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, […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

The UK’s 2010 Bribery Act is in some ways a daunting piece of legislation. It obliges us all to think about how we operate. It set a legal framework in which we make those judgements. It goes to the heart of ethical and responsible practices. So spending 5 days talking about it with experts in […]

British Week 2015 seems like a long time away but traditionally we always close it with a charity ball. But what is a charity ball without the charities? So the time has come to bid for the money that we hope the ball will make. Usually in the region of over $10,000. Last year’s winners […]
