Online breakfast with BALAJCZA: “The Cultural Symbolism of Colours”

Thursday, 20 April 2023

8 am-9 am

For centuries, colours have been used to communicate without words. However, without understanding the cultural context, we can misinterpret their meaning. This is a common mistake when translating advertising from local to global markets.

Colour can also be a conundrum for translators, as they are often part of idioms.

Join us for our Online Breakfast on the “Cultural symbolism of colours” on Thursday, 20th April at 8:00 am.

We will be talking about, among other things:

  • why taxis in Chicago are yellow
  • who likes “blue beefsteaks”
  • in which culture surnames are not to be written in red
  • what the favourite colour of politicians’ is
  • why Facebook chose blue for its logo

The meeting will be held by Kamila Radzyńska – business coach, specialised in intercultural communication, member of SIETAR Polska, R&D Manager experienced in foreign trade, romanist, passionate about the Far East, and winner of the Knowledge about France Competition organised by PR III radio and France Inter.

Partner of the meeting: Sietar Polska

The meeting will be held in Polish.
