Dear Chaitali and all,

Was really looking forward to attending but I will still be in transit due to an unexpected flight delay today. I might join through my phone after landing if possible. Either way, wishing you all an enlivening time together. 

Warmly,
Devanshi

Dear all,

Hope you’re doing well. As discussed in our last meeting, our next meeting was originally planned for 11 December. However, since Vasna and Franco highlighted that the GTA Assembly is scheduled for the same day, we’ll need to shift our meeting.

I’d like to propose a few alternative dates, all at 13:00 GMT:

  1. 8 December

  2. 12 December

  3. Any day during the week of 15 December

Please let me know which option works best for you, or feel free to suggest another date if needed.

Warm regards,

Chaitali Chaudhari

  2. Hannah Bickel, currently interning with GTA until December, is helping curate a periodical on learning and education — we would love to explore contributions from this group.
