October 5th marks World Teacher’s Day, a global celebration of how teachers transform education, improve the lives of their students, and impact our shared futures. Every day teachers change the world in both big and small ways.
UNESCO and Education International declared the 2023 theme, "The teachers we need for the education we want: The global imperative to reverse the teacher shortage". This year’s celebration aims to prioritize stopping the decline and increasing the number of teachers worldwide. To achieve this goal, the event promotes ways to better motivate, support and appreciate educators who play an important role in forming the hearts and minds of learners.
On this day especially, we at IVECA wish to extend our gratitude to our dedicated teachers around the world for their immeasurable value and undeniable contribution to our local and global societies.
Dearest teachers from around the world,
It is with the greatest respect and admiration that our team here at IVECA writes this letter. Truly, without your participation, your collaboration and your dedication, our mission would not be possible.
It is thanks to your hard work and your efforts, that we can reach classrooms in every corner of the world and the hearts of the students within them.
Over the years, we have had the privilege to work with teachers from over 25 countries in Asia, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, North and South America, and Oceania.
Despite the differences in our cultures and languages, we have been able to come together and achieve the shared goal of helping young learners around the world become compassionate global citizens.
In classrooms on every continent, IVECA teachers have started a chain reaction. Beginning with your decision to participate in our program, that reaction will continue to not only change the way your students interact with others in their communities, but also change the way they interact with the rest of the world for the rest of their lives.
For that, we cannot thank you enough. We look forward to the privilege of working with you all for many years to come.
