Brighter Generation
Virtual Teaching Opportunity
Brighter Generation is a program that aims to enhance education and empower the next generation of leaders in Ethiopia by connecting the diaspora with students and teachers in Ethiopia. This July 2022, we launched the first pilot program where diaspora instructors and local teachers jointly teaching an English communication enrichment and leadership course to high school students in several regions in Ethiopia.
Diaspora instructors will take part in this hybrid course virtually while local teachers guide the students in person.
