On March 28, CPAC Institute successfully hosted the Education Forum Building Capacity for Equity and Inclusion in Ontario Education in Toronto.

The forum brought together educators, researchers, and community leaders to discuss how East and Southeast Asian Canadian experiences can be better integrated into school curricula and how education systems can strengthen their response to anti-Asian racism.

We were honoured to hear from keynote speaker Dr. Kevin Kumashiro, presenter Dr. Bailing Zhang, moderator Dr. Kien Nam Luu, and panelists Karlo Cabrera, Gen-Ling Chang, and Dr. Vidya Shah.

Participants also joined breakout discussions on curriculum and pedagogy, educator support, leadership representation, cross-sector collaboration, institutional accountability, and student mental health.

Thank you to everyone who joined us in advancing a more inclusive future for education.
