Education Program Coordinator

ALPHA Education is an educational, non-profit, and registered charity in Canada that promotes a critical-historical investigation of the events of World War II in Asia. We achieve this mission through education programs, advocacy initiatives, and events along four strategic directions: engaging educators and students, empowering youth, supporting research, and connecting with the community. Through ALPHA’s education programs, students develop historical thinking, not just content, which contribute to their role in championing equity, humanity and global peace over discrimination and violence. Currently ALPHA Education has embarked on a major and significant project – the establishment of the Asia Pacific Peace Museum (APPM).
