🎨 FREEHAND Creative Words Game Join us for a relaxed and fun creative session where imagination, collaboration, and artistic expression come together. FREEHAND is a creative community organized by Canvasians Events and Conferences, bringing together artists, designers, photographers, creative professionals, students, and anyone interested in art and creativity. During this session, we play the FREEHAND Creative Words Game. A theme or "world" is selected first, then random word cards are drawn from a prepared deck. Each participant interprets the word in their own way and creates a drawing inspired by the selected theme. In the collaborative version of the game, participants work on shared artworks. After 10 minutes, each drawing is passed to another participant, who receives a new word and continues developing the artwork. The process continues until multiple artists have contributed to the same piece. In the individual version, several random words are selected, and each participant creates a complete artwork inspired by those words and the chosen theme. There is no right or wrong interpretation. The goal is to explore creativity, discover new ideas, and enjoy the artistic process in a friendly and supportive environment. ✅ Free participation ✅ Paper, colors, and materials provided free of charge ✅ Open to all skill levels ✅ Feel free to invite friends and family ✅ No pressure, no competition, just creativity Participants are welcome to order food, coffee, or drinks from the café according to their preference. Orders are paid individually by each participant. The venue generously hosts our gathering without charging us, and FREEHAND does not charge any attendance fee for this activity. Come draw, collaborate, meet new people, and enjoy an evening of creativity.

**🏛️ WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** **Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎** **Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic.** **The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌** **📓 HOW DOES IT WORK?** **Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the** [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c)**, along with jump-off points to get the conversation going.** **General Meeting Agenda** **Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline:** * **3:30-3:45- People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start.** * **3:45-3:55 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines.** * **3:55-5:20 - Participants share their general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them.** * **5:20-5:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions, organizer then concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo.** * **5:30 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other.** **🧧PRICING?** **Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just request that that you buy a beverage or food item as our venue requires it to give us a private room.** **💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY** **🗣** **“I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam** **🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel** **🤓 FAQ** * **What will we talk about? What's the topic?** **The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our** [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c)**.** * **Do I need to study or read anything to attend?** **No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required.** * **Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on?** **The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school.** * **Is it mostly men that attend?** **Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms.** * **Can I come alone?** **Of course you can, we encourage it :)** * **Can I be late?** **Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation.** * **Where do you meet?** **The location is posted in Meetup and our** [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/CdjwVxcf2EO6vcLWUhaIdk?mode=ems_copy_c) **group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

This talk shows how you get from raw joints to a "thumbs-up" in Unity: the pipeline that cleans up the data, how a gesture becomes a few 0-to-1 values within tolerance, and why orientation matters as much as finger shape. Includes a live demo of tuning gesture thresholds.
