Our first #CollabUAE event of the Academic year 25/26
We aimed to re ignite the Teachmeet / Spark events that used to happen across the UAE. When teachers share good practice, something that has worked in their classroom, an app or a resource that has had an impact on teaching and learning. With a range of speakers and Keynote speakers, this is an excellent opportunity to network with fellow like-minded professionals.
