The Asia Pacific region is gearing up for an exciting event as the International Baccalaureate (IB) prepares to host its upcoming conference at International School Ho Chi Minh City. The event promises to be a gathering of educators, coordinators, and administrators from across the globe committed to providing their students with a high-quality education.

The conference will feature more than a dozen workshops to offer participants a wide range of insights and learning opportunities. These workshops will cover various topics, including interdisciplinary teaching and learning, language and literature, visual and performing arts, and learning diversity and inclusion. Attendees can expect to gain new insights, practical tips, and strategies for improving their teaching practices and ultimately enhancing their students’ learning experiences.

One of the conference’s highlights will be the IBED Learning Diversity and Inclusion (DEIJ) Cat 3 workshop.

Participants will be able to engage in meaningful discussions about their biases and learn strategies to support their students’ diverse backgrounds and identities. They will also gain insights into how they can create more inclusive and welcoming learning environments that celebrate and value diversity.
