Re: [school-core] Schoolforge Locals/Conference
Dear Mark and Marilyn,
Thanks for the great ideas.
The youth summit (run democratically) is very exciting and I would like to work
towards that with you all. Marilyn, Thank you for putting your slide show on
-line. I'm working towards the same for a presentation I just did for the
European Council of International Schools.
Doug, Roger, Eelipe, Les, et al, do you have any thoughts about the naming of
the conference as Schoolforge Community with the location appended (as Mark
suggested)?
I think it would be great to shoot for one per continent minimum for the coming
year (that means 2 for the Americas, I think). Anyone in Antarctica?
Could Ofset do the honors in Europa?
