In crypto things can go wrong- we celebrate this with the Crypto Fuckup Night! [Fuckup Nights](https://www.fn.mt/ ) is a global movement and event series that shares the stories of professional failure we usually try to hide. We’re stripping away the ego and inviting brave individuals to get on stage and admit: "I messed up, and here’s what happened next." Our goal is to help create an environment where everyone can openly share their failures, so that people can free themselves of the stigma and norms holding them back. We keep it simple, punchy, and surprisingly fun. No boring keynote speeches or 50-slide decks here. We've got 3 of our best crypto startup founders in Malta, ready to share their darkest moments on their startup journey, and what they learnt as a result. Raw. Brutal. True. This is what Fuckup Nights is all about - celebrating failures like it's 1999.

River Out of Eden by Richard Dawkins River Out of Eden: A Darwinian View of Life is a 1995 popular science book by Richard Dawkins. The book is about Darwinian evolution and summarizes the topics covered in his earlier books, The Selfish Gene, The Extended Phenotype and The Blind Watchmaker. It is part of the Science Masters series and is Dawkins's shortest book. It is illustrated by Lalla Ward, Dawkins's then-wife. The book's name is derived from Genesis 2:10 relating to the Garden of Eden. The King James Version reads "And a river went out of Eden to water the garden; and from thence it was parted, and became into four heads."

Date and time: Sunday, 17th May @ 7:30pm Place: Spazju Kreattiv Cinema, Valletta Join us for another movie outing for "Zejtune". The movie is in Maltese with English subtitles. **When Mar’s estranged mother passes away, she sees her way out of Malta by selling off her inheritance: three pieces of farmland in the countryside.** On her journey to claim her land, she meets Nenu, a spirited 80-year-old singer whose vibrant folk music pulls her into the colourful traditions of the island she’s been so eager to escape. An unexpected connection between past and present grows as Mar slowly warms to the homeland she wanted to turn her back on. Featuring real Maltese folk artists and set against Malta’s stunning landscapes, ŻEJTUNE is a heartfelt ode to the power of music and the surprising places we find belonging. We can go for a drink after. Everyone buys his own ticket from here: https://ticketenginex.kreattivita.org/?eventname=Zejtune
