Policy event: The role of independent schools in the future of Europe

As a result of joint work with­in the Euro­pean Meet­ing of Inde­pen­dent Edu­ca­tion (EMIE), we are announc­ing an invi­ta­tion to the pol­i­cy event on “The role of inde­pen­dent schools in the future of Europe: con­tri­bu­tion of inde­pen­dent schools to engage­ment, well-being and achieve­ment for all”.
