Egypt 2026
Watch this First!
Egypt: June 28 - July 7, 2026
If you love learning in a way that will shape the way you see, think and do. This program is for you.
Authentic cultural immersion, when done with people of the global majority (that’s us!) is a powerful way to learn about different cultures and what makes them unique. This program will give you an opportunity to see how one of the oldest civilizations in the world lives, learn about their culture, and experience what makes them who they are. Come learn and see firsthand how Egyptian history, culture and mystery are all around you, in your own country, today.
Under the umbrella of our Teach With L.O.V.E.™️ framework, we celebrate and acknowledge their successes, their struggles, and their unique worldview. We engage, not as mere spectators, but as active learners, opening our hearts and minds to a new perspective of seeing, understanding, and appreciating the world.
Discover a culture as old as time exploring the land of ancient mystery and modern adventure. Learn how to read hieroglyphs, sit on the steps of an Egyptian temple, explore a Cairo neighborhood, meet with a local teacher and hear them speak their beautiful languages (yes, more than one language is spoken in Egypt.)
In this program to Egypt, you'll also have a chance to meet with Muslims and Christians who will discuss with you hurtful and harmful generalizations by Westerners…. while exposing you to what it is like living in Egypt today. Among the remarkable individuals you will encounter is a remarkable female public school teacher who will graciously illuminate the intricacies of the Egyptian Education System.
With the help of our Thought Leaders, Zainab Jabak…who speaks fluent Arabic…and Ashley Reed, the Teach With Love culturally informed principles will be woven into our entire approach for the program. Our vibe is to “seek knowledge that emerges through continuing, hopeful inquiry in the world, with the world, and with each other” (Paulo Freire) and be present in each experience where you will expand your cultural knowledge, make beautiful connections and return with a reconnection to L.O.V.E. being the foundation to having culturally informed teaching.

For teachers, this is a revolutionary way of thinking about teaching in a classroom. Being immersed in a new culture and language provides a unique perspective, enhanced by our teacher framework. This structure helps you reflect on your experiences and integrate these values back into your classroom with students.
This approach is ideal, especially relevant in the current educational climate in the United States, where many educators struggle to remain in the profession. This rejuvenating experience will re-humanize learning for you, providing a deeper understanding of what it means to Lift Others' Voices Every day (L.O.V.E.). That's the essence of our framework.
You don't just learn a concept from a book; you live it out and practice it. During our program, there will be moments where we, as thought leaders, engaged participants with reflective questions: How do you see the application of the love framework in real-time?
This program is ideal for any location and is perfect for educators and leaders who want to remain in the field, offering not just a refreshing experience but also practical tools for classroom application.
