Still taking in the @edpsy.bsky.social festival and the honour of interviewing Bernard Coard with Sathya. It felt like an energising way to end a day of listening to inspiring speakers and planning for a better future for children, families, and ourselves.

#EdPsych Edpsy festival ❤️ The choice of speakers and topics was excellent, addressing colonialism, politics, children's rights, gender support, and race.

We live in a world where various supremacies reign freely, oppressing everyone.
Festival offered a reflection space and tools for the future. ❤️
