#TweetUps with the Andover Portal
Saturday, July 27th – Sunday, August 4th
All are welcome to join us and start a conversation!
Andover Public Schools and the Town of Andover join with Twitter and Shared Studios as they host dozens of connections around the globe through the Andover Portal. There will be a range of connections, from open conversations asking “what’s happening?” to connections engaging a specific topic: Culture as a Conversation, Celebrating Women around the World, and Tweet to Meet.
Shared Studios creates immersive portals across the world, connecting people separated by distance and difference. When you enter, you come face-to-face with someone in a distant portal as though in the same room.

Women across the globe are making their voices heard and seizing seats at every table. Connect with women driving change in every corner. Through open and candid dialogue, women (and men) come together to discuss how far we’ve come – and the work remaining – to build a truly #SharedWorld.

Tweet to Meet
In this connection, families — in every sense of the word — come together through Portals for reunions and conversations about family and home. Siblings separated by oceans and borders, school friends that have chosen different paths, former colleagues, study abroad pals, old flames — all are invited into the Portal to reunite, reconnect, and re-engage one another via Portals.
