Our Name
The Islamic greeting As-Salaamu Alaikum السلام عليكم is commonly translated as peace be upon you. However, salaam is much more than peace, it is a supplication you make for someone, a prayer that they are safe and secure. It also shows your good intentions for them. That they are safe from any harm from you. We chose Salaam to not only welcome expat, tourists and visitors but also to express our hope that your stay in Qatar will be filled with peace and security. Our trainings are designed to foster this sense of peace, equipping you with the knowledge to move and interact in Qatar with respect. Be a part of creating this atmosphere of salaam while you are here. Our tent logo is a tribute to Qatari culture, symbolizing the sense of safety and security we aspire to promote.
Our Mission
Salaam’s mission is to educate and guide expats, tourists and visitors while abroad by offering insights into local culture, religion, language and daily life. We provide individuals with the knowledge and tools to recognize, respect, and reflect the cultural norms wherever you are.
Our Story
Salaam Trainings is a U.S.-based initiative offering culturally conscious education and training, with a special focus on the Gulf region and other Muslim-majority countries. We provide immersive professional development programs tailored for expatriate teachers, equipping them to navigate local customs with confidence and cultural sensitivity.
This initiative emerged from the reflections of an expatriate teacher who observed a disconnect between foreign educators and the local community they were entrusted to educate. In response, Salaam Trainings opens gateways for individuals and organizations to recognize, respect and reflect local culture in every interaction, supporting students educational journey through identity-conscious education.
