* * * What is Sciences Po Wednesday? * * *

To those of you who may not be familiar with our monthly Sciences Po Wednesday event, it was first launched in November 2008 in London. The objective was to provide the Sciences Po community in London – both alumni and students – with regular opportunities to meet and exchange in a relaxed atmosphere. Sciences Po Wednesday usually takes place at the beginning of each month.

In 2009, our Sciences Po Wednesday events were held at the Walker of Whitehall near Trafalgar Square. The event successfully managed to attract a wide range of Sciences Po Alumni and young students as well as graduates eager to network and learn about professional opportunities – and still in a relaxed environment.

In 2010, we have decided to respond to the growing popularity of this event by offering a greater venue that would make this monthly gathering a bit more special.

The Royal Automobile Club is a private members’ club steeped in over 100 years of history and tradition as a social and automotive club. It was founded on 10 August 1897 as the Automobile Club of Great Britain.

If you live in London and would like to catch up with the Sciences Po community, this is the perfect event to do so.

A woman who teaches Chinese to the City is going from strength to strength
Kathleen Brooks

OF all the things you might expect to see in a language-teaching classroom, a piano is perhaps not high on the list. But that’s one of the most noticeable objects in Yalan Chuang’s office in King’s Cross, where she teaches businesspeople Chinese. “It is a very musical language, some words are spoken like a soprano and other like an alto,” she explains. Then idea came about from her first office, in what used to be Holy Trinity Church in South Kensington, where she inherited a grand piano. It has since become a vital part of her method.
