U.S. Civil War

L’any 2026 es compleixen 90 anys de l’inici de la Guerra Civil i és a més en el que es compleixen 50 de l’aprovació per les Corts franquistes de la Llei per a la Reforma Política quan feia un any de la mort del dictador. Aquest curs pretén repassar, sis dècades després, no ja que va conduir a la revolta feixista contra l’ordre democràtic, sinó, que ha passat perquè després d’una guerra fratricida i una dictadura de gairebé quatre dècades, la nostra societat estigui evolucionant cap a una situació on res fosc no sembla haver passat. Dedicarem quatre sessions a parlar de diferents qüestions com ara repassar perquè al nostre país costa tant, al contrari que altres democràcies europees, fer un exercici de memòria col·lectiva que serveixi per a tancar definitivament les ferides encara obertes desprès de 60 anys. 7 d'abril a les 18 hores - **Ricard Conesa:** *La guerra, la dictadura i les polítiques de memòria* 9 d'abril a les 18 hores - **David González:** *Espais de memòria: patrimoni per educar en democràcia i drets humans* 14 d'abril a les 18 hores - **Anna Pastor:** *Dona, tu ets el foc que mai s'apaga* 16 d'abril a les 18 hores - **Mercè Garcés i Rosa Sans:** *Les entitats memorialistes: resistència davant les amenaces antidemocràtiques* \*Aquest curs està organitzat per L'H Espai Debat i l’Observatori Europeu de Memòries (EUROM) de la Fundació Solidaritat UB, i compta amb la col·laboració de l’Ateneu Memòria Popular.

Hola y bienvenidos a nuestro próximo meetup de filosofía de Sócrates Café! ¿Deseas una comprensión más profunda de ti mismo y del mundo? ¿Valoras el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso? Si es así, entonces este encuentro será muy interesante para ti. 1. ¿DONDE NOS ENCONTRAMOS? Cafè de l'Òpera La Rambla, 74 near metro Liceu. https://goo.gl/maps/rgmRhs4WMD3ciASk7 Suban al cuarto arriba, hay que pedir y pagar en la barra antes de subir. 2. ¿CUANDO NOS ENCONTRAMOS? los martes de 19:30 a 21:00 (las otras sessions están en ingles). 3. ¿CUÁNTOS NOS REUNIMOS? Hasta 25 personas. Las reuniones comenzarán a las 7.30 pm. Por favor, lleguen a tiempo. Empezaremos puntualmente. 4. ¿QUE PASA EN LAS REUNIONES? En cada reunión tenemos una discusión usando el método socrático: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method Hacemos, respondemos y discutimos preguntas e ideas para estimular el pensamiento crítico y ampliar nuestras perspectivas con algunos conceptos y pensamientos en los que nunca hemos pensado. El objetivo principal de estos encuentros es enriquecernos con las perspectivas de los demás, no convencer a los demás sobre nuestras propias perspectivas. Nuestras reuniones son sobre nuestras propias filosofías de la vida y no necesariamente lo que los grandes filósofos y académicos han dicho o escrito. No es un club de debate o una plataforma para hacer proselitismo. En cambio, ponemos énfasis en cuestionar, tener una mentalidad abierta y desafiar nuestras propias suposiciones mientras escuchamos y respetamos las opiniones compartidas por otros. Una reunión de Socrates Café se considera un éxito cuando los participantes dejan una discusión con muchas más preguntas de las que tenían al principio. 5. ¿QUÉ TEMA SE DISCUTE EN EL MEETUP? Los participantes sugieren temas al principio de cada reunión. Luego votamos y elegimos el tema más popular de ese evento para la discusión. No es necesaria la formación académica en filosofía; Solo entusiasmo por intercambiar ideas y puntos de vista. Algunos ejemplos de temas elegidos en reuniones anteriores: * ¿Por qué ideales vale la pena morir? * ¿Por qué nunca estamos satisfechos? * ¿Por qué los seres humanos están informados de que la sociedad está yendo mal y los líderes están bien informados y las cosas continúan? * ¿Es necesaria la identidad? * ¿Qué es el precio ético y la codicia? * ¿Qué es post-verdad? * ¿Cómo puede ser que las personas en las sociedades democráticas estén tan obsesionadas con el poder? (Deseo de ser diferente, mejor, más fuerte que los demás). * ¿Qué es la amistad? 6. ¿QUIÉN PUEDE PARTICIPAR EN ESTE MEETUP? Cualquiera es más que bienvenido a unirse a nuestros encuentros. Nuestros eventos reúnen a personas de diferentes orígenes, diferentes culturas, mientras que no es obligatorio tener antecedentes filosóficos. Nuestros participantes habituales son personas que tienen deseo de una comprensión más profunda de sí mismos y del mundo. Personas que valoran el diálogo profundo, honesto y respetuoso.

