#PubPDAsia is Back Nov. 29th
#PubPDAsia is our regional branch of a worldwide movement in which educators across Asia gather at a local establishment at the same date and time to participate in a synchronous, thought-provoking, professional conversation. This conversation has a topic is moderated through a series of prompts by a regional rockstar. Schools connect in real time via Twitter to see each others’ ideas and add to the discussion.
On the evening of Tuesday, November 29th NIS will host our local conversation at Viking Bar (the turret next to Potato Pub). The chat will focus on the OECD 2030 Future of Education Compass (below) and will be moderated by Sandra Chow from Keystone in Beijing.
If this is of interest to you, please let Kasson know so he can confirm approximate numbers. Just turning up on the evening is ok too! The first round is on Kasson 🙂 Time TBD. Thanks!
