The Home & School Exchange World Cafe format will provide a space for facilitated, open discussion on various topics of importance to your work in Home and School. We hope that one of the outcomes will be links between individuals and groups at the event (i.e., information and resource sharing, and possibly next steps for collaborating to address common areas of interest).
