UTCEF is a graduate student-run organization based at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto. We are a non-profit forum with the support of leading scholars from OISE at UofT. UTCEF aims to advance cross-national communications among worldwide educators and inspire constructive conversations among practitioners, policy-makers and researchers to support China’s education innovation and development. By providing an annual forum and a series of workshops for critical discussions and thinkings, UTCEF wishes to promote sustainable peacebuilding and citizenship education between the East and the West.
