Learning from Home with Sir Ken Robinson - Episode 1 with Sonia Benavides and Kate Robinson

Welcome to the first episode of our ‘Learning From Home’ series. We’re joined by Sonia Benavides, architect and mother of 4 from Mexico.

This interview took place at the beginning of April 2020 - facts and figures are not currently up to date.

IMPORTANT:
We are launching a new website with more resources and interviews. This platform is designed to give you a chance to contribute your story of education during the pandemic, as well as find resources to help you through this difficult time and beyond.
