[17-meetings] Fwd: [unciv] tactical media / concrete mutual help: techies, journalists, rebbels

[Karla Wagner]

Hi folks,

Thank you for the last meeting.  Finding my footing in a new city and country, falling on my face and getting up again... I'm here to learn.  It was a pleasure and a privilege to meet you lot, and I'm looking forward to getting to know you more, and finding ways to cooperate.

Got a warm reception from a recent draft talk on Role Models for Diversity & Inclusion, and have a bunch more speaking engagements booked for later this year. Musical composing is probably not on the table for 2022, unless I'm offered a contract.  Speaking of contracts, I'm still unemployed. Freelancing with my voice training; 2 students so far. I could be discouraged from all the bias I encounter, but it's all grist for the mill... how to be aware and mindful of bias and educate others.

Wished to share with you a programme that I'm planning to attend this coming monday on:

Alarming news, ecological issues, and self-care 14.3.2022
https://elomake.helsinki.fi/lomakkeet/116568/lomake.html

Registration Deadline Monday 14th at 12.00 Helsinki time (10 AM UK time)

Description
Bad news is everywhere: wars, natural disasters, ecological crises. How can one practice responsibility while maintaining health, motivation, and functioning?

In this webinar, experts from several disciplines discuss the need for self-care and social support especially in relation to ecological issues. The general topic is very relevant also in relation to the war in Ukraine and general ways to cope with bad news. The webinar continues the interchange between Elin Kelsey, Ph.D., and Finnish researchers and professionals. The event is organized by ILVIES, an environmental communication organization in Finland (see this link for further details), and related to Kelsey's Lauttasaari Residency funded by the Kone Foundation.
