Workshop: How to Have Climate Conversations that Spark Change

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 both help cover our annual Meetup fees and support our hosts.

Más allá del algoritmo: Filosofía ante la IA

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.

The importance of universal basic income 🌍

**PLEASE REGISTER [HERE](https://www.meetup.com/backstory-english-bookshop-events/events/316854061/?utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=share-btn_savedevents_share_modal&utm_source=link&utm_version=v2&member_id=416007314) VIA BACKSTORY!** **What to expect🌍💚** ​ ​Join Prof. David Casassas and author Julie Wark at Backstory for a lively discussion on why universal basic income could be the answer to today‘s global challenges. ​Access to universal basic income is thought by some experts to help resolve many of today's global issues: from poverty, to crime, to human rights violations and even the climate crisis. This talk will delve deep into the topic and explore why universal basic income could be a mechanism for guaranteeing basic freedoms in an era of growing inequalities and injustices. ​**David** is an associate professor at the University of Barcelona, where he teaches social and political theory. He was Secretary of the Basic Income Earth Network (BIEN) and is now a member of its International Advisory Board. He is the author of *Unconditional Freedom: Universal Basic Income and Social Power.* [Buy the book here!](https://backstorybookshop.shop/product/unconditional-freedom/?utm_source=luma) ​ **Julie** is the author of *The Human Rights Manifesto*, co-author of *Indonesia: Law, Propaganda, and Terror, and Against Charity*, and the European correspondent for [CounterPunch](https://www.counterpunch.org/author/julie-wark/?utm_source=luma). ​ 🗣️ This event will be held in **English**. **About this community 📣💚** ​**For rights, against wrongs.** We clamour for universal human and environmental rights — and a peaceful, sustainable future for all! ​CLAMOUR is a growing community of people who feel that the current system isn’t working and who want to imagine, discuss, and build something better together. ​In a world shaped by rising fascism, climate collapse, and growing inequality, many of us feel overwhelmed or powerless. CLAMOUR exists to create space for something different. A space to come together, to learn, listen, share, reflect and organise. We believe that change starts from the roots and that community itself is a form of resistance. ✊ ​ Our community spans generations and backgrounds. Our youngest member is 18, our oldest is 93. We come from many nationalities and cultures, and from a wide range of professional paths including students, journalists, teachers, architects, activists, entrepreneurs, and retirees. This diversity is at the heart of CLAMOUR. We welcome anyone who feels concerned, curious, exhausted, hopeful or simply wants to connect with others who care about a more just and sustainable future. You don’t need to have answers. You just need to show up as you are. ​ Join us in making noise. **📣** **Join us in creating CLAMOUR! ☮️**💚 ​ Subscribe to our [Luma calendar](https://luma.com/clamour) to stay up to date on all events.

Circle Song: Improvised Body Music

**Invitation** **We are the instruments.** A participatory, improvised, embodied practice that reconnects us to one another through rhythm, voice, and play. This is a guided yet fully improvised experience, using the facilitation tools and methods of [Musica do Circulo](https://www.musicadocirculo.com/en). No prior experience is required, only an openness to connect with other humans in your own fun, light and authentic way. Circle songs are an invitation into a fully immersive, fully improvised musical experience using vocals, body percussion and movement. It draws inspiration from musical embodied rhythm practices from around the world, including call-and-response singing, rhythmic clapping games and circle song traditions. *"We are doing something that is so human and so needed, something that we've forgotten." - Igor, circle participant May 2025* Simply by standing in a circle and connecting with our bodies as our instruments, we are reminded that we can find joy and meaning right here in this present moment, and in the next. **This event is donation-based.
