Greetings from the WCEP Canada Headquarters!

VOLKAN CERRAHOĞLU & FİLİZ ÇETİN KURT
From the challenges of establishing a new office in Canada to the evolving dynamics of Gen Z students, from parents’ concerns to the incredible transformation students experience — this conversation dives deep into the heart of the WCEP journey.
As both a parent who once sent her own child abroad and now a guide to hundreds of “High School Ambassadors,” Filiz shares her insights on being “on both sides of the table.” She explains the balance between compassion and discipline, and how her “sweet–strict” approach helps students grow and thrive.
