Since the start of Oct, every single university in Gaza has been bombed and countless other teaching and learning institutions have been destroyed. Proud to participate in the national day of action on Wed with MU colleagues in solidarity in the wake of this scholasticide #TLC4P

Thanks so much to @MuSanctuary Alum Kinda Nassli for her uplifting and stirring input with Y3 students this morning.
Her narratives about the complexity of migrant/refugee identities has given us much food for thought about how to approach these issues in our primary classrooms
