Historical webinar
Explore three historical Mana recordings: a Families demonstration, a panel on meaningful family engagement and the Families launch walkthrough.
This curated historical collection brings together three Mana recordings about family engagement and the Families product. Each recording is presented separately so you can choose between a product demonstration, a discussion of family partnerships and a Families launch walkthrough.
The recordings were published in 2025. Product demonstrations and offers reflect the time of recording.
