English UK is delighted to announce that the British Council is hosting a couple of fantastic seminars in March. The first session out of three, "Unplugging (with) the coursework", will take place in Glasgow on Tuesday 8 March followed by the second session held in London on Tuesday 15 March with the title, "Special Needs and Inclusive Learning - Celebrating and Working with Difference". The last session on the topic of "Café culture in ELT: the importance of reading for pleasure", will be held on 22 March in Brighton.

In today's world, where change is so constant and challenges need managing, an organisation can only reap the full benefits of good management if everyone is committed and skilled enough to cope.
