In July of 2015, I stepped off a plane in Melbourne confronted with temperatures of 4 degrees having spent the past two weeks in the summer temperatures of Spain and France. The purpose of my trip was to attend the 17th International Conference on Thinking (ICOT) in Bilbao, Spain. Along with colleagues from the ONWZ of the Melbourne Archdiocese I spent 4 days listening to some of the pre-eminent speakers on education and the importance of developing a thinking curriculum.
