IndiaBiostreams: Webinar on the Importance of Networking
From sharing of knowledge and resources to developing extracurricular projects together, networking and collaboration can be a boon to educators and their students, in many ways. Still we see that a large proportion of educators are not very comfortable in building connections or investing their time and energy in networking. How can more educators be encouraged to take this path? What are the roadblocks that hinder them from networking? How can these be overcome? These were the questions addressed in the interactive webinar that took place on June 24, 2021
No.of attendees: 113 attendees from 6 different countries across 5 continentsMore details about the event can be found here–>
