Awesome! Day 1 of a 2 day staff seminar on AFLATOUN-an international Social & Financial Capacity Education programme to be introduced to the students this semester. 12 hrs of seminar flew by & despite little sleep prior & fully immersed in Spanish I managed to remain captivated, energised & engaged. Everything about today was inspiring. From the organisation, the concept, the content & most of all the commitment of all involved. So inspirational in fact that for the self exploration exercise whereby we drew ourselves as who we are, in terms of profound personal definition, and then spoke about it, I created a new language of expression which I have aptly named 'Espanugues'!! It's what comes out of my mouth when I am thinking in Portugues & trying to speak Espanol..kinda like a weaving together of the 2..somehow people managed to follow me though..or at least were polite enough to make out they did. LOL :-)
