**Editorial - from the desk of Susanne Prediger, member of ICMI EC 2021-2024**
==============================================================================

**Deepening conversations, initiating cooperations**
====================================================

Can international or regional associations be governed by online video conferences? Susanne Prediger, ICMI EC member raises this question in her editorial and argues that there is a “Yes” and a “No” to this question. The ICMI EC members have just come back from two intense meetings in Bangkok in February, 2023. For the first three days they worked among themselves, and then they spent two intense days with representatives from our CANP initiatives for five under-resourced regions. In both meetings, the EC profoundly experienced these differences between online meetings and in-person meetings.

**ICMI Symposium on: Mathematics Education and the Socio-Ecological**
=====================================================================

**Call for Participation**

ICMI is hosting a one-day symposium on March 20, 2023, to act as a gathering point for scholars working in what might be diverse areas, but whose concerns could be broadly grouped together as “socio-ecological”.

The symposium aims to contribute to knowledge building, relating to mathematics education and the socio-ecological, and, moreover, it has the potential to lead to a proposal for consideration as an ICMI Study on the topic.

To cater for participants in different time zones, two symposia with be held, with an overlapping Plenary talk. Symposium 1 will be held from 09:30-15:10 GMT and Symposium 2 from 14:00-19:30 GMT. 

Attendance at the symposium is free, but you do need to register using the links below. 
The Zoom link will then be sent to you the day before the symposium.

**Report on the Capacity & Network Project workshop “sustainability and future directions” **
=============================================================================================

**By Anjum Halai – ICMI Vice President**

Anjum Halai is the ICMI Vice President responsible for the Capacity and Network Project (CANP). CANP is a flagship program of ICMI. Between 2011 and 2016 five CANP workshops were held in five different regions in which ICMI is underrepresented and five regional networks have been established. She reports about the workshop "sustainability and future directions" that was conducted in Bangkok on February 15-16, 2023. It was a significant event because two CANP representatives from each region and the ICMI Executive Committee (EC) were meeting in-person for the first time since the COVID pandemic. Many important issues and future activities were discussed.
