What is a Brown Bag Session?<\/span><\/h2>\n

Brown Bag Session is a different term for Lunch and Learn, it is an informal meeting wherein the participants gather to share their experiences and knowledge about certain topics that they want to cover with the group. This is usually associated with the participants bringing lunch in a paper brown bag, thus having the term \u201cBrown Bag Session\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

But in Phitopolis, the Brown Bag Session does not really mean that the participants need to bring in a brown bag for it to be called a \u201cBrown Bag Session”. For us here at Phitopolis, the participants will attend the session with their own snacks or food while talking about the current topic.<\/span><\/p>\n

Phitopolis and Brown Bag Sessions<\/span><\/h2>\n

As the team grew bigger with the addition of Jayson, Prince and Reynard, the Brown Bag Sessions have become a staple for the Applications team, which occurs every first Friday of the month. This is where they gather and speak out their key insights and knowledge regarding their topic for the month, mainly their topics would include technical and coding topics for their teams added knowledge. These topics would help the team with how to face different scenarios and challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n

These Brown Bag Sessions are just not to cater to the current members, but also it will entice incoming new members of the Applications team, and also other Phitopolis employees who would want to join in if the topic comes to their interest.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

These topics will also benefit those who have zero knowledge on technical or coding but want to gather more knowledge for future use.<\/span><\/p>\n

Conclusion<\/span><\/h2>\n

Phitopolis Applications team\u2019s Brown Bag Sessions are a way to help them express themselves by speaking out their thoughts, key insights and knowledge, not just letting it get stuck in your head but to also share them to others who might need them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
