🌍 What could we create together for Generosity Week? 💜 If you don't know this about me yet, I'm a BIG believer in radical generosity! In 2022, I was part of the GivingTuesday Starling Collective, a global community of grassroots changemakers who believe that even the smallest acts of generosity can create incredible change. And honestly, Teachers for Peace is living proof of that! When the war in Ukraine began, I asked a teacher friend how I could help. She asked me to keep the children busy, so I offered free English lessons. Other teachers joined in, generously sharing their time, skills, and knowledge. Four years later, together we've delivered over 4,000 free lessons to children and adults affected by war and displacement. All because people were willing to give a little of what they had. ❤️ That's what radical generosity means to me. With Generosity Week (December 1–7) coming up, I've been wondering... What if we brought our classrooms together for one global act of generosity? Have a go at the poll below! I'd LOVE to hear your ideas! 💌 International classroom kindness exchange ❤️ 7-day generosity challenge 📚 Teachers sharing resources and skills 🌱 Student-led community projects 🤝 Global online classroom event 💡 Something else? Tell us in the comments! Let's see what we can create together! 🌍💜 Jennifer #GivingTuesday #RadicalGenerosity #TeachersForPeace

Back to school season is here, and I know it can feel like a lot. If you’ve been quiet, you’re still very welcome here. Tomorrow (Friday) we’re hosting a short Volunteer Info Meeting for teachers who are curious about volunteering with Teachers for Peace (TFP). I’ll share what volunteering looks like, the kinds of roles we need right now, and you’ll be able to ask questions—no pressure, just information. Quick check-in (reply with a number): 1. I’m interested in volunteering 2. I’m interested but need more info first 3. Not right now, but I want to stay connected If you reply 1 or 2, also tell me: what you teach + your time zone so I can guide you to the best fit.

One of the most powerful ways to help students develop global citizenship is by connecting them with another classroom somewhere else in the world. Each month, we'll help teachers find a partner class for a meaningful collaboration. Whether you're looking for: 🤝 Pen pals 🎥 Video exchanges 📚 Reading buddies 🌱 A Changemakers Project 🔬 A STEM investigation 🎨 An art collaboration 🗣️ English conversation partners 🌍 A cultural exchange We'll help you find another teacher whose students are a good match. Tell us about your class: 📍 Country 👧 Age of your students 🗣️ English level (if applicable) 👥 Number of students 📅 When you'd like to collaborate 💡 What kind of project you'd like to do Then we'll introduce you to another classroom somewhere in the world. Because sometimes the most meaningful lesson isn't in a textbook... it's meeting another child who lives a completely different life.

I’m talking: 🎤 teen conversation exchanges 🍉 “day in my life” videos 📸 classroom photo swaps 🎶 music & culture projects 📚 reading buddies 🌎 “what summer looks like in my country” activities Imagine students in: 🇪🇸 Spain 🇺🇦 Ukraine 🇦🇫 Afghanistan 🇸🇾 Syria 🇬🇧 the UK 🇰🇪 Kenya actually talking, sharing, laughing, and learning from one another this summer. 🌍 No giant paperwork. No stress. Just human connection and creative ideas. 👇 Comment: 📍 your country 👩‍🏫 student ages 💡 and what fun project you’d LOVE to try this summer Let’s make this community feel alive. ☀️💛
