A week of exchanges on parental involvement with Cleopatra

In 2024, her visit unfortunately couldn't take place, but this year we had the honour of welcoming Cleopatra Muma Chona from Zambia Open Community Schools (ZOCS) for a week at eNSPIRED. The jam-packed schedule included a conference in Rotterdam, a school visit in Aalst, and a hybrid webinar at the VVOB office in Brussels. Cleopatra's visit gave us the opportunity to reflect on the global challenges in education. But even more importantly, it reignited our energy to dream of a sustainable school environment where parents and teachers work together to take charge.

However, the teachers noticed that the learners struggled to speak these languages fluently. Therefore, the headteacher introduced the subject of ‘debate’.
