Deep roots grow strong flowers.

The EPIC Summit in Siem Reap was built on the belief that meaningful educational change grows through strong relationships, shared learning and investment in people.

🎥 In this short video:

• EPIC Project Manager Kimleang reflects on Professor Lucy Cooker's contribution to the Summit and the value of bringing together educators from Cambodia and internationally.
• Professor Lucy Cooker shares her reflections on the Summit, her time in Cambodia and how she would succinctly describe the EPIC Summit.
• Senior Project Manager Limon Bunn looks back on Lucy's connection with SBB, including her visit to our programmes last year, before sharing some exciting personal news! Limon has been awarded a prestigious Chevening Scholarship to study at Nottingham Trent University in Nottingham—a UNESCO City of Literature—becoming the first SBB team member to receive this highly competitive scholarship!

Congratulations, Limon! Your achievement is a wonderful milestone for you and for SBB. We look forward to seeing the knowledge, experience and connections you bring back to Cambodia.

Watch the video to hear their reflections and celebrate the partnerships, friendships and shared commitment that continue to strengthen education in Cambodia.

Building Strong Foundations: Numbers Come to Life! 🔢✨

Through Maths Teacher Mentoring, young learners are discovering the joy of numbers through engaging, hands-on Khmer numeracy lessons. From counting with everyday objects to recognising and writing Khmer numbers, students are building confidence one number at a time.

Recently, early grade classrooms at a school in Banan District embraced fun, interactive activities centred on foundational numeracy — part of the broader effort to strengthen literacy and numeracy skills for early grade learners.

After attending TEP workshops, teachers created a lively, supportive space where children could practise, ask questions and celebrate small wins together, reinforcing the idea that a strong grasp of numbers early on opens the door to a lifetime of learning.

These moments of joyful learning are made possible through the Transform Education Program in Siem Reap and Battambang Provinces, supported by the Australian Government through the Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP), Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade

Over the last two weeks we have been joined in Cambodia by sixteen teachers and school leaders from across Ireland. They have spent the time learning about the education system, collaborating with our Cambodia staff, delivering professional development on topics including; literacy, school leadership, and communities of practice, and engaging with primary school teachers and school leaders in Siem Reap Province. In addition, they all participated in the EPIC Summit 2026.

Watch this video to learn more about the Connect Experience. Thanks so much to Maeve, Carmel, Una, Emmagene, Laura, Michele, Elva, Gwen, Dearbhaile, Louise, Martina, Meabh, Laura, Jane, Pauline and Colette for your really significant contribution. We hope this is the beginning and not the end of the journey.

Thanks also to our partners at the Irish national Teachers’ Organisation and the Retired Teachers’ Association of Ireland who both provide funding to support our work in Cambodian primary schools.

Ní neart go cur le chéile.
