Meeting tradicional do English Brazil para a prática do inglês em encontros presenciais. Esse é um meeting que já é tradicional. Nos reunimos sempre em um local público para praticar conversação em inglês, e ficamos do lado de uma cafeteria para que você possa comprar o seu café enquanto conversa com a gente. O objetivo é criar um ambiente descontraído e amigável para que todos possam praticar o inglês sem pressão. Não importa se você é iniciante ou avançado, todos são bem-vindos! Não é necessário confirmar presença, e o valor é de graça, também não cobramos nada para participar. Apenas apareça, mostre interesse, e alguém irá te convidar para puxar uma cadeira para perto da mesa para praticarmos. Tradicionalmente nos reunimos sempre às sextas-feiras, dentro do Shopping Center 3 (ao lado da estação Consolação do metrô), no térreo, em frente à cafeteria Havanna Café. Sempre das 20h00 às 22h00, quando o shopping fecha. Então, se quiser praticar a conversação em inglês em um ambiente amigável e sem precisar estabelecer nenhum compromisso, este é o local certo! \-\-\- And foreigners are also welcome! We Brazilians always have a very healthy curiosity to learn about your ideas, your experiences, and the differences in customs and languages. We are also, by nature, very willing to help foreigners feel more at ease here in Brazil. It's also a great opportunity to network and meet locals who can make you feel at home. We always meet on Fridays, inside Shopping Center 3 (next to Consolação subway station), on the ground floor, in front of the Havanna Café. Always from 8:00 PM to 10:00 PM, when the mall closes.

Cinemateca Brasileira Entre os dias 4 e 15 de março de 2026, a Cinemateca Brasileira, a Embaixada da Espanha no Brasil e o Instituto Cervantes apresentam a RETROSPECTIVA PEDRO ALMODÓVAR, reunindo cerca de 20 filmes do diretor espanhol que atravessam mais de quatro décadas de uma das filmografias mais marcantes do cinema contemporâneo. Sua irreverência, uso expressivo das cores, citações da cultura popular e narrativas complexas redefiniram o melodrama, criaram uma variedade de comédia e construíram personagens femininas tão singulares que cunharam o termo “almodovarianas”. A programação é gratuita e os ingressos são distribuídos uma hora antes de cada sessão. Programação: 14/03 às 17h30 - Filme Kika - Sala Grande Otelo 14/03 às 20h - Filme A Flor do Meu Segredo - Sala Grande Otelo Obs.: O host estará no local por volta das 16h30.

-Multilingual Open Discussion on the Future of Artificial Intelligence -especially talk about AGI risk -CCSP cafe ### Open Multilingual Discussion on the Future of AI Artificial Intelligence is advancing rapidly. Many experts believe **Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)** — AI that could outperform humans in most intellectual tasks — may emerge within decades, or possibly sooner. This raises important questions: * Could AGI bring major scientific progress and prosperity? * What risks might arise if powerful AI systems are not aligned with human values? * How should society prepare for such transformative technologies? Researchers and organizations such as the Future of Life Institute and the Machine Intelligence Research Institute study these issues under the fields of **AGI risk** and **AI alignment**. Yet these discussions often remain limited to experts. This event aims to **open the conversation to everyone**. *** ## Event Concept **AGI Risk São Paulo** is an informal in-person gathering where people from different backgrounds discuss the future of AI. You do **not** need to be an expert. Participants may include: * Engineers and researchers * Entrepreneurs and students * Artists and philosophers * Curious beginners * Anyone interested in the future of humanity and technology The goal is **dialogue**, not lectures. *** ## Multilingual Discussion To reflect São Paulo’s diversity, discussion may take place in multiple languages: * Portuguese * English * Japanese * Spanish Participants are encouraged to switch languages freely. *** ## Possible Topics * What is AGI and how close are we? * AI safety and alignment * The long-term future of humanity * Governance and regulation of AI * Economic and social impacts of advanced AI No prior knowledge is required — **curiosity is enough**. *** **Location:** São Paulo **Format:** Informal in-person discussion **Languages:** Multilingual **Level:** Beginner friendly If you are curious about the future of AI, **join the conversation.** *** ### Discussão Aberta Multilíngue sobre o Futuro da IA A Inteligência Artificial está avançando rapidamente. Muitos especialistas acreditam que a **AGI (Artificial General Intelligence)** — uma IA capaz de superar humanos na maioria das tarefas intelectuais — pode surgir nas próximas décadas, ou até antes. Isso levanta questões importantes: * A AGI poderá trazer grande progresso científico e prosperidade? * Que riscos podem surgir se sistemas de IA muito poderosos não estiverem alinhados com valores humanos? * Como a sociedade deve se preparar para tecnologias tão transformadoras? Pesquisadores e organizações como a Future of Life Institute e a Machine Intelligence Research Institute estudam essas questões nos campos de **AGI risk** e **alinhamento de IA**. No entanto, essas discussões muitas vezes ficam restritas a especialistas. Este evento quer **abrir essa conversa para todos**. *** ## Conceito do Evento **AGI Risk São Paulo** é um encontro presencial e informal para discutir o futuro da IA. **Não é necessário ser especialista.** São bem-vindos: * Engenheiros e pesquisadores * Empreendedores e estudantes * Artistas e filósofos * Iniciantes curiosos * Qualquer pessoa interessada no futuro da humanidade e da tecnologia O objetivo é **diálogo**, não palestras. *** ## Discussão Multilíngue Para refletir a diversidade de São Paulo, a conversa pode acontecer em vários idiomas: * Português * Inglês * Japonês * Espanhol Os participantes podem alternar idiomas livremente. *** ## Possíveis Temas * O que é AGI e quão perto estamos dela? * Segurança e alinhamento da IA * O futuro de longo prazo da humanidade * Governança e regulação da IA * Impactos econômicos e sociais da IA Não é necessário conhecimento prévio — **basta curiosidade**. *** **Local:** São Paulo **Formato:** Encontro presencial informal **Idiomas:** Multilíngue **Nível:** Aberto para iniciantes Se você tem curiosidade sobre o futuro da IA, **venha participar da conversa.** contact Hiro [https://wa.me/5511982562567](https://wa.me/5511982562567) ( [https://AGI-risk.org](https://AGI-risk.org) ) [mtzhiro@gmail.com](maitlto:mtzhiro@gmail.com)