This book club approaches foundational texts that have shaped the past three centuries through a cross-disciplinary reading series that invites us to engage with the questions of our present. Each session pairs one of these works with a strictly contemporary text (as an optional reading), creating a dialogue in which the past becomes a lens for thinking the present, and vice versa. **No academic background is required; curiosity and openness are all you need.** *BUY THE BOOKS HERE:* **This month we will be reading [Against Interpretation and Other Essays by Susan Sontag.](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/against-interpretation/) Paired with [Ways of Seeing by John Berger](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/ways-of-seeing/).** Hosted by Josefina Alippi

What does freedom really mean — and how do we live it every day? Together, we’ll explore what freedom looks like in practice and how Timothy Snyder challenges us to rethink responsibility and courage. *Even if you haven’t finished the book — or didn’t even get started — you’re welcome to join the discussion and share your thoughts.* * **17:30–18:00** — Mingling and browsing at Backstory Bookshop * **18:00 sharp** — Book club begins. *Please arrive on time so we can start promptly and minimize interruptions. Thank you!* ***Discussion questions will be sent at least 24 hours before the event to everyone who RSVPs.*** Let us know if you’re interested in helping moderate the discussion. **\*\*\*To Attend, RSVP [HERE](https://www.democratsabroad.org/181073/_book_club_april_11_on_freedom_by_timothy_snyder)\*\*\*** **THE BOOK:** In *On Freedom*, Timothy Snyder offers a philosophical and historical reflection on what freedom truly means. Moving beyond slogans, he explores how freedom depends on truth, solidarity, responsibility, and meaningful connection with others. Thought-provoking and deeply relevant, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence — but as something we build together. Last year we read Snyder’s *On Tyranny*, which inspired millions to fight for freedom. In *On Freedom*, the acclaimed Yale historian takes us on a philosophical and historical journey to understand exactly what freedom is, why it matters, and how we can protect it. Thought-provoking and urgent, this book invites us to rethink liberty not just as independence, but as a value we build and defend together. "**On Freedom**" is available from **Backstory Bookshop** in paperback or as an audiobook. **Paperback:** Stop by the shop, give them a call, or order online by [clicking here](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/on-freedom-2/). directly through Backstory. **Audiobook:** The audio version is approximately **8–9 hours** — a helpful guide to plan your reading time. ***🍝 Join us for Dinner with DA immediately following the book club.

AI is making decisions, generating content, and raising questions we haven't legislated yet, including one that once seemed purely philosophical: can an AI have rights? Recent studies show we're already trusting AI more than our own judgment, with critical thinking declining the more we rely on it. Meanwhile, violations are shaping legislation instead of the other way around, and the fences we're building may already be too late. This is a conversation about accountability, consciousness, and what happens when no one is checking if the rules actually work, or if there is even any rule at all. This session will be led by James and Cody. Bring wine/beer/drinks/food/snacks/whatever if you want to. **Our events fill up very quickly. To avoid missing out on future events, join the WhatsApp group via this link:** [https://tally.so/r/w4G5L5](https://tally.so/r/w4G5L5) Press the buzzer marked Semi sotano 2 (bottom left on the panel) to be let in.

An intimate **wine tasting experience in a private Mediterranean villa overlooking Barcelona**.

Origin, production and character are introduced during the tasting, but the focus remains on **sensory experience, conversation and enjoying wine together in a relaxed setting**. The tasting is paired with a **Mediterranean sharing selection** including cheeses, bread, olive oil and simple, well-chosen products designed to accompany the wines. After the guided tasting, the evening continues with **open bar of a cooperative wine**, selected for its freshness and drinkability — a wine meant to stay on the table while sunset fades and the city lights begin to appear. The experience takes place on one of the terraces of **The White Villa**, surrounded by plants, evening light and open views over Barcelona and Tibidabo. Pool, terraces and skyline views create a calm and intimate atmosphere. This is **not a crowded tasting**. It’s a **curated gathering for people who enjoy wine, conversation and beautiful spaces**. **Ideal for:** – Expats and internationals – Wine lovers – Newcomers to Barcelona – Those looking for a relaxed social evening with a different atmosphere **The experience includes:** * **Guided tasting of three selected wines** * **Open bar of cooperative wine after the tasting** * Mediterranean sharing selection (cheeses, bread, olive oil and simple pairings) The reservation confirms your place in this **limited and intimate tasting format**.

