Becoming a 1st Class Global Educator in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

In a rapidly changing world, education must evolve beyond traditional boundaries to cultivate global competence, empathy, and innovation. This session explores how educators, mentors, and learners can integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) and deep listening to create meaningful, inclusive, and globally connected learning experiences.

Through real stories from the Middle East and beyond, I will highlight how technology—when guided by human-centered values—can empower educators to nurture critical thinking, creativity, and compassion. Participants will leave with practical tools, inspiring insights, and a renewed sense of purpose as global educators shaping the future.

Ultimately, this talk invites us to see education as both a science and an art of connection—a journey of continuous learning, emotional intelligence, and digital transformation.
