Teacher Summer Institute
In celebration of our 50th year, the Alberta Council for Global Cooperation was pleased to welcome educators to our Teacher Summer Institute at Metis Crossing on July 18th and 19th, 2024.
During this event, 25 Alberta-based educators gathered to explore topics around Global Citizenship Education and themes of international development, sustainability, gender equality, inclusiveness, and more — right here in Alberta! Educators participates in a 2-day professional development retreat at Métis Crossing, Smoky Lake, where they engaged with Global Citizenship Education experts, as well as Alberta international aid organizations, local organizations and community leaders through dialogue and practical hands-on learning. With the support of ACGC staff and Dr. Lisa Tink, participants also worked together to develop a knowledge translation document to engage educators and students in Alberta on important global issues explored during the program.
