The Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF/FCE) News and Updates: International Collaboration for Education 2025

The International Collaboration for Education (ICE)—formerly Project Overseas, is a joint endeavour of the Canadian Teachers’ Federation (CTF/FCE) and its member organizations to support partners in developing countries as they co-plan and co-deliver professional learning to local educators.

This project is part of the CTF/FCE’s International and Social Justice Program, which focuses on teachers taking action for:

• Teaching—Canadian teachers work with overseas colleagues to co-plan and co-facilitate workshops for teachers and education workers.
• Teacher Organizations—The program assists overseas Partner Organizations as they strengthen their capacities to provide professional services to their members.
• Gender Equality—The program addresses gender equality for students and teachers, assists in the development of gender-responsive school environments, and works to eliminate school-related gender-based violence.

ICE is often integral to long-term projects that strengthen and promote equitable, high-quality, publicly funded education for all.
