ICERI is an incredible opportunity to Network and share with international leaders in education, theory and practice. It can be so stimulating for new ideas and directions. We are all busy people and it takes time to harness the opportunities, time that is in constant demand from elsewhere. This workshop makes that time, so why not use this time to write that email to someone you have met in this conference? Reflect and write up an idea for further research? Reflect and capture how you may change your own practice from you have seen at ICERI2022?

Benefits: Intentionally making time to capture sparks of ideas, connections and opportunities for your own interests. Time to write it down.

Format: Based on ‘A Write Space’ which was piloted successfully with University of Warwick 6th May – 10th June 2021.
