Employability Skills: small skills, real impact

Coming next:

Communication
Active listening

Before we start reading, why not listen to a short biography of Oscar Wilde and get to know a little more about his life and work?

Once Upon a Book Club
A book. A conversation. A different perspective.

Sometimes we read a book again and discover that we are no longer the same readers.

This time, at Once Upon a Book Club, we read Me Before You by Jojo Moyes again. We had already read it a few years ago, but this time we looked at the story from a different perspective.

We talked more deeply about the characters, their decisions, relationships, personal freedom and some of the difficult questions raised by the novel.

We also had the chance to watch a short interview with Jojo Moyes and hear her talk about her book and her characters.

Because reading together is not only about finishing a book. It is also about sharing ideas, listening to different opinions and discovering new things in a story we thought we already knew.
