December 19, 2025 - 05:45

Chloe Daikh, a graduate student at the School of Foreign Service, is making significant strides in education outreach focused on the Arab world. As part of her efforts, Daikh is working to bridge the gap between university-level expertise and K–12 educators, particularly in the context of MENA (Middle East and North Africa) studies. Her initiative aims to enhance the understanding and teaching of the Arab world in schools, ensuring that educators are equipped with the necessary resources and knowledge to engage their students effectively.

Through workshops and collaborative programs, Daikh is fostering a deeper appreciation of MENA cultures, histories, and contemporary issues among younger audiences. This outreach is not only vital for promoting cultural awareness but also for addressing misconceptions about the Arab world. By empowering educators with relevant content and teaching strategies, Daikh's work is paving the way for a more informed and inclusive educational environment that reflects the diversity and richness of MENA societies.
