In Series 2, we want to hear from you!
We'll be hosting/facilitating some conversations about specific issues related to Global Learning and specific areas of CDEC work. If you've worked with or alongside CDEC or if you have experiences or insights on Global Learning in your school or organisation you'd like to share, we'd love to welcome you to one of these conversations.
