Teacher Talks - Sharing expertise and experience

Teacher Talks - Sharing expertise and experiences

Things worth sharing

We´ve had something up our sleeve for the last few weeks and we´re ready to do what we love and share it with you!

Here in Barcelona, our team of Oxinity teachers have been preparing short Teacher Talks, or presentations, to share their specialised area of interest or expertise during our Friday Meetings.

Our intention is to give some insight into the different subjects, skills or experiences that we all have and share them with each other so that we have a broader outlook on things and to have some insight into these different areas to help us when we are teaching and creating new content.

So far we have had 12 Teacher Talks from a wide variety of subject areas and backgrounds, so take a look below and see if any of these Teacher Talks would interest you, click the link and enjoy!
