International Day of Education
Changing Course, Transforming Education
UNESCO will be celebrating the 4th International Day of Education on January 24th. This special day empowers all countries to increase their commitment to education for all children and youth. Over the course of the pandemic we have seen first hand the changes in delivering education, with the continuing goal of educators to nurture success of all students. Soroptimist International Thunder Bay also strives to make a difference for women and girls in our community and around the world, through the Soroptimist International signature programs, "Live Your Dream" award and the "Dream It, Be It" initiatives. Like UNESCO, Soroptimist International Thunder Bay believes that education is the key to empowerment and economic success. As we celebrate this event, Soroptimist International Thunder Bay wishes to acknowledge the work of all in the education community, and their continuing commitment to the well being of students in their care.
