Dyslexic Brian went down really well at The University of Bristol Freshers’ Fair.

Two of the co-founders of http://DyslexicBrian.com, Goga and Antonio, spent all day telling students about the services that we offer. Goga and Antonio were shattered when they got back to the office but they said it had been worth it due to them having met dozens of positive minded dyslexic and non-dyslexic students.

There was a huge interest in http://dyslexicbrian.com/workshops/ that are aimed at assisting people to completely overcome their dyslexia. Also, loads of people signed up for our newsletter – we’ll be sending out the newsletters very soon but first Goga and Antonio are sending out a personalised video email to everyone who signed up for it.

Loads of the students we spoke to said that it would be good for us to start a Bristol University Dyslexic Brian Society – we think this is a great idea and we are now looking into setting this up.If we become a society we’re planning to run a free discussion group about dyslexia each month at the Uni – these should be good fun and will hopefully be useful to students who want to increase their awareness and understanding of dyslexia.

Check back soon to find out where Dyslexic Brian will be visiting next!

If you’re organising an event and would like Dyslexic Brian to come along then please contact us on info@DyslexiaBrian.com or call Antonio on +44 (0) 79697 89893 ... read full story / add a comment

Waiting at the traffic lights on route to the park to enjoy a rest day after an intense week involved in the organisation of an event about Climate Justice here in Bogota, the captial of Colombia, an old man approached us. He was dressed as smartly as he could, dark suit, a tie and a felt hat, but he didnt look like your average suited man. Old, weather face by the sun that makes guessing ages very difficult, a calmness, resignation about him. He held a carefully handwritten sign in his hand, "please help my family, we are displaced from Bolivar( a region where there is huge amounts of palm planted) god bless you." ... read full story / add a comment
