a former language teacher, I believe that language education is an especially powerful tool in promoting peace within communities. It fosters cross-cultural communication and understanding, and can help build patience and empathy, contributing to the resolution of conflicts and the establishment of a more interconnected and harmonious society."

November is #NativeAmericanHeritageMonth in the U.S. At Childhood Education International, we are celebrating and honoring the rich and diverse cultures, traditions, and contributions of indigenous communities in the U.S. and around the world. 📚 Knowledge and experience are powerful tools in fostering understanding and respect. This month is a good time for educators to seek out more opportunities to uplift and include indigenous peoples' histories, languages, traditions, and contributions in their lessons. 🏫 Schools and other education settings should be inclusive and welcoming environments that respect all cultures and backgrounds. Unfortunately, these settings have often been used to denigrate and deny indigenous cultures, histories, and languages. Let's work together to build education environments that are inclusive, respectful, sustaining, and holistic. 🌎 All children worldwide deserve access to a quality education and a welcoming, supportive environment. Let's learn, grow, and build a better future together. Image description: Beige background with yellow, orange, and light-green words that say, "Native American Heritage Month."

Did you Know that Alberta students aren’t required to learn about the internment of Japanese Canadians during the Second World War until Grade 11 social studies? And apart from that, there is very little in the curriculum that exposes them to a community that forms part of the Western Canadian cultural fabric. As a result, what students do learn about Japanese Canadians arrives relatively late in their K–12 education, often without sufficient context, and can be easily forgotten, says Olenka Bilash, a professor in the University of Alberta’s Faculty of Education. Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gqNNRfc3 However, a new Directory of Japanese Canadian Resources is now available! The Directory offers K-12 teachers a wealth of resources to help students learn about the internment and the contributions Japanese Canadians have made to the country.

Preserving our Mother Tongue in Tech Innovation! Today, I'm thrilled to share a video close to my heart, where I had the privilege of interviewing students who generously shared words in their mother tongue with me. In light of a recent Africa Daily episode discussing the future of our native languages in the digital realm, this video's significance has only grown. As students at Carnegie Mellon University Africa, we stand at the intersection of innovation and cultural preservation. We aspire to be the next generation of tech leaders for our continent. But how do we ensure that the languages and cultures that define our identities are not left behind in the digital age? The answer lies in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and the programs we build. By harnessing the power of NLP, we can bridge the gap between technology and language diversity. We can develop applications, chatbots, and digital resources that support and celebrate Africa's rich linguistic tapestry. Let's champion initiatives that promote linguistic inclusivity, preserving our native languages while embracing the digital future. As tech leaders in the making, we have the unique opportunity to develop solutions that not only drive innovation but also nurture the roots of our heritage. I invite you to watch the video and join the conversation. How can we, as tech enthusiasts and future leaders, ensure that Africa's native languages have a prominent place in the digital landscape? Share your thoughts, ideas, and experiences in the comments below. Together, we can empower our communities and pave the way for a more inclusive, culturally vibrant tech ecosystem. #TechInnovation #NativeLanguages #NLP #CulturalPreservation #DigitalFuture

This quote is so perfect for exchange. The saplings of exchange were planted many years ago, Did you ever wonder how high school exchange got started? High school exchange programs have a rich history rooted in the aftermath of World War II and the Fulbright Act. Senator J. William Fulbright's 1946 Mutual Educational and Cultural Exchange Act laid the foundation for international educational exchanges. Originally focused on higher education, the Fulbright Act's principles expanded to high school students, fostering peace, friendships, and global awareness. These programs have evolved over time, offering diverse options like language immersion and community service. Today, they're a vital part of international relations and education. Young participants gain cultural understanding, independence, and lifelong friendships. High school exchange programs build global citizens and promote empathy, making them essential in our interconnected world. Considering joining a high school exchange program? You're part of a rich history promoting peace, friendship, and cultural exchange—an incredible journey aligned with the enduring spirit of the Fulbright Act. Let's plant an exchange seed in your community.
