Education Minister, Social Media

It was the turn of the Minister of Education John Cortes to give his address in parliament where he shared a number of interesting announcements. These included recruiting new teachers and possibly building a new school. Shelina Assomul was following his speech closely, and also gave us an update on the case involving the Government and the owner of the MUGA bar Allen Asquez at the Supreme Court. But the majority of today’s episode is focused on social media, as Social Media Day was a couple of days ago. For many of us social media has become a key part of our day to day lives. We spoke to several Gibraltarians that have a prominent social media presence and asked them what role social media plays in their lives, some healthy habits as well as a few dos and don’ts. In the studio were historian Ryan Asquez, known online as the llanitohistorydoc, travel influencers Penelope Bielckus (the_flyaway_girl) and Gianni Spiteri (teawithgi), foodie content creator Em Todorova (theoutdoorfoodie), as well as Steven Pardo (snbattlereports) who posts videos about WarHammer, and professional gamer Keiron Prescott who goes by scoom on Twitch.  Hosted on Acast.
