Leina Shi, Director EducationBritish Council China

The opportunity to hear from others within the sector, share examples of how we are overcoming the challenges faced through innovation and agility, and just the chance to have a cuppa and take a break from meetings, has been immensely enjoyable and informative. The Tuesday morning sessions are a highlight of my week and I am sure have contributed enormously to wellbeing across the sector.
