This episode was recorded at SXSWEDU. A BIG THANKS to edvinca and Class Central for sponsoring this episode.
What’s in this episode?
This week’s episode features three conversations from across Norway, Finland and Sweden. First up, I just wanted to give all this week’s guests a massive high five for their amazing accents. Listen in to hear about everything from where to hang out in Austin, what happens when you take an artificial intelligence course online aged 13, and how to get over global education being either about holistic wellbeing or being great at PISA.
