Beyond Reciprocity: Reimagining Ethical Global Health Promotion in Resource-Constrained School Systems

This project explores how international teaching programs between Canadian universities and Antiguan schools can be designed in ways that are fair, respectful, and beneficial for everyone involved. The research focuses on the Antigua Champions for Health (ACH) program, where Canadian student-teachers work with Antiguan schools to support health and physical education. By listening to both Canadian student-teachers and Antiguan educators, the study will highlight the benefits, challenges, and ethical questions that occur in these partnerships. The project will help universities and schools build stronger, more equal international collaborations, while also supporting healthier learning environments for children. For Canadian institutions, it offers insight into preparing students for ethical global engagement. For Antiguan institutions, it strengthens opportunities to share local expertise and ensure that international programs align with community priorities.
