Episode 290: EwK290 - Learning through volunteering - part 2

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 second part is with Diana Silva Franco, whom you may remember because she was also my guest in episode 219.

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:

🎧 Diana’s story – why she decided to volunteer and which organisations she chose.
🎧 The skills and knowledge that Diana brings to her volunteering roles, plus some of the things that she enjoyed
🎧 Some of the things that Diana has learned through their volunteering experiences – one of which was to go in with an open mind and be prepared for the role to change, depending on the needs that arise.
🎧 Exploring different parts of our personalities as we explore our additional languages
🎧 Tips for getting started with volunteering .
