To honour Women’s History Month, Michelle Obama’s podcast was definitely the right choice, and discussing topics such as diversity in leadership, failure, race, to name but a few, was a great way to spend our evening. It is safe to say that podcasts are a great choice to listen to, and Michelle Obama’s down-to-earth conversation with her mentors and mentees was definitely the right pick for this book club.

This book club was a little different from our pre This book club was a little different from our previous ones, as this was a collaboration with our student magazine @writersblockmag !From reading their 45th issue, to planning the book club together, to finally discussing it on Zoom, attendees also had the opportunity to talk with the editors, illustrators, and authors about what the process of writing is like, as well as exchanging ideas and thoughts on the respective works, be it poetry, flash-fiction, short stories, photography, and illustrations. We hope you enjoyed the book club as much as we did!
As language students, most of us are familiar with As language students, most of us are familiar with learning a second (or third) language, but one that is very special but even more so important is Sign Language. For this two-hour workshop, you don’t need to know the language, since you’ll be learning the basics with us! We are thrilled to be collaborating with Milena Nakashima, who will be teaching us the basics of what it means to talk using hand signs. Milena is an experienced student and tutor of Pidgin Signed English, which is, in terms of syntax, close to the syntax of the English language as it is a mixture of ASL and English. We are beyond excited that she agreed to guide the workshop. We hope to see many of you there and to start learning this new language via Zoom with you all. See you there!
What batter way to ring in the weekend than to bak What batter way to ring in the weekend than to bake, eat, and chat? Along with discussing movies (particularly the bad ones), participants asked and provided for some very useful tips on how to cope with (online) uni life, including managing stress and workload. We loved seeing some new faces and the yummy goods people brought with them – a big thank you to all who came, and remember: keep calm and bake on!
LLACE is back with a new book club, but this time, LLACE is back with a new book club, but this time, we are collaborating with Writer’s Block. For the event, we will be discussing their 45th issue, which you can find here: https://writersblockmagazine.com/2021/01/15/writers-block-45/ . Join us for discussions about the different works in the genres of short stories, poetry, photography, flash fiction, and artwork. You’ll get the chance to share your thoughts on the pieces you particularly enjoyed, talk to some of the authors, and chat with the board of Writer’s Block in case you want to find out more about the process of editing and publishing. We hope to see many of you on our Zoom call, and have fun reading the magazine!
Do you have what it bakes – sorry, takes? Join L Do you have what it bakes – sorry, takes? Join LLACE for our baking event and get the opportunity for some social interaction that we all lack nowadays. Feel free to bring your already finished baked goods to the event or to bake along while we chat, it doesn’t batter. You will also get an insight into what kinds of events ACE could host, and maybe it’ll spark your interest to become part of it next year? To do our committee’s name justice, however, go check out our document for some literature inspired recipes: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ZTeYqcSsYFuHgxmb4YreSs0bjLx8sIEyQszjKOyWO3Q/edit . Piece of cake, right? Have fun baking, and we look forward to seeing you very soon. Until then, bake a leg!
Judging from the chat on the side, it is clear tha Judging from the chat on the side, it is clear that this movie was the right pick: following Tom Hanks as he kept chasing Leonardo DiCaprio around the globe, we were all into the movie and those who hadn’t seen it before, were both thrilled and agitated towards the end of it. If you couldn’t attend, we highly recommend this exciting and touching story, and thank you to everyone who came!
This book club was different from the previous one This book club was different from the previous ones – there was not a lot of laughter as usual, and no game, because it just didn’t feel appropriate with a topic as heavy as the one in ‘The Tattooist of Auschwitz’. But like David said, the book club wasn’t fun, but things don’t always have to be fun – and he’s absolutely right. It’s important to have serious conversations about topics like the holocaust, the wars, history, and politics, because all of that allows us to grow into better human beings. We certainly enjoyed talking about all of this, and we highly recommend reading the sad and yet impactful story based on real events. [To lighten the mood, do swipe to see a picture of David’s pet!]
Its been a hot second, but if you wished you’d w Its been a hot second, but if you wished you’d watched Carol last Christmas but missed it: this is your chance! Filled with dramatic, smouldering stares, conveniently forgotten gloves and a whole bunch of Cate Blanchett hair flips, this is an unforgettable film to warm your January. Link will be provided here, on Facebook and on our website.
