Couple of days with ESHA colleagues in foggy, atmospheric Antwerp, considering approaches to Diversity and Inclusion in education settings across Europe 🇪🇺
Thanks to Prof Daryl O'connor for a hugely informative and enlightening closing keynote on "The dangers of stress (and how to change your relationship with it)". A great finish to an excellent day.
Delighted to be a guest at the @NAHTnews Annual Conference in Wales, hearing about the challenges faced in schools in England, N Ireland and Wales as well as connecting and reconnecting with colleagues.
