A Little About Myself.As an Educationalist and Civic Engagement Specialist, myfocus is on capacity building and education of youth who work to have a social impact. Currently, I am a Research Fellow at the Moynihan Institute at the Maxwell School of Syracuse University, where I researche civic education and engagement. I previously worked as the Director of Studies at Bridges Institute where I co-designed syllabuses and managed academic affairs of the institute. I have also worked for national Algerian NGOs and supervised a nationwide active-citizenship program as well as the training of local NGO leaders on community service and leadership in three Algerian provinces.
Before that, I founded an initiative that fights 21st-century illiteracy by teaching IT skills to women. This project allowed marginalized segments of society to benefit from access to technology and widened their opportunities. I am also a frequent presenter on civic education and democratic schooling in the Middle East and North African region. In 2012, I was chosen as a Leaders for Democracy fellow and subsequently was chosen to be the delegate of Algeria in a UN event in New York and most recently as a Caux Scholar in Switzerland. My work has appeared in Revolution by Love, where I spoke to issues of social change through education. I am currently working on a single-author book, "The Apprenticeship of Leadership in Arab Schools," where I discuss the role of distributed leadership in education. |
