Fred Mednick
A former high-school principal, Dr. Fred Mednick founded Teachers Without Borders (TWB) in 2000 to connect teachers to information and each other to close the education divide. He is a Professor of Education Sciences at Vrije Universiteit Brussels and was a Visiting Fellow at Johns Hopkins University.
Teachers Without Borders helped pioneer open educational resources and courses. Every TWB initiative In girls' education, education in emergencies, and peace and human rights education has been conceived and led by teachers in developing countries. We have built a strong and diverse global network in 177 countries. Membership, courses, and teacher resources are free.
Teachers Without Borders has been awarded the Champion of African Education Award and the 2018 Luxembourg Peace Prize. Dr. Mednick was honored with the 2018 Ahmadiyya Muslim Prize for Peace. TWB has also been recognized by the White House, the Desmond Tutu Foundation, and the Peace Corps. Dr. Jane Goodall is TWB’s International Spokesperson.
