What do you get?
When we get together, we realize that the challenges that we experience in our individual schools are often shared across continents. We realise we can learn from each other to overcome challenges and perhaps even avoid them before they happen. The virtual conference provides space for sharing practice, solving shared challenges, and developing a global community.
