**IV. Climate Café Ljubljana** What does climate change mean to you - not as a statistic, but as a lived experience? How do we move from awareness to action, and from individual concern to collective response? These are the questions at the heart of the Climate Café in Ljubljana, and we want you to be part of the conversation. **The Climate Café** is a public space designed with one purpose in mind: to bring people together. Not to lecture, not to debate winners and losers, but to create an open, safe, and inclusive environment where every voice matters. Whether you're a long-time climate activist or someone just beginning to grapple with these questions, this is your space to speak, listen, and reflect. This IV. Climate Café will be a bit different - more focused, more practical, and more action-oriented. We will: • open the discussion with mag. Mojca Vendramin (Eco Fund director) on key challenges, dillemas and future plans • co-create concrete proposals with [Mladi za podnebno pravičnost](https://www.facebook.com/mladizapodnebnopravicnost?__cft__%5B0%5D=AZaHuYs77dqbpRQaK1odCI4ZnEOTagY4DzUYOc2rPurXvTFgKCBB7lp_9sOqQdwMX-rBJj94LT7Y7-J4JiYXt9DzSGEZn1HVMvP-gXrgebABD0BmavVmkkLhPjjwKhylgYnW5iW0mji1vYX0mOcJMSxxbRZzdRmXuwFHVRAk0dAQIk7o_5syYlPZ8tn93visFkczYuf2n61IYM-lF-npXwHi&__tn__=-%5DK-R) • focus on what civil society can bring forward to decision-makers Come as you are.

**Caller: Kim Thompson** **Band: Full Moon Country Dance Orchestra** **Clinton Heights Lutheran Church** **15 Clinton Heights Ave, Columbus, OH 43202** WHAT IS CONTRA DANCING? Picture the Grand Ball scenes like you’ve seen in period films such as “Pride and Prejudice”, where the dancers are lined up in long lines, across from each other. That’s English Country Dancing, the predecessor of contra dancing. Now, add moves like “swing your partner” and “do-si-do,” like you’ve seen in square dancing. Set it to fabulous, high energy, live music with fiddles, guitars, percussion and more, alá “Riverdance.” Finally, set the whole scene down in the middle of Woodstock, with a hip, groovy atmosphere, a bit of tie-dye, and hints of counter-culture attitude. THAT’s Contra Dancing! Wear cool and comfortable clothes (you will get warm) and clean shoes that won't mark up our nice wood floor. Be sure to come for the beginner's lesson from 7:30 - 8:00, followed by dancing 8:00 - 10:30. All dances are taught; we will help you learn! Beginners always welcome, no need to bring a partner. Cost is $10.00 adults, $5.00 ages 12-26. Under 12 free. Free parking in church lot. For more information contact me or check out our website: [www.bigscioty.com](http://www.bigscioty.com/) Please bring your own refillable water bottle.

The topic for April is "Water" Speak Easy: true stories, told live. The idea is simple: an audience, an open microphone, and great stories. Hilarious, gripping, poignant- it's up to you. Audiences are invited to come to listen or come to tell as folks from all corners of Columbus offer their stories live on stage! Held at Wild Goose Creative's warm, intimate space, this night of tales occurs on the 3rd Thursday of every month. Doors open at 6:30 pm, show starts at 7:00 pm. Please arrive early if you want to tell, as we generally only have room for a limited number of tellers, and the sign-up sheet has a tendency to fill up fast. Formed around the idea that people need stories--they're what hold and draw us together--SpeakEasy celebrates the strangeness and commonness of being human. And in a world of smartphones, Facebook, Twitter, and more . . . it gives people a real, breathing, in-person way to connect. The night is geared for true stories of all kinds, taking the best tales told around kitchen tables, in darkened pubs, on the street corner, and at late-night parties and giving them an audience. Speak Easy is also a great outlet for performers, writers, and artists looking to share their favorite stories and perfect their skills. We strongly encourage tellers to please tell the story rather than read it so we keep within the spirit of good storytelling and stay engaged with the audience. All are welcome. Hang around after the show for a drink and build community!
