This morning, 29 of our Educator and Leadership Institute participants are leaving from Toronto and Montreal to go to Haiti. A team of six is already in Cap-Haitien and four more will join us tomorrow. As of tomorrow night, our total team of 39 will be ready to engage with our Haitian partners in a great week of professional learning!
Stay tuned to this blog for daily details. If you are a Twitter user, use #LaurierHaiti to get frequent updates. We are also taking over the Wilfrid Laurier University Snapchat "story" for a few days this week and that will provide another way to see what we are doing in Haiti.
"Global" and "local" are constructs which no longer adequately capture our lived experience. "Glocal" attempts to capture the melding of international and local realities. This blog provides an opportunity to consider how we can develop glocal thinking and encourage others to do so as well.
