Please join us for our AGM on Wednesday November 4 at 7pm-7.30pm – followed by 'What in the World...?'

What in the World...?

This year our AGM will be followed immediately by an informal catch-up with our experts who have been involved in international mahi this year.

• Anna Gundesen gave a presentation on our Tītoki youth programme to delegates from over 30 countries at the EUFASD conference in France in September

• Kim Milne is presenting at the exciting EFIC (Education and FASD International Conference) on October 23 alongside some of the best FASD education specialists from around the world. 

• Professor Anita Gibbs from the University of Otago is always plugged in to the latest research, both here and abroad.

They'll be updating us on the latest global research in the world of FASD – including how FASD-CAN Aotearoa is influencing others!
