Students everywhere have potential

It is not dependent on social background, economic status, or location. A good teacher draws that potential out and transforms it into a force of nature. Good teaching begins with treating students respectfully, stimulating their interests through relevant and engaging activities, and making sure they develop skills that prepare them for the realities of the job market.

To achieve this, we focus on skills-building such as entrepreneurship, communications and writing skills, financial literacy, team-work and confidence-building. These skills help prepare students to be high-achieving contributors to society, whether through their own entrepreneurial vision or when working with a company. Our global network of talented educators are specialists in their fields and excited to share their love for learning with their students.

The same goes for teachers. Educators in most countries face considerable challenges to remain motivated in a profession that can become repetitive, is poorly resourced and increasingly administrative. We create opportunities for teachers to travel, encounter new ideas, network, publish and grow through our programmes. They return energised, inspired and empowered.

A word from our CEO & Co-founder

Pourquoi ai-je créé Professeurs Sans Frontières ?

Lorsque je travaillais à l’école d’été de la London School of Economics, j’ai réalisé que l’enseignement de qualité attirait fortement les étudiants internationaux, mais ne bénéficiait qu’à très peu de personnes capables de se le permettre.

J’ai aussi été témoin de l’effet remarquable que des enseignants de qualité, des pairs motivés et des idées nouvelles produisaient sur chaque étudiant dans la salle.

Our approach was to reverse this model.

Instead of students traveling out to learn, we bring professors in to teach.

Le mot du président

Notre action caritative est à la fois ambitieuse et cruciale. Nous contribuons à moderniser l’éducation et à susciter le changement là où il est le plus nécessaire.

Professors Without Borders œuvre à renforcer la mobilité des enseignants à l’échelle mondiale, pour offrir à chaque étudiant un environnement d’apprentissage professionnel, motivant et inspirant qui lui donne l’élan nécessaire pour la suite de son parcours. Nous aidons les étudiants à s’engager avec assurance dans le monde et à l’améliorer, en commençant par leur environnement immédiat.

Chaque pays a besoin de talents pour progresser, et ces talents doivent pouvoir s’épanouir localement. Si nous ne pouvons pas inverser la fuite des cerveaux, nous pouvons en revanche cibler les talents locaux et contribuer à leur développement académique et professionnel grâce au renforcement des capacités.

In their words

Glad to be among those who were mentored by you during the Prowibo programme at The University of Lagos. It really helped me to achieve my goals. I graduated with First Class Honours, and I happen to be the first student to achieve First Class in the history of my department.

Oluwadamilare Ajalal, Student from Nigeria

This was a great experience for our students. Great programme focus with important topics that Ilka and Temi linked very well. Despite the fact that there were language barriers, the professors made the students blossom and come out of their shells. I also loved that the programme was delivered by women, for women!

Prof Huma Khwaja, School Principal at Karamat College

Thank you very much. Today has been so interesting. We have learned how to motivate our classes, how to make icebreakers, how to deal with the inner and outer cycle. People have participated and we have loved the lesson.

Emmanuel Orikiriza, Teacher from Uganda

Prowibo’s training at the University of Lagos, Nigeria, greatly impacted me. As a result of this training, I started focusing more on soft skills and their importance. I started learning social media management and secured my first role in less than two months!

Confidence Ufuoma, Student from Nigeria

Yesterday I learned about pitching, I learned about freelancing. I like freelancing because it is giving me independence. I learned I do not have to depend on anyone, I do not have to depend on my employer in order to have a job. Even if I have a job, then I can do other things.
