English with Kirsty – episode 272
2/10 Learning through events – LocLunch edition
You can listen to episode 272 here:
To celebrate 10 years of the English with Kirsty podcast, I’m creating a 10-part series to celebrate 10 different forms that learning can take.
There will also be an online networking event for guests and listeners to come together on the podcast’s birthday in July. Use the contact form further down if you want to be one of the first to receive more information about the event!
Part two of the series is about how we can learn through events and I thought that talking about LocLunch events would be a really good way to explore this topic. I invited four LocLunch ambassadors: Patrícia from Loclunch Lisbon, Roberta from LocLunch Rome, Lisa from LocLunch Barcelona, and Magali from LocLunch Berlin.
When you listen to our conversation you’ll discover:
- More about my guests – who they are and why they decided to become LocLunch ambassadors
- What happens at a LocLunch event
- How these events provide practical opportunities for support and learning for those involved in the localisation industry
- How the events in each city are developing their own identities based on who’s running and participating
- Some of the different forms the events can take and the practical ways in which they help people, both personally and professionally
- Some of the things that my guests have learned through participating in the events.
- How listeners in the localisation industry can get involved.
