In this week's podcast, we spoke with Peter Nicholson. Peter is Part of an organization called Baobabooks and they've been doing some amazing work in trying to leverage the capacity of young kids and adolescents to be able to publish creative writing, short stories, picture books and he has created an ecosystem to support schools in this project.
About Peter Nicholson:
Born and raised in California. UC Berkeley undergraduate degree (biochem & immunology) and then MBA at UCLA. Now fellowship at Stanford. Successful healthcare career but now more and more focused on social impact related initiatives that intersect with my interests.
About Baobabooks:
Platform arose out of my frustration with the amount of non-productive time my kids were spending on the internet. Facilitates differential learning and purpose built for classroom based and distance learning and available in six languages (more to come). Building a global community focused on creativity.

This week new co-host John Mikton leads a chat with Nancy Squicciarni, the Head of Community Relations at the International School of Luxembourg. We have a wide-ranging discussion about online teaching and learning events, and talk about #ISLLoft a hugely successful PD series of events founded and run by Nancy for International Schools worldwide.
About #ISLLoft:
Since 2010, ISL has been hosting professional learning opportunities for international educators. The school has had the privilege to collaborate with Chapters International, ECIS and Learning2. In light of COVID_19, “face to face” conferences were no longer an option. ISL decided to redesign and reformat professional learning as the ISL Virtual Learning Loft (#ISLLoft), a series of 1-hour webinars for educators. Connecting all #ISLLoft attendees’ hearts was the priority, in resonance with the concept of Head, Heart, and Hands from Transformational Learning which provided the approach when planning and organizing events.
About Nancy Lhoest-Squicciarini:
Presently, Nancy is Head of Community Relations at the International School of Luxembourg. She is a trainer for the Principals’ Training Center and the ECIS Middle Leaders Certificate Programme. Nancy is also one of the network leaders for @WomenEdBeLux, a global grassroots movement that connects aspiring and existing women leaders in education and a member of the ECIS Women in Education Special Interest Group (SIG)
