*Decision on Next DGJ Landscapes Internal Office meeting Tuesday 18.1. at 10h10
Read a text before joining …: DGJ Landscapes or the clubhouse meeting will select a text about 2 weeks before. They are related to Landscapes in a wider sense, thus: life, geography, sustainability, design, urbanism & architecture
If you cannot read, reading listen …: In due time immediately before our meeting, someone might read out some of the text on the clubhouse channel (to be announced).
If you did neither read nor listen text …: … you can still discuss but keep it to the point anyways. It might not be appropriate to give a strongly opinionated talk that you cannot relate to common understanding of a text. Speak your language.
