Dear member, thank you for your interest in participating in the BCTF delegation to the 16th Trinational Conference in Defense of Public Education: Defending and Teaching Our Rights.

Please offer an introduction to yourself.

Why do you want to participate in the delegation to the Trinational Conference?

The conference theme is “Defending and Teaching Our Rights” and will include in-depth discussion on topics including: the extreme rights’ attack on public education; decolonization; culturally responsive and sustaining teaching; precarization of education work; and fighting for just working and learning conditions.

Please tell us about your knowledge of and engagement with this theme.

This opportunity is being offered through the BCTF’s International Solidarity Program.

What does “international solidarity” mean to you?

If you are chosen for this delegation, how will you bring actions back to your local and school community?

International travel often requires adapting to physical situations and cultural spaces that you may not be familiar with.

How do you adapt to new situations that may be outside of your comfort zone?

Are you connected to your local union or the BCTF? If so, please describe your work and engagement in the union.

Is there anything else you would like to share with us?
