Content Teatime

New Content Teatime event incoming! Do you fancy speaking on the future of content design? If you have an idea for a lightning talk then send your idea to helen.lawson2@coop.co.uk by 15th March.

This free coding course for beginners is a great opportunity for people aged 18-30 in the Stockport area.

Most of us can probably relate to this.

This sounds like a really interesting session.

It’s a great question…

The recording from our death and bereavement special event is now available: m.youtube.com/watch?v=XPDbxQ…

@HannahPinnock @marthie It’s an interesting one to think about isn’t it. I think it was in the context of being careful not to sound insincere or offer false sympathy. We should have the recording ready to share soon, so it will be interesting to rewatch and reflect.

@marthie @ContentTeatime Indeed. Surely sympathy is actually okay most of the time. It's an interesting thing to explore, so many designers are dogmatic about this stuff and I just don't think it's always (ever?) black and white

James from DWP Digital: "Avoid false sympathy and euphemisms. It's empathy not sympathy that people are looking for." #ContentDesign #ContentStrategy

We're really blown away by all the love for last night's event. Thank you to everyone who came and was part of it, we were thrilled by the sense of community and great chats it inspired. See you again soon.

@WordswithKim @mcfadyen_jane @NiaRCampbell @WastedElegance @GoSarahKey @JmeKane We’ll share the link here once it’s available. Bear with us; we’ll get it up as soon as we can.

@GoSarahKey loved your talk at @ContentTeatime today. As someone who also has the lived experience of bereavement that you spoke of (inc knowledge of that organ donation pathway) I have found it has massively impacted the ways and why of my job.

Wow. Utterly blown away by today's @ContentTeatime all about death and grief. It was a privilege to share the stage with so many knowledgeable people on such an important topic.

Five excellent, fasctinating talks. Thank you to our speakers: @mcfadyen_jane, @NiaRCampbell, @WastedElegance, @GoSarahKey and @JmeKane. We will share the link to the recording soon. #contentdesign #contentstrategy

“Information is not always a substitute for support” - @NiaRCampbell

Just a few minutes until our death and bereavement special event starts. Time to grab a cuppa and settle in. #ContentDesign #ContentStrategy

@giles75 We usually do (providing the technology works). We'll share the link on here.

There’s still time to grab a free ticket and join us for our lightning talks on death and bereavement tomorrow. #ContentDesign #ContentStrategy
