How Svenia and Audrey met at business school and realised they learnt more through ‘doing’ than attending ‘learning classes’. How they applied this to education innovation more broadly.
Most memorable part of the tour spent : South Africa with Green Shoots Education

Quotes: 


On next steps in Audrey’s career: ‘I don’t think working for the ministry (of education) would be the solution.’
On liking/disliking school ‘I think I loved it.’ ‘I really want to go back into teaching at some point.’
On collaboration: ‘You need people who speak both languages - the one of the teachers and the one of the business people.’
