**Event Summary:**
Curious about what it means to be [Human Hearted](https://web.archive.org/web/20240109160949/https://areomagazine.com/2022/05/05/a-human-hearted-modernity/)?

Or perhaps you just want a cup of coffee with new people in a relaxing atmosphere.

Come gather with Human Hearted Sydney in Burwood to connect and converse with like-minded people over a cup of coffee. We'll be in the cafe for around two hours or so, or longer depending on how people feel. We usually grab lunch in the cafe or afterwards go to any of the restaurants in Burwood if people are feeling hungry.

**Time, place and date:**
The venue is Nelsons Cafe in Burwood. It's next door to Coro88, near Burwood Park, and is a short walk from Burwood station. We're usually there from 11:30am for around two to three hours every third Sunday of the month.

**Connecting to our values:**
This event is part of living out Human Hearted Sydney's values of positive social connection and building community in Sydney. So lets meet and connect with those we already know, and those we haven't met before. All are welcome to socialise, meet new people, and build friendships.

Coro88 - Nelsons Café

Join us on Sunday 16th November for our next Hands-on Humanism’s forward‑looking conversation exploring the evolution of education and the way Artificial Intelligence is shaping how we teach and learn about Science, the Humanities and our world

How do we reconcile the new science of AI with our humanity? How can we change the way we view education in the light of these groundbreaking developments?

Discover the truth behind Artificial Intelligence: it's not a sentient mind, but a powerful pattern-recognition system. AI analyses data to uncover trends, make predictions, and generate new content—all without thoughts or awareness. It simply learns from what it’s seen and applies those patterns to deliver impressive results. Embrace the brilliance of machine intelligence, built on repetition, not reflection.

Artificial Intelligence dazzles with its capabilities, but it's not infallible. Unlike humans, AI doesn’t grasp meaning, context, or truth—it operates on patterns and probabilities. It can sound confident, yet still miss the mark, because it doesn’t reason, plan, or hold opinions. Understanding its limits is key to using it wisely and effectively.

Join us for a discussion around this very current topic.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Warm regards,
Claudia

What Is Humanism

Online event

In this talk, Terry Kelly will recount his battle to get justice for the abuse he suffered at the hands of a Marist Brother. Terry was a student at the Assumption College in Kilmore where the Marist Brothers Order intentionally sent a known multiple sex offender to his school whereupon, as was common, he re-offended. After many decades of silence, Terry spoke up to finally make the Catholic Church accountable for its actions and inactions. Come and hear Terry's story of sorrow and final triumph.

Cost: This event is free. Your donation to help keep these events going is greatly appreciated. Please make your donation at [https://www.humanistsaustralia.org/donate](https://www.humanistsaustralia.org/donate)

Catholic Abuse and the Struggle for Justice

This is a get-together for Human Hearted Canberrans to discuss what kind of events they'd like to have for the next quarter. Should we be more active, and take on a project or organise a rally? Or should we organise outdoor, cultural or sporting events? Come along and have your say!

This event will be online only and will wrap up promptly after an hour.
