"This year’s #MyFreedomDay focuses on the “Freedom to Learn.” It aims to foster empathy among students by highlighting the harsh reality that more than 12 million children worldwide are denied an education due to forced labor and modern slavery. By understanding education is a fundamental right - not a privilege - students can connect with the struggles of their peers who are trapped in situations where learning is impossible. Through education, both the free and the oppressed can envision a future where every child has the opportunity to learn, grow, and break the cycle of exploitation."
The ICMEC Global Educator Centre for Excellence and the International Task Force on Child Protection have joined forces to provide resources on how to prevent and respond to child abuse, neglect and sexual exploitation to ensure no child stands alone.
We want to share a few resources that you might share with parents and caregivers to help them keep their children safe online.

The success of any international school is highly dependent on the strength of its teacher leaders. This year long, hybrid, job-embedded professional learning experience will equip teacher leaders with skills to lead within their departments/grade levels and their schools.
Through engagement within their own communities of practice, participants will embark on a journey to contribute to the growth and success of their school.
