WHAT IS UME?
The University of the Middle East Project is a non-profit organization which offers graduate-level training and international exchange opportunities to teachers from the Middle East and North Africa. “UME,” as it is known by supporters, was founded in 1997 by a group of graduate students from the Middle East and North Africa who were studying at universities in the Boston/Cambridge area. UME programs are distinguished by their commitment to critical and creative approaches to problem solving at the local, regional, and global levels. We believe in the power of teachers as intellectual professionals and transformative social leaders.
UME is more than a NGO. It is an inclusive attitude open to individuals of any nationality, religion, ethnicity, or gender who share the goal of a more open, socially equitable, democratic, and environmentally sustainable Middle East and North Africa.
WHY ATTEND?
- To learn more about UME’s academic programs for teachers
