SUMMARY:Things Can Be Better: How to Change Minds and Stop Propaganda
DESCRIPTION:Sunday\, September 28th\, 2-3pm \nIn-Person \nLocation: Charis Books & More\, 184 S. Candler St.\, Decatur\, GA 30030 \nFeatured Speaker: Michael Czajkowski\, PhD\n \nThings Can Be Better: How to Change Minds and Stop Propaganda \n  \nJoin us as we share this important talk with Charis Books & More! This Talk is FREE to all attendees! \n \n  \nThis event takes place in person at Charis and on Crowdcast\, Charis’ virtual event platform. This event is free\, but registration is required for virtual attendance. Click here to register to attend virtually. Please read the in-person event guidelines to be sure you can participate in the event. \n  \nCharis welcomes Michael Czajkowski for Things Can Be Better: How to Change Minds and Stop Propaganda\, a workshop around propaganda\, misinformation\, and offering hope and skills for a way forward. \nWorkshop Description \nI feel vulnerable. Everyday I feel strained and uncertain about my future and safety due to current events. Maybe you do too. To make real progress seems to require the changing of so many minds that feel so close yet so far away. This might feel bleak to you\, but I feel hope about this. Based in science. This workshop is to spread this hope. \nI will review the lesser-known and yet most powerful challenges to the progress of society\, which will be difficult to face. We will then go through a large-scale strategy which turns these challenges into advantages. Finally\, core to this strategy is a lesser known set of interpersonal communication habits\, which we will practice together. \n  \nThe event is free and open to all people\, especially to those who have no income or low income\, but we encourage and appreciate a donation of $5-20 in support of the work of Charis Circle\, our programming non-profit. Charis Circle’s mission is to foster sustainable feminist communities\, work for social justice\, and encourage the expression of diverse and marginalized voices. Donate on Crowdcast or via their website. \n  \n \nWorkshop Facilitator: Michael Czajkowski\, PhD \nMichael Czajkowski is the Director of Advocacy for the nonprofit Science for Georgia working on community science translation projects to support community autonomy\, awareness of environmental health threats\, and resistance against more general forms of misinformation and manipulation. They have diverse experiences working in art\, science\, facilitation\, community organizing and many different levels of education\, which is hopefully leading to useful new insights and perspectives. Michael’s background in soft matter physics is not so relevant to this\, but is pretty fun and they love to talk about it. \n

SUMMARY:Red Wiggler Wrangling – DIY Worm Farming
DESCRIPTION:Ready to befriend some of Earth’s most hardworking (and surprisingly adorable) little recyclers? Join us for a hands-on worm-farming adventure! RSVP to snag one of only 15 worm-farm kits (one per family/group) during this combo mini-lecture and interactive workshop. \nClick here to register via the Atlanta Science Festival Website.  \nWorm farming\, also known as vermiculture\, uses special composting worms that can turn kitchen scraps into rich\, garden-ready nutrients up to three times faster than a traditional compost pile\, all with less effort. We’ll be spotlighting our superstar species\, the humble Red Wiggler: resilient\, low-maintenance\, and perfectly content living quietly indoors or outside. \nPlease wear closed-toe shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting a bit messy. If you’re concerned about transporting your new worm system home\, feel free to bring a towel or tarp.
