The Shining Network - New host school and coordinator were officially announced!

Unanimous was the decision made during the last meeting of the year 2015 in which all our members decided to name Karina Vejar as the new coordinator for the year 2016! Karina already took this role on 2014 when the network was founded and carried out a pretty positive role during that time. Karina will be assuming that position from March on and will take it for a year in a row, just like José Espinoza did during the year 2015.

On the other hand, as done every single year, The Shining Network is also extremely happy to announce Colegio Gabriela Mistral as the Host School for the year 2016, it means that all of the meetings of this year will take place there. Karina, who is also a teacher in the institution showed herself very excited to have the meetings back into the place in which the network was orginally founded. Terrific news!
