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.The final part of the series is about learning through Volunteering. I had a number of people who wanted to be involved, so in the end I decided to split this into three conversations. The first one is with Sónia Rio and MIRIAM SANTOS FREIRE – both independent professional colleagues from LinkedIn whom I didn’t know very well before we got together on Zoom.What did we talk about?I really wanted to show some of the different ways in which people can be volunteers, so I spoke with people doing very different roles.We talked about:🗣 Sónia and Miriam’s stories – why they decided to volunteer and which organisations they chose.🗣🗣The skills and knowledge that they both bring to their volunteering roles🗣 Some of the things that my guests have learned through their volunteering experiences.🗣 Some strategies for finding time and managing it so that there’s enough to support others through volunteering🗣 Tips for getting started with volunteering.Thank you both for joining me on the podcast - it was wonderful to get to know you better! And thank you also to @diana and @colette, whose episodes on this topic are coming soon.Links to all of the organisations that we mentioned are listed on our episode's page, so go and have a look if you want to learn more about them.You can find the show notes page with my guests' LinkedIn links and all the links for the organisations here: https://englishwithkirsty.com/podcast/episode289/ Do you have any stories that you'd like to share about what you've learned through volunteering?
