Súbete al bus de la Semana Británica 2015

La Semana Británica que llevamos a cabo en Guatemala ha sido siempre nuestra forma de mostrar lo mejor de nuestra nación. La parte más difícil es reducir las posibilidades de todo lo que podemos hacer a solamente una semana. Eso significa que llevamos a cabo una gran variedad de eventos que cruzan las líneas culturales, […]

Get on the bus for British Week Guatemala 2015

The British Week that we hold in Guatemala has always been our way of showing the best of our nation. The hardest part is narrowing down the possibilities of what we could do to just a week’s worth of activity. That means that we hold a real variety of events crossing cultural, political and economic […]

Speaking your language, and yours’, and yours’………. Do you want to speak mine?

As Brits we often get away with just speaking English. So I never thought I would have to speak more than 20 languages in order to be understood. Especially not when all those languages occur in just one country. In the next few weeks I will be participating in events in Panajachel  which will bring […]

Hablando tu idioma y el tuyo y el tuyo…. quieres hablar el mio?

Como británicos a menudo conseguimos llegar a lo que queremos solamente hablando Inglés. Así que nunca pensé que tendría que hablar más de 20 idiomas para poder ser entendida. Especialmente cuando todos esos idiomas se hablan solamente en un país. En los siguientes días estaré participando en eventos en Panajachel, lo que unirá a líderes […]

Abriéndose hacia un desarrollo económico

La Ley de Soborno de 2010 del Reino Unido es de alguna manera un desafío para la legislación. Esto nos obliga a todos a pensar como funcionamos. Esto puso un marco legal en el cual hacemos estos juicios. Esto va al corazón de prácticas éticas y responsables. Así que pasar 5 días hablando de ello […]
