Learning conversations

At recent TeachMeets, not everybody who wished to present has been able to present. Similarly, not everybody wishes to perform. So .... instead of doing a presentation, would you like to lead a conversation on a topic that's currently close to your heart? Perhaps it's an area where you have more questions than answers? We'll make space for these learning conversations to take place. Sign up below if you'd like to lead a conversation.
