Lunchtime chat

 Registration is closed for this event
Come to our regular gathering of CIfA members, combining the networking of live events with archaeological topics.

 

Zoom details have now been sent out for this event - if you have registered and not received these, please check your junk mail folder or contact us via conference@archaeologists.net

 

Description

Comments on social media, such as during the Heritage Chat on Twitter, have highlighted how much people are missing the everyday networking opportunities which have been halted due to lockdown procedures. We know nothing can really beat the cross-organisational networking that happens in the break room, but we are trying to fill that gap.
 

Join us for Lunchtime chat, a digital lunch break, from 12:30 until 13:15. Expand your social network from the comfort of your own home or wherever you are currently located, and perhaps chat with some people on Zoom other than your daily contacts! We will set up a series of break-out rooms for people to join and go from there.
 

CIfA staff will also be joining in on the conversations, so feel free to say hi! Please bear in mind: this is something new we are trying out. If you can think of ways to improve the process, let us know and we will see what we can do! This will be completely free with up to 100 spaces available.


Topics:

  • Careering around the CIfA website
    Join CIfA staff Anna Welch and Meg Keates this tea break as we take you on a tour of the Career pages on the CIfA website. As part of our ongoing aim to improve advice about archaeological careers, we’d like your input. What are your biggest questions around careers? Do our careers pages have the answer and how can we improve them?

     

  • Mental health support in the workplace
    Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Week (10 – 16 May) we’d like to hear your ideas, thoughts and suggestions in this discussion on how workplaces can better support mental health.

     

  • CIfA2021: Highlights 
    Now that our annual conference has concluded, we’d love to hear more about your session highlights – what were the ideas, thoughts and concepts that you’ve taken away from our CIfA2021 sessions? What topics would you like to see us explore in future events and conference sessions? This will be a discussion exploring the CIfA2021 content – if you do wish to provide your feedback on the conference itself or the format, please do complete our conference survey
