| 2019/11/11 - 2019/11/19 | Toilet Talks was a virtual event for World Toilet Day 2019. I created the concept,
built a website and collected short audio talks on the theme of WTD - 'leaving no-one
behind' and 'the social, economic and environmental consequences of inaction' - from
a dozen WASH professionals and researchers around the world. Toilet Talks posters
were circulated online and posted in public bathrooms. They included a smartphone-readable
barcode linked the Toilet Talks website, which received 820 visits from 662 visitors
in 63 countries.. (2019/11/11 - 2019/11/19)

| 2020/01 - 2024/01/01 | Self-employed English language proofreading and copy editing services for academic articles. The majority of assignments are quick-turnaround proofreading and editing of articles and book chapters for Portuguese writers, a small pool of recurring clients looking to publish in British or American English. In addition to language and grammar checks, the majority of academic material stems from the fields of sociology, political science and human rights, for which I am able to bring a little knowledge of the subject matter. |
