🥠About The Pineapple
The Pineapple is Brida’s living journal — a continuous stream of stories, conversations, and reflections from our community.
New pieces appear regularly, sharing ideas from our residents and friends around the world — curious thoughts, creative writing, and glimpses into life within Brida.
It’s a space to explore, to think, and to connect.
Sometimes playful, sometimes serious, always genuine — that’s the spirit of The Pineapple.
🎙️ Podcasts — Voices of Brida
Our podcasts continue the conversations started in print.
They bring the people behind the stories to life — in their own voices, in their own words.
Recorded around kitchen tables, at Brida events, or over digital cups of coffee, these podcasts share moments of curiosity and exchange.
They’re informal, spontaneous, and full of the energy that makes Brida unique.
🎪 Events — Where Ideas Meet People
Brida isn’t only something you read — it’s something you experience.
Our events bring people together locally and online: creative workshops, discussions, and live recordings that feed into the stories you find in The Pineapple.
Each gathering sparks new ideas, friendships, and collaborations.
The Pineapple simply captures that spirit in words and sound.
🌍 About Brida
Brida is a living community built on curiosity and a space for people to improve their English language skills.
It’s a space where people from different cultures, professions, and generations meet to share ideas, learn from one another, and create something meaningful together.
Our purpose is simple:
to make ideas travel and to connect people through curiosity, creativity, and conversation.
Brida is the ecosystem;
The Pineapple is its journal — a continuous reflection of the life and learning happening inside it.
🤝 Collaboration — The People Behind the Pineapple
The Pineapple is a collaborative creation.
It’s written, designed, and recorded by the residents of Brida — teachers, students, artists, writers, and thinkers who contribute their time, talent, and imagination.
Every story, podcast, and event is the result of people working together — exploring ideas, experimenting with formats, and sharing what they discover.
We’re always looking for new voices and perspectives.
If you’d like to contribute, get in touch — there’s always room for another story in the Pineapple.
✏️ Be part of the conversation. Read, listen, share — and help ideas grow.
Would you like me to prepare a version formatted for the web (with heading tags, paragraph spacing, and suggested Kadence block layout)? It’ll be ready to paste directly into the WordPress editor.
