Good story-telling is at the heart of all effective communication. Not convinced? Then ask yourself why US government agencies such as the Department of Defense and the Environmental Protection Agency are both investing big in story-telling and finding ways to apply the power of stories to impact readers and listeners. So what makes for a good story? What links ‘The Hobbit’, ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and ‘The Thursday Murder Club’? They are all great pieces of writing - Alan will explain how we can learn from them and communicate with a reader or listener.

One hundred years ago, on 10 June 1924, the leader of the Italian Socialist Party, Giacomo Matteotti, was kidnapped and killed by a fascist squad. Six months later Mussolini launched a series of ‘very fascist’ laws which cancelled all civil and political rights and liberties in Italy for the next 20 years. Fausto will shed light on the events, characters, historical context and spirit of that dark time, as the assassination of political opponents by authoritarian regimes around the world seemingly continues.

Elton''s entertaining and informative presentation examines Hogarth''s artworks which were inspired by the popular culture of 18th-century London. Hogarth''s art, described as ‘comic history paintings’, are a distinctive British contribution to European art in the way they capture the highs and lows of contemporary London life, many carrying a strong moral message against the surrounding vices.

Hajo, a German and Australian lawyer, will - without being too technical - give us an overview of the post WWII legal frameworks that Europe has been built on. He will explore questions such as: Is the EU a country? What are the EU institutions? Which countries have the Euro? What is the Schengen Area? What does it mean to be an EU citizen?
