The International Development Institute's project partners from Kenya, Bhutan, Peru and Indonesia enrolled in Humber College's Global Summer School Program 2023.

Nine of IDI's international project partners had the opportunity to travel to Humber College on a month-long exchange for knowledge-sharing, promoting cultural understanding and diversity, and fostering global relationships.

The group attended classes daily to enhance and develop their knowledge, skills and capacity in hands-on learning opportunities in the classroom. The group of nine also continued their educational journey at Humber outside of the classroom by fostering relationships with one another and learning and appreciating diverse cultures and differing perspectives.

The Global Summer School was a fantastic opportunity for IDI's international partners to meet each other and share their knowledge, expertise and overall learning experiences. The program contributed to the development of individuals, organizations, and societies while fostering global cooperation and addressing pressing global challenges.

Dear Humber/Guelph-Humber community,

We are delighted to announce a significant milestone in enhancing inclusivity and promoting a collaborative spirit on our campuses. Accessible Learning Services has partnered with our Life at Humber department to create a unique logo that represents our shared commitment to fostering a vibrant community where all persons can see themselves.

Our newly unveiled logo features elements that symbolize unity, diversity, and the empowerment of individuals. The design captures the balanced integration of accessibility and the spirit of student life at our college.

We invite you to take a moment to view the logo and learn more about the values it represents and the inspiration behind its creation.

Included in our symbolism: 

  • Symbol for Accessibility
  • Audio Description CC
  • Access for Hearing Loss
  • Symbol for Braille
  • Text To Speech
  • Cognitive/Learning  
  • Invisible Disability 

We encourage you to embrace this collaborative effort by using the logo in your digital communications, presentations, and various materials when referring to Accessible Learning. By doing so, you will actively contribute to promoting inclusivity, unity, and a strong sense of community across our campus.

We believe this collaboration to be a significant step forward in our ongoing journey towards well-being and sense of belonging. Through joint initiatives and a shared vision, we aim to create an environment that celebrates diversity and provides equal opportunities for all.

Should you have any questions, require further information or to provide any valuable feedback about our logo, please do not hesitate to reach out to us at accessible-learning@humber.ca. We value your support and engagement as we continue to strengthen our action towards accessibility and voice for our learners with disabilities.

Thank you for being an integral part of our community, and we look forward to your active participation in embracing and promoting this logo.

Warm regards,

Desta McCalla
Associate Director, Accessibility Learning Services
