The Teacher Education Club (TED) hosted Erika Meyer, a representative of Entreculturas, from Madrid. Erika spoke to future educators about the disparity of educational opportunities for some children, especially in Third World countries. This international Jesuit organization, a component of Fe y Alegria, promotes social justice through schools. Erika emphasized the mission of Entreculturas to advocate for education for ALL children. The organization’s  belief is “education is a key tool for development, transformation, social change and intercultural dialogue.” A lively discussion followed to brainstorm possible ways students from Canisius could be involved in this organization, both as advocates and as active participants.
