0A special day featuring very special women
Tuesday March 8 is a day I won’t forget in a hurry. To celebrate International Women’s Day, the Twenty Ten Club had the opportunity to go back to school. Twice.
It was an action packed day with 9 tube/train journeys criss-crossing London; stimulating workshops; team work; presentations; profit and loss sheets; honest, heartfelt speeches; fantastic company and the opportunity to connect with some amazing women, the majority of whom were 15 years old and under.
