Dear friends and colleagues
Further to Martine’s email, I wish to advise that the WBU-ICEVI webinar on inclusive education during COVID will commence at 10am AEST, which is 12 noon Greenwich Mean Time. A little late for us folk in the Pacific region but it should be a great webinar.
Terry of WBU suggests that those attending the webinar register a little earlier than the start time.
With best wishes to all,
Frances Gentle
