Italy produces more than 2 billion bottles of wine a year. And while everyone knows about Barolo, Prosecco and Primitivo, only a few have heard of the hidden wine-gems which the Belpaese is rich in. If you would like to bridge this gap, I might have the right journey for you. My tour will take you outside the beaten path, to lift the veil of mystery that lies upon some regions and their wines. We will, of course, cover the most famous areas (Piedmont, Tuscany, and so on) in order to refresh your knowledge and help you get your bearings. But once that is done, we will dive straight into an unknown world of vineyards stretching on glacial soils, among castles and steep walls, green hills and natural parks, nestled on sun-drenched terroirs swept by the Mediterranean breeze. We are going to journey from the mighty peaks of the Alps to a tiny little island which lies at Africa’s doorstep – with a lot of stops in between, of course. To make sure that you find something to suit your taste, there will be relevant information on the characteristics of every region and the profile of its wines.

And – it goes without saying -, where there is wine, there must be food: be prepared to hear about some local dishes which you have not heard of yet – but which you will want to try! For the first time in your life, you might crave wine & savory foods at 8 am in the morning.

The meeting will be conducted by:

Cristiano Berta – a linguist, sommelier, ski instructor and mountain lover. An Italian from Piedmont with extensive international experience. He grew up in Germany, studied in Italy, and worked in Denmark, Norway, Canada, and Switzerland.

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.

We are all familiar with Canada’s flag, but do we know the reasons why Canadians chose the maple leaf as their national symbol? The maple leaf can be found on coins, in the logos of many Canadian companies and sports teams, and as a certification mark on products equivalent to “Made in Canada.”

Please join us for our Online Breakfast on Thursday, April 6 at 8:00 a.m. This will be another meeting dedicated to the picturesque beauty of nature entitled “Canada, Part 3 – Under the Maple Leaf”.

You will find out, among other things:

• how maple syrup is made
• when the maple leaf appeared on the Canadian flag
• which Canadian waterfall is taller than Niagara Falls
• which tree was used to make riffle flasks and… violins
• what weather phenomenon is called “l’été indien” (Indian summer)
• whether it’s worth adding maple syrup to your daily diet

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.

We live in a time when unforeseen developments catch even the greatest strategists off guard. There is a lot of information coming at us from all sides, but what if the changes we have just begun to prepare for turn out to be even more different? Besides, we can be sure that the information will keep coming, and life will surprise us more than once.

So isn’t it worthwhile to learn to live happily right now, despite not always favourable circumstances? Is it even possible?

If you would like to learn how what we hear affects our well-being and happiness, how to separate the informative wheat from the chaff, and why it’s important to read books, come to the meeting on March 14th.

We will answer the following questions:

• Do language differences affect how we experience happiness?
• Can we learn how to distinguish between what benefits us and what harms us?
• What is the difference between true information and false information?
• Why is reading books better than scrolling through the news and watching videos?
• Do we all have to be equally happy?

Agnieszka Dydycz, a writer by choice, a financier by education and experience, almost an M.Sc. in construction, a certified tutor, a mentor and coach, a member of the THINK TANK expert council, and a practitioner of the good life, will talk about the influence of language on our happiness. Her books entertain, but also inspire and help us find what is best and most important for us. Two recent novels titled “I will never be taller. But I can be happier!” and “I will never be younger. But who forbids me to try!” remind us that while caring for others, we cannot not forget about ourselves. And also about the fact that we can encounter happiness at any moment of our lives and regardless of the time of day or year, but it’s entirely up to us to notice and use it!
