Teachers’ Leadership Institute
AKFC is excited to announce our Teachers’ Leadership Institute, July 27-31, 2026, at York University — empowering educators to bring global citizenship, sustainability, and international development themes into their classrooms.
Description: AKFC’s Teachers’ Leadership Institute (TLI) is a fully funded 5-day in person convening that aims to strengthen the professional capacity of educators across Canada. This initiative is designed to equip educators with the knowledge, skills, and confidence needed to effectively integrate global citizenship, sustainability, and international development themes into their classrooms. Through a combination of in-depth training sessions, collaborative learning opportunities, and access to educational resources, the Institute will enhance participants’ pedagogical strategies and deepen their subject-area expertise.
The Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) is a fully funded 5-day in person convening that aims to equip young leaders with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to actively engage with global issues, promote sustainable development, and foster global citizenship. The academy will provide a collaborative learning environment where participants explore global challenges, leadership skills, and strategies for effective engagement.
The Teachers’ Leadership Institute (TLI) and Youth Leadership Academy (YLA) will occur concurrently.
