Workshop: How to Have Climate Conversations that Spark Change

Workshop: How to Have Climate Conversations that Spark Change

Sat, Oct 17, 9:00 AM
From Let's talk about climate change
4.8

Do you care about climate change, but find it hard to discuss with your friends and family? Do you worry about not knowing enough about climate change to be able to start a conversation? Do your attempts at bringing up the climate crisis result in unproductive arguing, or - perhaps even worse - complete silence and a change of topic? If you answered yes, this workshop is for you! You are invited to join two experts who will help you gain skills and confidence in engaging others on climate change: * Siri is a former climate communications professional, current climate communications enthusiast. She believes that acting on climate together can make a real difference to the planetary emergency, and also bring us closer as people (which in itself is pretty useful in a planetary emergency!). * Inez is a climate coalition builder at ESAlogika and is certified in transcultural counselling. She has unwavering faith in grassroots action and the importance of being a bridge among differences. She believes that Friendship is one of most important (yet underrated) forms of climate activism. During this workshop you will learn how to have good and productive climate conversations, using insights from social science and real-life experiences. You will also get to practice key skills and simple tips that you can put into action right away. The workshop is hosted by Let’s Talk About Climate Change, a volunteer-run community based in Barcelona. The group started at the end of 2022 by two friends who longed to connect with others who also care deeply about the climate crisis. Since our first energising event connecting eight strangers, the group has been running for over three years hosting over 70 events. We typically run monthly talk, book club discussions, as well as excursions, find out more about us:https://www.meetup.com/lets-talk-about-climate-change/events/ This is a special event co-hosted by Barcelona's first climate week therefore we also have another RSVP option via Luma if you prefer (https://luma.com/fmx69zpn), **please make sure you sign up only once either on Meet=up or Luma to help us keep track of numbers of attendees!** For this workshop, if you are able to, we **kindly request a small donation up to 5 euros** to help cover the cost of venue rental and annual Meet-up subscription fee.

Charla: Lo que creemos saber (y porqué estamos casi siempre equivocados)

Charla: Lo que creemos saber (y porqué estamos casi siempre equivocados)

Fri, Oct 16, 6:00 PM
From Charlas de Filosofía Barcelona
4.7

Un viaje apasionante por algunos de los mayores enigmas de la ciencia y la filosofía para descubrir que las preguntas más importantes siguen siendo las que nos invitan a pensar. ¿Podemos conocer realmente la realidad? ¿Somos libres al decidir? ¿Qué puede explicar la ciencia y qué queda todavía fuera de su alcance? A través de sorprendentes historias, experimentos, paradojas y grandes pensadores, esta conferencia propone un recorrido por las fronteras del conocimiento humano. Lejos de ofrecer respuestas definitivas, invita a descubrir que el auténtico saber comienza cuando somos conscientes de nuestros propios límites. Una reflexión apasionante para quienes creen que las mejores preguntas son las que nos transforman. Actividad impartida por: Sara Ortiz 🎟️ Actividad gratuita. ⚠️ Sé responsable con tu inscripción. Si no puedes asistir, por favor, cancela tu plaza para dar lugar a otra persona. Si tienes alguna pregunta puedes contactarnos al móvil: 686 22 62 84. \*\*\* Para garantizar el buen funcionamiento de la actividad y evitar interrupciones, se ruega puntualidad. No se permitirá la entrada pasados los primeros 10 minutos de la actividad. Gracias por la comprensión.

Más allá del algoritmo: Filosofía ante la IA

Más allá del algoritmo: Filosofía ante la IA

Sat, Oct 17, 5:00 PM
From Charlas de Filosofía Barcelona
4.7

Una actividad participativa para acercarnos a la inteligencia artificial desde una perspectiva filosófica, crítica y accesible. **¿Qué es la IA? ¿Cómo aprende y funciona?** Explicaremos de forma clara y comprensible estas cuestiones a modo de introducción para dar lugar a la actividad. A partir de fragmentos breves de películas y referencias a la literatura de ciencia ficción, plantearemos algunos de los grandes interrogantes que acompañan a estas tecnologías: ¿puede una máquina comprender o ser consciente?, ¿qué decisiones deberíamos permitirle tomar?, ¿cómo afectará a nuestras relaciones, nuestros empleos y nuestra idea de creatividad?, ¿quién es responsable cuando un sistema se equivoca? Mediante sencillas dinámicas podremos debatir situaciones concretas, contrastar diferentes puntos de vista y formular sus propios criterios para una convivencia responsable entre seres humanos y sistemas inteligentes." 📱Si tienes alguna pregunta, puedes contactarnos al móvil: 686 22 62 84. 🎟️ Actividad gratuita. ⚠️ Sé responsable con tu inscripción. Si no puedes asistir, por favor, cancela tu plaza para dar lugar a otra persona. \*\*\* Para garantizar el buen funcionamiento de la actividad y evitar interrupciones, se ruega puntualidad.
