“Education should not be the filling of a pail, but the lighting of a fire.” — William Butler Yeats

Given current responsible travel practices and global uncertainty as we all do our part to curb the Covid-19 pandemic, the 2020 Teacher Brigade has been postponed to 2021. Until then, we continue to provide virtual support to our project partners through our education project initiatives.

Building on the 2018 and 2019 teacher brigades to the Comitancillo region of Guatemala, in partnership with the Alberta Teacher’s Association, a team of Alberta teachers had been planning to once again share their skills in July 2020 by providing support to local teachers learning to incorporate technology in math and language lessons through our Technology for Improved Education project.
