COMPEAR.org and GoAbroad.com have teamed up to shed light on the experiences of underrepresented groups worldwide. Together, we aim to foster understanding and address not only issues within international education but also broader societal practices and policies that perpetuate inequality and discrimination.

The Global Respectful Disruption Mini Summit, held virtually on December 12, 2025, is a collaborative endeavor to unite individuals passionate about creating positive change through knowledge and dialogue within global education and beyond.  

Rooted in the theme Blank Without Exception, this one-day virtual gathering dares us to pause at the empty spaces, where certain words have been censored, sidestepped, or struck through. It’s about what’s unsaid in global education: the quiet removal of care, the sidelining of belonging, the dilution of bold ideas in favor of what’s ‘safe’ or palatable. But here, we reclaim the margins. We fill the blanks with people-first practices, with radical listening and bold action with scholarship that holds space, for everyone, and everything they carry.
