CARN has had a hugely successful conference in Crete where their hosts provided all participants the most wonderful hospitality.
Keynotes were by Andy Townsend, Sofia Avgitidou and Michael Wright - all inspirational in entirely different ways. Members of Regional CARN groups - Greek, Portuguese-speaking, Norwegian, German-speaking and Dutch - colleagues joined the event sharing details of their activities - including a conference in December 2017 in Brazil to be hosted by the Portuguese-speaking group.
The pre-conference workshops were lively, and in the ARNA Knowledge Democracy workshop, were further enlivened by the presence of local Philosophy students whose course leader noticed the subject and negotiated their attendance.
