The LENS (Linking Educators in Network Schools) project was officially proposed and approved at the ISSN Executive Steering Committee Meeting in Singapore in June 2024. Its goal is to promote ongoing collaboration among educators from ISSN member schools. This session provides an excellent opportunity for teachers, particularly those attending the ISSF at MWIT in Thailand in January, to begin networking and engaging online.
