The EKC Global Literacy Exchange
Turn professional development into a global act of service.
When international schools invite EKC to lead literacy professional development, there’s a powerful opportunity to do more.
The EKC Global Literacy Exchange helps your school extend that same learning beyond your campus to local schools, sharing expertise, building relationships, and making a lasting difference in your host country.
WHY THIS MATTERS
International schools are built on big ideas— global citizenship, cultural understanding, and creating a better world. GLE helps international schools turn their values into action through meaningful local partnerships.
Your teachers grow.
Local teachers grow.
Kids everywhere benefit.
“We were grateful for the collaboration with the Support for Learning Organisation, through which Miles from EKC led an inspiring literacy workshop that enriched our community in Gaborone, Botswana. We were also pleased to invite teachers from schools unable to cover the workshop fees, ensuring wider access to this valuable professional learning. Staff left feeling confident, motivated, and inspired, and the excitement around literacy continues to grow across our school.”
Mrs. Joanna Laverick, PYP Coordinator, Northside Primary School - Botswana
“Aligned with Tanzania's Vision 2050 focus on elevating the quality of early childhood services and literacy practices, IST, partnered with EKC, to take a proactive leap. We hosted a successful three-day intensive workshop aimed at empowering local Tanzanian teachers with advanced reading instruction techniques.
The workshop was led by Miles and supported by a dedicated team of IST teachers and TAs. The result is a thriving community of practice: the impact extends far beyond the sessions, with local educators continually sharing lesson evidence and discussions. This collaboration underscores our commitment to fostering connections, building trust, and turning a national vision into a tangible reality for young learners. A special thank you to Miles who made time to build trust and connect with the participants.”

Here’s how it works
One visit, two impacts.
While EKC is on site working with your team, we also deliver literacy workshops for teachers from neighboring schools in your community—either hosted at your school or offsite.
We handle the details.
From finding local partners to setting up logistics and planning sessions, EKC makes it easy to say yes to giving back.
You build real community.
GLE fosters authentic partnerships between international and local educators, and gives your staff a chance to lead with purpose.
This is more than PD.
It’s your mission, in action.
