Great first day at @TECHNEDTP Congress in beautiful venue of UAL College of Fashion. Inspiring talks and workshops on making and living, places of creativity and learning, emotional #archival encounters and even on #plants such as indigo, hemp and nettle. Great lunch too! 😋🤓💚

Word of the Day is one I keep posting at the end of the year, hoping its time will come. ‘Respair’, from the 16th century, is fresh hope, and a recovery from despair. Here’s to a few drops of respair in 2025.
