You're Invited to UNA's 8th Team Building Lunch & Learn! What is it? - An event of short, non-work-related TED Talk-style presentations that UNA staff will give internally to share information on any areas of personal interest or expertise. - Food will be provided in PO and SARO for those who wish to attend in person. How does it work? - Up to two individuals can sign up in advance to be a presenter and give a 5-minute talk on a topic of their choosing, with a 5-minute question period to an audience of fellow UNA staff interested in attending in person or via Zoom over lunch break. - Talks can be in a “How To…”, “Crash Course in…”, or “Brief Introduction to…” format, or any other format that is easy to follow for an audience with little to no knowledge of the topic. (eg. How to get into Home Gardening, Crash Course in Netflix Reality TV, Brief Introduction to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu) - Topics don’t need to be work-related, but should still be appropriate for a workplace environment. - The speakers can prepare slides for their talk if desired, but it is not mandatory. If there are slides, they should share them on the Zoom call so that those joining online can also see them. How Can I Attend? - Register for the event in DMS - Edmonton Location: PO Room 804 (Classroom) - Calgary Location: SARO Room 305 - Online: Meeting Link on the event page If you would like to volunteer to be a speaker, please email your topic to team.building@una.ca Hope to see you there!
