Re-Introductions and festive wishes

Tue, 21 Dec 2021 13:06:20 +0000

Good afternoon all

Firstly, I wanted to re-introduce myself and my new role! At the beginning of December I formally joined LI as the new Standards and Branches Engagement Manager. My role has two parts, one is to aid in the successful management and delivery of technical material we produce, the other is to support and work with each of you, the Branches, to continue all your fantastic work in engaging with the profession and wider industry.

I am currently working on the new Handbook with Antonella and we will be looking to update you on this in January. I would love the opportunity to meet with you all, albeit virtually for the time being, and attend your next committee meetings.

Secondly, I wanted to take this opportunity to wish you all a wonderful festive break. This year, much like 2020, has been difficult for many people for many different reasons, so I hope this break allows you all some time for yourselves and your families. I will be cooking a feast, eating far too much, spending time with family (if we are still allowed), dog walks, reading and general downtime!

I am really looking forward to working with you all in the New Year!

If you have any queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact me directly, either via LI Connect or email, abi.palmer-greenwood@landscapeinstitute.org (sorry that is such a mouthful!)

UK LA education vs. local LA education ?

Wed, 11 Aug 2021 07:11:32 +0000

Hello to all international members.

I was wondering how many international members still use their LI and UK general connections ? Feel free to reply.

I am a Danish national and took my LA education at Greenwich University in the UK. Following my graduation in 2006 i worked 10 1/2 years in the UK in London, Dorset, Somerset and Oxforshire, before heading back to my native Denmark in December 2016.

There must be several international members with similar background and I was wondering how many and how you have transferred your UK experience to that of your new contries ? As here in Denmark we also work to European Standards, like in the UK, but they get interpreted a little differently.

Have you found it to be a benefit to have studied in the UK compared to where you now work ? Has it brought benefits ? or has it complicated worklife, as you don't have the same local education as all your present collegues ?

Thanks to all for responding.

Best regards,

Ann Soderberg,

Denmark

Hi All,

I am wondering if there's any P2C study groups (zoom) for members doing their pathway outside UK.

Hello International Branch, and Welcome to Connect!

Please take a look around and familiarise yourselves with the FAQ page, in case you have any questions. This section will give you some hints and tips on how to use the community.

Other sections to check out are: ‘Introduce yourselves’, The Town Centre and the public forums for other Branches. Please 'Introduce Yourself', this will help to get to know your fellow forum members and break the ice. You are able, and encouraged, to post in these sections.

Remember that this group is for all professionals in your area, it’s open and everyone on the community can join in on your conversations. This group can be utilised for networking and sharing information as well as supporting each other.

For now Connect looks pretty empty, I know, but things will change once we open the doors to the entire membership later on this Spring.

Have fun, and let me know if you have any questions!
