Harcum Professor Converses With UN
English Professor Sotiria Koui partook in a recent UN education conference.
Sotiria Koui, Associate Professor in the English Language Academy, attended the United Nations Educator’s Conference on Peace and Human Rights on Wednesday, November 4, 2015. The conference took place at Chestnut Hill College, but attendees were connected live with the United Nations in New York, Mexico, and France.
The main purpose of this conference was for educators to exchange ideas on how they can promote human rights and global education in their classrooms. “I was invited as an educator of English as a foreign language and I talked about how to promote cultural empathy and respect in a multicultural class,” remarked Koui.
