The Compear Tools & Resources space is a growing collection of practical guides, frameworks, and thought-driven materials designed to support human-centered, culturally responsive practice across global and intercultural contexts.

This evolving library offers professionals access to tools that strengthen dialogue, deepen understanding, and support more intentional, inclusive approaches to learning, leadership, and engagement.

2026 GRDS Learning Guide

One of the goals of the GRD summit is to provide space for you to reflect on what it would mean to respectfully disrupt the systems that have governed and shaped the spaces you inhabit: professional, personal, and collective. Ideally, the summit will inspire and empower you to think more deeply about what is required for meaningful, sustainable change to take root. With that intention, we invite you to use the following exercises and activities as a kind of disruptive “roadmap” to guide your learning and engagement before, during, and after the summit.

We are also confident that this learning guide will remain useful beyond today’s experience. It can be applied when attending other events, programs, or learning spaces, and we encourage anyone and everyone to download and use these guidelines as a way to practice becoming a more thoughtful, intentional Respectful Disruptor.

Download and use of this guide is complimentary!

Contribute to the Library

We welcome contributions from practitioners, educators, and thought leaders. If you have tools, research, or resources that may benefit the broader global education community, we’d love to hear from you.

We are particularly interested in work that explores emerging, underexamined, or respectfully disruptive perspectives shaping global and intercultural practice.
