Learning Wednesdays

public

Learning Wednesdays is an initiative aimed at fostering continuous growth and knowledge sharing within our team. By offering a variety of formats—such as workshops, presentations, and discussion clubs—we create opportunities for team members to explore new ideas, learn new tools, and collaborate on projects.

The goal is not just to enhance individual skills but to strengthen our collective expertise, making us more adaptable and innovative as a team. These sessions are designed to encourage open dialogue, cross-team collaboration, and creative problem-solving, ultimately improving both our work and our understanding of the clients we serve.

Through Learning Wednesdays, we aim to cultivate a culture of learning and innovation, where team members feel empowered to share insights, ask questions, and contribute to each other’s growth.

Format

Learning Wednesdays will be a live session conducted via Google Meet. Each session will follow one of the formats:

  • 🔧** Workshops**: Hands-on sessions designed to provide practical learning through collaboration and experimentation.
  • 🍻** Clubs**: Casual, discussion-driven gatherings focused on collaborative exploration of ideas, challenges, or learning goals.
  • **🎤 Presentations**: Informative sessions where team members share knowledge on projects, tools, or relevant topics.
  • ❓AMAs (Ask Me Anything): Open Q&A sessions where a host shares insights on a specific topic, answering questions from the team in an informal and interactive setting.

Club formats we are considering, all still drafts: podcast club, conference sessions club, book and article club, personal development challenges.

Attending

To attend Learning Wednesdays, simply refer to the calendar invites that have been sent out. Each invite will contain the topic, time, and details for the current session. Be sure to check the calendar regularly, as the session format and topic will vary from week to week. Whether it’s a workshop, presentation, or club discussion, all the information you need will be in the invite.

Presenting

If you’re presenting at a Learning Wednesday, preparation depends on the session format:

  • Workshops: Prepare hands-on exercises or collaborative activities that engage participants in practical tasks. Ensure you provide any necessary tools or resources beforehand.
  • Presentations: Create a structured presentation on your selected topic, project, or tool. Include key insights, challenges, solutions, and any lessons learned. Be ready for an interactive Q&A afterward. In the past we’ve seen:
    • “Classic” Presentations: you present something with slides about a topic you’re interested/expert in. It’s what generally happens at conferences.
    • Tech Spotlights: present something you know (project/saas service/tool), in any format (full-on presentation or quick and dirty screensharing).
  • Clubs: Guide the discussion by preparing a few key topics or questions that will stimulate group interaction. Focus on creating a collaborative environment where participants can share insights and ideas. It’s the perfect format if you don’t have time to prepare but still want to watch a video/read a post together.

No matter the format, the goal is to make the session interactive and engaging for all participants. However, it is also a learning opportunity for you, the presenter. If you need advice or help preparing your workshop, presentation, or club session, feel free to reach out to Alessio Rocco or Andrea Vassallo .

After the event

After each Learning Wednesday session, if you are interested in further exploring the topics covered, feel free to reach out to the presenter or facilitator. There may be additional resources, follow-up activities, or initiatives for continued learning.

Additionally, the calls are recorded, and you can access the session recording in the shared drive dedicated to learning and development .
