Not a great photo but perhaps the palace will update their website, in a week.
On tuesday the 2nd of February. Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Princess Margaretha of Liechtenstein nee Luxembourg. Opened the first dyslexia forum at UNESCO in Paris. GD MT gave the opening speech and talked about the significant problems with reading and comprehension of words that people with dyslexia face.
She also pointed out that some 300 million people who suffer from dyslexia are still marginalized. The Grand Duchess also pointed out that it depended primarily on the teachers to promote the talents of these people and give them self-esteem and confidence.
The main principle and point of this dyslexia forum is make people aware that every person has a right to education and that this values must be put into practice. Only in this way dyslexic people can be integrated into society.
The Grand Duchess has been UNESCO goodwill ambassador since 1997. I think it's nice to see the two sister's in law making an apperance together, as we rarely see MT and Margaretha together.
