Dear friends and colleagues,
This is to let you know that the School of Management and Languages at Heriot-Watt University will be running a two-day Summer School for Deaf managers, aspiring managers, directors, CEOs, businesspeople, etc and all those working in a bilingual/bicultural environment who want to learn more about the skills needed.
The Summer School will take place on Monday 16th and Tuesday 17th May, meaning you could combine it with a weekend in Edinburgh , Scotland 's capital city.
We will have a number of excellent presenters, both Deaf and hearing, from both Britain and abroad, who have had a wide range of experiences in management. The names will be announced on the website next week. There will be a Scottish entertainment on Monday night.
The cost will be £395 including accommodation, food and entertainment.
Please can you let me know if you are really interested in attending this Summer School, which is the first of its kind? If so, please do put it in your diary!
Heriot-Watt University is only 3 miles from Edinburgh airport and is conveniently placed for travel to and from the rest of Central Scotland . There are other excellent transport links via road and rail.
Please do let everyone who may be interested know about this unique event, which combines the expertise of Heriot-Watt's Management and Languages teams. Heriot-Watt is the only university where BSL is situated at the heart of a Languages Department and part of the same School as Management.
Many thanks,
Tessa
