International Day of Education with SFU Faculty of Education
This year, the International Day of Education is dedicated to the theme of "Learning for lasting peace," enabling our students to gain essential knowledge, values, attitudes, skills and behaviours, empowering them to serve as the catalysts for peace in their communities.
Our contribution towards this objective is through the diverse courses and programs we offer, and through the research and community partnerships we implement. These initiatives include partnerships with SFU Reach, which is committed to identifying practical solutions for the complex challenges faced by refugee children with dis/abilities, their families, and the educators supporting them. Additionally, we collaborate with Friends of Simon, an enduring and award-winning program. This initiative recruits, prepares, and assigns university students as literacy tutors in the Lower Mainland, actively contributing to the academic success of newcomers to Canada.
-
Dr. Robert Williamson emphasizes the unprecedented global challenges and underscores the crucial role of education in fostering lasting peace, discussing the efforts of the REACH Partnership to support inclusive education for displaced children with disabilities as an example of collective action.
-
Amrit Cojocaru, Program Coordinator, discusses Friends of Simon and its impactful initiatives aimed at fostering literacy skills and community engagement.

The Situation of Women in Afghanistan
by Spozhamy Oriya (August 2023)
Afghanistan, a country with a history of more than 5000 years, was the land of great scholars such as Rumi, Ibne-sena (Avicenna), Sayed Jamaluddin Afghani (19-century scholar and founder of Islamic modernism), and great women such as Rabia Balkhi, Goharshad Begum, Malalay Maiwandi and many more great men and women. But the darkness of the trauma of war and invasions led Afghans to forget their history and dignity. Modern Afghanistan was established about 100 years ago and the 1960 and 1970 decades were a golden era of modern Afghanistan when people lived in peace and Afghanistan was a favorite place for tourists from all over the world.
REACH Project Reflection
by Olessya (June 2023)
Hello, everyone! My name is Olessya and I am a PhD student at SFU. I would like to share my experience participating in the REACH Project. First, I would like to mention that while my main research interest is different (teacher identity), I have always been drawn to the topics of diversity and inclusion. As a matter of fact, I did discuss these topics with my students during the courses I have taught. But participating in this project allowed me to look at the notions of diversity and inclusion from multiple perspectives: Palestinian, Canadian, and Kazakhstani. I have not realized before that inclusion is not exactly a defined concept but could mean different things in different contexts. And that all together these perspectives emphasize how geopolitical our perceptions are.