Free at Bexley Library Adventures in Ecological Horticulture with Rebecca McMackin Wednesday, March 18 1:00pm - 2:30pm Gone are the days when a garden could be ornamental alone. We now recognize the impact that our land care practices have on the ecosystems around us, and can see the importance of encouraging biodiversity. Thankfully, we do not need to sacrifice beauty when we invite butterflies and songbirds into our gardens. Rebecca McMackin has cultivated gorgeous landscapes in the toughest environments possible: urban parks, school playgrounds, and the sidewalks of New York City. She will take lessons from her work at Brooklyn Bridge Park, the Brooklyn Museum, and decades of research to share how those of us who are fortunate enough to care for land, can do it beautifully and ecologically. Rebecca McMackin is an ecologically obsessed horticulturist and garden designer. She writes, lectures, and teaches on ecological landscape management and pollination ecology, as well as designs the rare public garden. She is currently Lead Horticulturist for the American Horticultural Society, an Associate with the Harvard Divinity School’s Thinking with Plants and Fungi Initiative, and Consulting Arboretum Curator for Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx, NY. Rebecca spent a decade as Director of Horticulture of Brooklyn Bridge Park, where she managed 85 acres of diverse parkland organically. Their research into cultivating urban biodiversity and ethical management strategies has influenced thousands of people and entire urban parks systems to adopt similar approaches. She has been published by and featured in the New York Times, Gardens Illustrated, on NPR and PBS. Her garden for the Brooklyn Museum recently won the PPA’s Award of Excellence and her TED Talk has been viewed over a million times. She holds M.Sc. from Columbia University and University of Victoria in landscape design and biology and recently completed the Loeb Fellowship at the Harvard Graduate School of Design. This program is presented in partnership with Rooted in Bexley and generously funded by the Bexley Community Foundation and Bexley Community Author Series Fund.

**The Listening Room — First Gathering** So much of life happens in loud spaces and quick conversations that never quite go beneath the surface. The Listening Room is meant to be the opposite of that — a quieter space where people can slow down, talk honestly, and actually listen to one another. For this first gathering, we’ll meet in a small group and explore a simple conversation prompt together. The goal isn’t debate or performance — just thoughtful conversation and the chance to connect with others in a genuine way. Our prompt for this gathering will be: **When have you felt truly seen or understood by another person?** Everyone will have the opportunity to share if they’d like, but there’s absolutely no pressure — listening is just as valuable as speaking here. We’re keeping the group intentionally small so the conversation can feel relaxed and natural. Looking forward to meeting you. — Benny
