We’re proud to announce that on Tuesday 8th March our Head of Strategy, Margherita Pasquariello, will be joining a host of likeminded inspiring female voices to #BreakTheBias and commemorate International Women’s Day.
The event will take place at the Common Room in Newcastle and see a collaboration with Coco Children’s Charity to showcase a panel of diverse speakers addressing the issues facing women in the UK, East Africa and beyond, as well as sharing positive messages and ideas to empower each other and future generations. Coco works to provide sustainable, quality education to children in poor and marginalised communities, with a vision that children everywhere should have access to this.
Beginning at 5:30pm, attendees will be able to enjoy a drinks reception and networking before experiencing the panel discussion and a Q&A centred around the International Women’s Day theme of ‘Break The Bias’. This will be followed by further networking and drinks in The Common Room’s cafe bar, 5|Quarter. You can book tickets now via: https://bit.ly/3vi4dp0
