‘Responding to crises’ conference to be streamed on Periscope
A quick glance at our YouTube channel and Twitter feed clearly demonstrates our commitment to making sure the knowledge shared at our events reaches as many as possible. This work continues with our ‘Responding to crises’ conference; the event will be live tweeted and videos will be available shortly after its conclusion. This time, we are going one step further by live-streaming a selection of the conference sessions on Periscope in order to allow people to participate in real-time.
On Friday 23 September we will be streaming sessions on conflict, refugees, and education, and Saturday 24 September we will be streaming sessions on the international community and gender. See below for the full schedule and be sure to tune in to our channel on both days.