Hola a tod@s, Soy Miguel, Doctor en historia contemporánea y animador de este grupo de meet up. Si en la ruta de la LA BARCELONA OBRERA, REBELDE Y ANARQUISTA podéis conocer los orígenes del movimiento obrero en nuestra ciudad, y en la ruta dedicada a la Barcelona de LA REPÚBLICA Y LA GUERRA CIVIL nos adentramos en la convulsa década de los años treinta, en esta ocasión queremos poner el foco en los cuarenta años de dictadura franquista. En esta ruta, LA BARCELONA ANTIFRANQUISTA conoceremos cómo se vivió el franquismo en Barcelona. Nos adentraremos en los distintos frentes de la oposición antifranquista, desde el movimiento estudiantil hasta el movimiento obrero, pasando por el resurgir del catalanismo o las expresiones de protesta genuinas como el movimiento vecinal o el novedoso 'rock layetano'. Así pues con esta ruta cerramos nuestra particular trilogía sobre la historia social de Barcelona. En ella conoceremos lugares emblemáticos de la represión franquista y episodios poco conocidos de censura y clandestinidad. También veremos como el franquismo contó con sus propios apoyos en la sociedad catalana que le ayudaron a perpetuarse. En definitiva una panorámica completa del período franquista en tu ciudad. Se ruega compromiso, si no vais a venir desapuntaos de la actividad por favor. Os espero en la salida del metro de la plaza Urquinaona situada en el mismo centro de la plaza. PRECIO: 14 Eu ¡Un saludo a tod@s! Miguel

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

AI is changing how art is made. But when does it stop being your work and start being the machine’s? This month we're going to be doing a panel with with digital image, music, and written word artists, talking about at what point, while using AI in the creation process, does the work become not the artist creation? We encourage audience participation during this event that will be moderated by Chris Slee. Whether you’re deep in the field or just getting curious, come connect with others building and exploring AI in Columbus. Sponsored by [Transform Labs](https://www.transformlabs.com/services)

**Connected Westerville Night of Networking** *April Edition: The Introduction Economy* You've been to the networking events. You've done the small talk. Collected the cards. Forgotten the names. And walked out feeling like you just wasted two hours of your life. The problem isn't you. It's the format. Most networking events put you in a room and tell you to figure it out. So everyone defaults to elevator pitches and business talk, and nothing real gets built. Here's the truth about networking that most people miss: Your network isn't just who you know. It's who thinks of you when they're talking to someone else. *That's* The Introduction Economy. And it only works when relationships are real. There's a reason people who come once keep coming back. It starts with seven minutes that feel nothing like networking. Then we open it up. Free networking. More conversations. More momentum. This is a room full of corporate professionals, entrepreneurs, business owners, creatives, and career builders in the Westerville and Columbus area. The mix is the magic. You might never do business with everyone you meet tonight. But someone in this room will think of *you.* **By name**. So, the next time someone needs exactly what you do, you get the recommendation. **April 14th. RSVP now.** **When:** Tuesday\, April 14th \| 6:15 PM \-\- 8:00 PM **Where:** Vineyard Community Center \| 6000 Cooper Rd\, Westerville\, OH 43081

Sleep in on Sundays. When you've had your fill of pajama-time, roll out and have some tasty brunch with your fellow Humanists!

On Thursday, April 16, 2026, we will meet at the 700N Conference Room at 700 N Hurstbourne Pkwy. Doors will open at 6:00 p.m., and the presentations will begin sharply at 6:30 p.m. Along with an excellent presentation, TEKsystems will provide food. Please RSVP so we know how much food to order. Afterward, we will go to Brick House Tavern for drinks and food to continue the conversation. The session will also be broadcast at https://twitch.tv/TaleLearnCode. ### What If Your AI Could Be a Team? GitHub Copilot is powerful, but what if you could scale from a solo AI assistant to an entire team of specialized agents working in parallel? This session introduces Squad: an open-source framework for multi-agent orchestration that lets you define teams of AI agents with specific roles, responsibilities, and expertise. We'll progress from Copilot basics to the Copilot CLI, explore how Agents add autonomy, and see how Instructions and Skills let you customize agent behavior. Then, the climax: a live demo where a Squad team of 3 agents (Lead, Developer, Tester) stands up and builds a working application in real-time, showcasing true multi-agent collaboration. Whether you're new to AI or exploring how to scale your use of Copilot, this session will show you what's possible when agents work as a team.
