ALPHA Education

Today marks the International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression.

At ALPHA Education, we turn our focus to the children, those who have experienced violence, conflict, and injustice, and whose experiences and stories are too often overlooked and forgotten.

Children are among the most vulnerable victims of war and aggression, yet their voices are so rarely brought to the forefront. We remember them. We honour them. And we commit to advocating for their protection, not just today, but every day. 💙

This May, we celebrate Jewish Heritage Month 🕍

ALPHA Education wants to honour the generations of Jewish families who crossed oceans, built new homes, and kept their culture, traditions, and identity alive.

In a world full of differences, peace is a choice we make every day. Today is a reminder that true strength lies in unity, in choosing acceptance over division, inclusion over exclusion, and harmony over conflict.

At ALPHA Education, we believe education is the foundation for a more peaceful world.

To celebrate the second anniversary of the opening of the WongAvery Asia Pacific Peace Museum (APPM), join us on June 7, 2026, for a 5K run/walk 🏃 and a chance to win round-trip tickets from Toronto to Shanghai, with Southern China tours to Shanghai and surrounding cities included (courtesy of Jacco Tours)!

On the Time of Remembrance and Reconciliation for Those Who Lost Their Lives During the Second World War, we reflect not only on WWII in Europe, but also the often overlooked histories of WWII in Asia.

Remembrance is not just about looking back. It’s about expanding voices we carry forward.

Looking for a meaningful summer experience in 2026?

ALPHA Education offers a summer program from June 1st to July 24th, 2026. Open to Canadian and international undergraduate and graduate students, this interdisciplinary summer program engages participants in critical inquiry of World War II in Asia, centring on peace, memory, and responsibility.

This summer program connects participants from diverse fields such as journalism, public policy, law, humanities, sciences, and education in seminar discussions and research to interrogate contested narratives, comparative wartime experiences, and the war’s enduring legacies.

This Asian Heritage Month, we are celebrating the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Asian communities, and we'd love for you to join us.

Visit our APPmuseum, just one of ALPHA Education's programs dedicated to preserving and sharing Asian heritage, not only something we inherit; it is something we actively carry in meaningful, engaging ways: how do we remember? How do we listen? How do we act? across all communities.

📍 Come explore, learn, and connect with the stories that have shaped our communities.

Endgame tells the story of brave Chinese Canadians who stepped forward during wartime, hoping to prove they belonged.

Through family connections, identity, and untold stories, this book helps students see how the past connects to their lives today, and how we can all think more critically about the stories we hear and share.

Come join us this Thursday, the 30th, for a book talk by Endgame's author, Catherine Little, at WongAvery Asia Pacific Peace Museum, to explore the often-overlooked history of a group of Chinese men who volunteered to serve the Canadian military behind enemy lines during World War II in Asia.

This Earth Day, we’re thinking about the future we want to build. 🌍
