Hi! I’m Chaima, a passionate and dedicated educator with a strong background in English teaching and global citizenship education. With two bachelor's degrees—one in Teaching and one in English—and over four years of experience in primary education, I’ve combined classroom skills with international volunteering experiences, such as teaching with AIESEC in Egypt.

Beyond the classroom, I’m actively involved in leadership and community development through JCI Kairouan, where I serve as Vice President in charge of Fundraising and Development. I’ve also had the honor of moderating international forums and organizing impactful training programs.

My favorite part of what I do? Empowering others—whether it’s students learning their first English words or young leaders developing their skills through civic engagement.

As an English teacher with a deep passion for innovation and global education, I’ve always been fascinated by the role of technology in transforming the way we teach and learn. When I discovered the “Teaching in the 21st Century 3.0” competition by UNESCO and NetDragon, I felt immediately drawn to it even though I only had two days to prepare!

For me, this competition is more than just a challenge; it’s a call to action. It represents a shift toward more inclusive, creative, and personalized teaching practices that are desperately needed in today’s classrooms. We live in a world where education must respond to diverse learning needs, digital realities, and rapidly evolving skills. As educators, we can’t afford to stand still.

I joined the challenge because I believe in the power of collaboration and experimentation. I wanted to learn from a global community of educators who are reimagining their classrooms with courage and creativity. I also wanted to push myself - to test how I could use emerging tools like artificial intelligence to better support my students, even on short notice.

Despite the time pressure, I felt energized by the idea of submitting something that reflects both my teaching philosophy and my willingness to grow. This experience reminded me that innovation doesn’t have to be perfect; it just has to be intentional. I’m excited to share my journey and learn from others who are shaping the future of education, one idea at a time.
