PeerSphere @ EARCOS 2024!

by LeeAnne Lavender, PeerSphere Storyteller

Several PeerSphere hosts and community members met in person at the March EARCOS (East Asia Regional Council of Schools) conference in Bangkok, Thailand.

It was wonderful to reconnect and meet new people face-to-face, and one evening PeerSphere co-founders Michael Iannini and Ewen Bailey hosted a fabulous social at a Bangkok bar close to the conference venue. As people socialized, new connections were made and the PeerSphere “vibe” was celebrated in an upbeat, fun way.

I met new PeerSphere colleagues at EARCOS, and have already begun a new collaboration about storytelling in an interdisciplinary context. This exemplifies the power of peer learning.

Thanks to Michael and Ewen for being purposeful about bringing the PeerSphere community together at EARCOS 2024!
