DEI Exchange
October 22-23, 2022 | Chadwick International School
Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea
ABOUT
Building together with Heart & Seoul. Pun intended.
The DEI Exchange, hosted by Chadwick International School (CI) in partnership with Korea Council of Overseas Schools (KORCOS), will encourage each of us to further explore diversity, equity, and inclusion during our two-day in-person conference on October 22nd and 23rd. The DEI Exchange will provide an opportunity for each of us to learn from our peers as well as presenters outside of the Korea community.
It will be a time for us to come together to reflect, explore new ideas, take action and apply what we learn to our professional lives.
A bit of history...
The Face-to-Face conference came to fruition from a very heartfelt, yearning question of a teacher from one of the KORCOS member schools via Twitter.
None of us could think of one that was not virtual so in response, we had a radical idea: why not dream big and make one happen? So, here we are, 6 weeks away, ready to make it happen. Join us. Let's build together with heart and S(e)oul.
Our WHY.
... Because Diversity, Inclusion, Equity is is what our students bring and should expect in our schools.
... Because our students deserve teachers who are learners. In the words of Maya Angelou, "Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better."
... Because those who yearn connection, encouragement, and action should know that they're not alone.
Join us, get unlimited access, and support the voices you want to hear more from.
