Looking forward to planning something brill for @WomenEdESP with @Mercede70719667 !! – at Newark, NJ
The theme for #IWD2020 on 8th March is wonderful - #EachForEqual This inspires each of our global networks to plan a virtual or physical #WomenEd event. Can we find a way to connect these from @WomenEd_Aus to @WomenEdCanada?
