Show Notes Chapter Markers

In this conversation, Hardwired Founder and President, Tina Ramirez, and high school educator, Zeina Dbouk, discuss the ways Zeina’s father stood up to corruption in Lebanon, which inspired her to continue his legacy through teaching students. They discuss the ways Zeina facilitates dialogue in her classroom by making space to respectfully engage across differences. They also explore the Hardwired Global teaching strategies Zeina uses in her classroom to engage students in a process of diffusing fears to achieve a pluralism mindset. Lastly, they remember Zeina’s attendance to the Hardwired Global education conference in Morocco for ministers of education in the Middle East and North Africa and they explain the exciting programming Zeina is managing for teachers in Lebanon and Iraq. 

Zeina Dbouk is a teacher and curriculum developer at a private school in Lebanon. She is a survivor of violence in Lebanon and through teaching her students, she aspires to make Lebanon a place where everyone thrives. Hardwired Global has recently partnered with her to expand our teacher training program in the Middle East.
