Hello dear colleagues

I am deeply honored to have represented Palestine as one of the winners of Teaching in the 21st Century 2025, and to take part in an unforgettable China Study Tour organized by UNESCO IITE, NetDragon, and Beijing University.

From day one, it felt like meeting old friends our previous connection through the e-Forum made everything familiar and warm. The welcome was full of energy, and the coordination by the organizers and volunteers was simply flawless.

Global Smart Education Conference 2025

One of the highlights was attending and speaking at the Global Smart Education Conference and the Technology Exhibition Corner at Beijing University was a great part. . Also listening to inspiring sessions on AI in education, accessibility, and future skills gave me fresh perspectives and practical tools to implement back home.

School and Technology Visits

Visiting THISDL International School was eye opening the creative learning spaces, student artwork displayed proudly on the walls, integration of sports and arts, and the focus on wellbeing truly stood out. I especially admired their wellness room for teachers — a reminder that teacher wellbeing is essential for great learning.

At iFlytek showroom, I explored cutting-edge tools like smart translation devices, AI grading machines, and interactive learning boards. Many of these ideas can be adapted with low-cost solutions for my own school.

Cultural Experiences

The cultural visits — from the Temple of Heaven to the National Library of China, and the Great Wall — gave me a deeper appreciation of Chinese history, architecture, and traditions. I even tried eating with chopsticks for the first time!

This journey was more than a trip. It was an exchange of knowledge, cultures, and friendships. I return home with new ideas, stronger motivation, and precious memories.

My heartfelt thanks to Tatiana, Nicole, Jennifer, Lanya, and all the amazing volunteers for making every moment special. I’m also grateful to all the fellow winners each one inspired me in their own way.
