**Reforestation project in Brazil** Come to join us for a **presentation and discussion** about the **reforestation and protection of one of the world's most threatened biodiversity** **hotspots** \- the Atlantic Forest in Brazil\. “Tito Garcez is a **Brazilian conservationist** and the **founder of Instituto Santuário da Mata**, a non-profit organization focused on **protecting and restoring the Atlantic Forest in northeastern Brazil**. Originally trained in tourism, Garcez pivoted toward environmentalism after living in Patagonia, Argentina, where he realized the importance of living harmoniously with nature. Upon returning home, he witnessed the severe disappearance of local forests and wildlife, which inspired him to **launch long-term initiatives centered on biodiversity conservation**, **ecological restoration** and **environmental education**. Today, he successfully blends his background by **promoting wildlife watching** and **nature-based tourism** to foster an **appreciation for the environment** while **financially and socially supporting conservation efforts**. Through his institute, Garcez **actively collaborates with local communities**, **universities, researchers, and volunteers to protect threatened species and restore vital forest habitats**. He strongly emphasizes building bridges between grassroots communities and global environmental organizations. His current visit to Europe stems from relationships built with international volunteers and researchers, and he aims to use this trip to strengthen global partnerships, secure **expanded support for his conservation projects, encourage scientific research, and foster new international collaborations**. The **Instituto Santuário da Mata** operates in **Sergipe, Brazil**, managing a private **nature reserve recognized by UNESCO** as part of the **Atlantic Forest Biosphere Reserve**. The organization targets the protection of critical, highly threatened biodiversity hotspots by combining ecological restoration with deep community engagement. Its primary initiatives include monitoring endangered wildlife, such as the Coimbra Filho's titi monkey and the maned sloth, reforesting degraded areas, creating wildlife corridors, and hosting international volunteers and educational programs. Ultimately, the institute seeks to build bridges with European universities and organizations to exchange conservation strategies, foster scientific research, and share the unique cultural richness of northeastern Brazil. **We will discuss:** \- ecological restauration and the creation of ecological corridors to reconnect fragmented forest areas \- protection and monitoring of endangered species \- wild life observation tourism as a tool for conservation and sustainable local development \- community\-based conservation experiences \- exchange of experiences between conservation initiatives in Brazil and Europe **VIDEO:** [The Forest Is Returning | Restoring Brazil’s Atlantic Forest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OosHkD59q5E) **Santuario Da Mata**: www.santuariodamata.org **IG:** @santuariodamata **Proyecto de reforestación en Brasil** Te invitamos a unirte a nosotros en una **presentación y debate** sobre la **reforestación y la protección de uno de los puntos calientes de biodiversidad más amenazados del mundo**: la Selva Atlántica de Brasil. «Tito Garcez es un **conservacionista brasileño** y **fundador del Instituto Santuário da Mata**, una organización sin ánimo de lucro dedicada a la **protección y restauración de la Selva Atlántica en el noreste de Brasil**. Formado inicialmente en turismo, Garcez dio un giro hacia el ecologismo tras vivir en la Patagonia argentina, donde se dio cuenta de la importancia de vivir en armonía con la naturaleza. Al regresar a su país, fue testigo de la grave desaparición de los bosques y la fauna locales, lo que le inspiró a poner en marcha **iniciativas a largo plazo centradas en la conservación de la biodiversidad, la restauración ecológica y la educación medioambiental**. Hoy en día, combina con éxito su experiencia promoviendo el avistamiento de fauna y **el turismo basado en la naturaleza** para **fomentar el aprecio por el medio ambiente,** al tiempo que **apoya económica y socialmente los esfuerzos de conservación**. A través de su instituto, Garcez **colabora activamente con comunidades locales, universidades, investigadores y voluntarios para proteger especies amenazadas y restaurar hábitats forestales vitales**. Hace especial hincapié en tender puentes entre las comunidades de base y las organizaciones medioambientales globales. Su actual visita a Europa **surge de las relaciones establecidas con voluntarios** e **investigadores internacionales**, y pretende aprovechar este viaje para **fortalecer la colaboración global**. El **Instituto Santuário da Mata** opera en **Sergipe (Brasil)** y gestiona una **reserva natural privada reconocida por la UNESCO** como parte de la Reserva de la Biosfera de la Selva Atlántica. La organización tiene como objetivo la protección de puntos críticos de biodiversidad altamente amenazados, combinando la restauración ecológica con una profunda implicación de la comunidad. Entre sus principales iniciativas se incluyen el seguimiento de especies silvestres en peligro de extinción, como el tití de Coimbra Filho y el perezoso de crin, la reforestación de áreas degradadas, la creación de corredores ecológicos y la acogida de voluntarios internacionales y programas educativos. En última instancia, el instituto busca tender puentes con universidades y organizaciones europeas para intercambiar estrategias de conservación, fomentar la investigación científica y compartir la riqueza cultural única del noreste de Brasil. **Hablaremos de:** \- la restauración ecológica y la creación de corredores ecológicos para reconectar áreas forestales fragmentadas \- la protección y el seguimiento de especies en peligro de extinción \- el turismo de observación de la vida silvestre como herramienta para la conservación y el desarrollo local sostenible \- experiencias de conservación basadas en la comunidad \- el intercambio de experiencias entre iniciativas de conservación en Brasil y Europa **VIDEO:** [The Forest Is Returning | Restoring Brazil’s Atlantic Forest](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OosHkD59q5E) **Santuario Da Mata**: www.santuariodamata.org **IG:** @santuariodamata **ESP About Culture Jam by Apocapoc BCN** *Creemos firmemente que para ser eficientes y saludables en el manejo de la actual crisis ambiental y social, necesitamos equiparnos con herramientas y conocimientos que nos ayuden a empoderarnos y cultivar nuestra "esperanza activa".

**🏛️ 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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 6-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:30-19:45 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the official start. * 19:45-19:55 - 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. * 19:55-21:15 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and 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. * 21:15-21:30 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:30 - 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! At the Barcelona group, we often meet in a friends house. In this case, we ask that everyone bring a snack or a drink to share! **💛 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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z). * **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/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group! If you want to know what other cities have a Practical Philosophy Club, you can see our chapters on our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/). **PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY CLUB - Philosophy, everywhere. ✨** We started in Practical Philosophy back in 2021 and there are now 20+ chapters in over 15 countries, including Canada, Spain, Japan, Mexico and many more! 🗺️ **\*\*\*** **Join our [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LAtygOTKzmf1SnQKzJl68Z) 👈** **Follow us on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/practicalphilosophyclub/) 👈** **Our [website](https://www.practicalphilosophy.club/) 👈**

**Tips and practical aspects to become a 100× developer with Dark Factory and Compound Engineering** A one-hour session on the Pier07 terrace — practical tips on Dark Factory and Compound Engineering, the evening before the full workshop. **What this session is** We are planning a focused, hands-on Schwartz edition for a small group. Before we lock the format, we need to know who is interested — please spread the word within your team and tell us if you would like to join. Practical tips on becoming a 100× developer with agentic workflows Dark Factory and Compound Engineering — what works in real teams Dark Factory & Compound Engineering Two ideas behind this session — in plain terms. **Dark Factory** Agents run the software lifecycle behind deterministic gates — specs, builds, tests, and review loops — while you steer intent, rules, and verification instead of every line of code. **Compound Engineering** Each cycle makes the next one easier: you capture learnings in instruction files, evaluators, and gates so the system gets measurably smarter — not more chaotic — every time agents run. **more details at:** [https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona ](https://easyspecs.ai/labs/dark-factory-terrace-session-barcelona )

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
