In international diplomacy, "communication is everything". This is the main point of this conversation, in which I talk to my friend who works for the UK delegation at UNESCO in Paris. We discuss the work that UNESCO does, and the various communication challenges involved in working together with representatives from countries all around the world, including the collaborative writing of official documents where the use of a single comma can be debated for hours, and the meetings and conversations in which cultural sensitivity and good-will are essential elements for success. Also includes some communication idioms and guitar playing near the end of the episode.👉 Episode page with introduction transcript <a href="https://teacherluke.co.uk/2024/02/19/869-working-at-unesco-english-in-international-diplomacy/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://teacherluke.co.uk/2024/02/19/869-working-at-unesco-english-in-international-diplomacy/</a> Sign up to LEP Premium on Acast+ and add the premium episodes to a podcast app on your phone. <a target="_blank" rel="payment" href="https://plus.acast.com/s/teacherluke">https://plus.acast.com/s/teacherluke</a>.
