About Us
Finding Inspiration in Every Turn
Welcome to the Empowering Global Educators Foundation, a pioneering initiative dedicated to fostering global competence and understanding among educators and students across the globe. Founded by a passionate team of educators, we are committed to enriching the educational landscape by providing transformative experiences and resources that transcend traditional curriculums.
Our Story
The Empowering Global Educators Foundation was born out of a shared vision among seasoned educators who recognized the critical need for a more interconnected and globally aware educational system. Our journey began when Dr. Sequoyah Wharton, a dedicated digital film, broadcast journalism, and visual arts teacher, embarked on a transformative professional development journey to Indonesia. This experience illuminated the profound impact that global education has on both teachers and students, sparking the idea to create a platform that could offer similar life-changing opportunities to educators everywhere.
Driven by a passion for fostering cross-cultural understanding and collaboration, our founders came together to establish a foundation that would equip educators with the tools and experiences necessary to bring global perspectives into their classrooms. Our story is one of inspiration, collaboration, and a deep-seated belief in the power of education to unite people across different cultures and backgrounds.
Since our inception, we have grown into a vibrant community of educators, partners, and supporters who share our vision. We have organized professional development opportunities in various countries, facilitated cultural exchange programs, and created a rich repository of resources aimed at enhancing global learning. Each project and initiative we undertake is designed to inspire educators, enrich the learning experience for students, and foster a more inclusive and understanding global community.
At the heart of our story is the unwavering conviction that education is the key to building bridges between diverse communities. We are proud of the progress we have made and are excited about the future as we continue to expand our reach and impact. Join us on this journey as we work together to empower educators and inspire the next generation of global citizens.
