Welcome to everybody who has an interest in providing education to people with deafblindness. During this first ever meeting, we will go through and discuss 1) The core values of the network; “The aims”, “The shared goals / milestones” and “The justification” of the network. In order to become a strong, dynamic and long-lasting network we shall be looking into 2) The structure of the network; ex. election to an international Board, election of area and/or national ambassadors. Every idea and positive energy will get its chance to influence on the development of this network. As we shall be looking into the future together and hopefully collaborating, we hope for time to share knowledge and get acquainted as well. Please join the network on Facebook by finding “Deafblind Education Network”. By end June 2023, I will publish the agenda for the meeting on Facebook, for members to comment. As Chair I look forward to meeting you all at the conference. Regards, Anders “Andy” M. Rundh anmaru@rn.dk
