SUMMARY:Giving Tuesday - The Younique Foundation
DESCRIPTION:The Younique Foundation is an incredible organization whose resources seek to liberate individuals from the impacts of child sexual abuse. \nDue to generous donations from the founders and other donors\, 100% of contribution goes to programs and services. \nLearn more about the Younique Foundation’s 2021 Giving Tuesday campaign here >> https://support.youniquefoundation.org/campaign/giving-tuesday/c363862 \nWhat Is Giving Tuesday?   \nGiving Tuesday is an annual global day of charitable giving. It is the first Tuesday after Thanksgiving each year and kicks off the holiday season. Giving Tuesday sets the tone of kindness\, caring\, and generosity that is quintessential to that time of year. \nWhy support The Younique Foundation on Giving Tuesday?  \nThe Younique Foundation’s services are crucial to liberating society from the epidemic of child sexual abuse. \n\n1 in 5 children in the United States are sexually abused each year. After the abuse\, millions of them will go on to live with trauma symptoms related to the abuse\, some of which endure for decades. Many will experience mental health challenges\, including anxiety\, painful addictions\, and suicidality.\nThe Younique Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity that is committed to eradicating child sexual abuse and the traumatic toll it takes on survivors. Their work seeks to stop cycles of abuse by providing healing services for survivors\, prevention resources for parents\, and advocacy tools that help create change across communities.\n\nThe Younique Foundation’s goal is to raise $100\,000 for the fight against child sexual abuse this year\, and Giving Tuesday (November 30\, 2021) is the most important day of the year for non-profit fundraising. Please join in helping the Younique Foundation reach their goal.

SUMMARY:Climate Crisis & Contemporary Culture: Anthropocene Theatre
DESCRIPTION:Contemporary Theatre straight from Paris by way of Berlin! \nJoin the Alliance Française and the Goethe-Zentrum in a powerful\, three-part event featuring live theatrical performances by Parisian theatre director and performer Duncan Evennou. \n“Matters” and “Moving Earths” address the question of the Anthropocene – a term used to refer to the geological era in which we live\, where questions of climate\, ecology and geology have come to be defined by the presence and activities of human beings.\n\nDuncan Evennou is a contemporary performer and director specializing in experimental\, multi-media theatre. His performance “Matters” is based on work at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin.\n\nJoin the Goethe-Zentrum and Alliance Française at the Georgia Tech campus for this exciting final event of their year-long series on Climate Crisis and Contemporary Cultures\, in cooperation with the German Consulate General and the Cultural Services of the French Embassy.\n\nFull event line-up information here and below.\n\n\nThursday\, Dec. 2\, 2021\, 11 am – 12:30 pm\, Debate\, Discussion and Round Table with Duncan Evennou\, Frédérique Aït Touati\, Clemence Hallé\, Auditorium 152 Kendeda Building.\nThe event will be held both in person in the Kendeda Building Auditorium 152 and virtually on BlueJeans. The conversation will be moderated by Dr. Andrea Jonsson\, Assistant Professor of French at the School of Modern Languages at the Georgia Institute of Technology. It is free for all to attend. \nWorking with the French philosopher and sociologist Bruno Latour\, the theater companies Zone critique (Frédérique Aït-Touati) and Lighthouse Compagny (Duncan Evennou) explore in a unique way the most urgent ecological and climatic issues. Between philosophy and theatre\, stage and science\, Zone critique and Lighthouse company productions claim the mix of genres: “we think it is well suited to the current period\, in which changes in ideas about the world are accompanied by a change in representations of this world. It is this aesthetics of science on the stage that we have been pursuing together for more than ten years” (Frédéric Aït-Touati & Bruno Latour). \nThursday\, Dec. 2\, 7:00 pm “Matters” Performance\, DramaTech Theatre (Duncan Evennou and Clémence Hallé)\nTickets: https://artsgatech.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=2052\nTrailer: https://vimeo.com/274043345 \nMatters is a solo that\, in a polyphonic assemblage\, gives shape and body to the archives of the Anthropocene Working Group’s inaugural meeting\, scheduled Friday\, October 17\, 2014 at 9:00 am on the stage of the House of World Cultures\, a contemporary performance institution located in Berlin. The geological hypothesis\, increasingly noisy in the art world\, inscribes the consequences of human impacts on their environments into the depths of earth time. Click here to view the trailer. \nWith Matters\, actor Duncan Evennou situates and then transforms the historical\, scientific and political voices of the members of the group\, playing with their words in all their sensitivity\, and moving from their narratives to their hesitations\, their silences or their derision\, plays with the frictions of thought when the sciences climb on the theater stage. Between the interstices of an increasingly disturbed performance appear the cracks of a dominant political discourse on the end of the world\, powerless in the face of the representations of long and inhuman time that the geologists invite to imagine. Yet it is only the end of a world. Can we hear others emerging from the hubbub of knowledge blurred by the urgency to act? \nFriday\, Dec. 3\, 7:00 pm “Moving Earths” Performance\, DramaTech Theatre (Duncan Evennou)\nTickets: https://artsgatech.universitytickets.com/w/event.aspx?id=2053 \nWhere to land? \nWhereas in 1610 we had to absorb the shock that “the earth moves”\, following Galileo’s discovery\, in 2021 we have to accept the much more surprising shock that the earth trembles and reacts to human actions to the point of disrupting all our development projects. \nWe invite the audience to test the hypothesis of a parallel between the era of the astronomical revolution and ours. Are we experiencing a world transformation as profound and radical as that of Galileo’s time? One thing is certain: we no longer know exactly what planet we live on\, nor how to describe it. It is not a single\, fixed and stable Earth\, but a multitude of planets that lie before us\, and which we must explore to find out which one to land on. \nBetween philosophy and theatre\, this production is a mix of genres: we think it is well suited to the current period\, in which changes in ideas about the world are accompanied by changes in representations of that world. It is this aesthetics of science on the stage that we have been pursuing together for more than ten years. \nClick here for more information on the events and speakers. \nThis event is part of the Franco-German series “Climate Crisis & Contemporary Culture” which seeks to explore the diverse means by which we communicate on our current climate crisis while exchanging experiences and art. It is designed by the Alliance Francaise d’Atlanta\, the Goethe-Zentrum Atlanta\, the Villa Albertine in Atlanta\, and the School of Modern Languages of Georgia Tech\, with the support of the Cultural Services of the Embassy of France in the US\, the Consulate of the Federal Republic of Germany in Atlanta\, the Franco-German Cultural Fund\, and DramaTech

SUMMARY:Emory Climate Talks feat. the Honorable Mia Amor Mottley\, Prime Minister of Barbados
DESCRIPTION:Emory Climate Talks feat. the Honorable Mia Amor Mottley\, Prime Minister of Barbados\nEmory Climate Talks and the Latin American and Caribbean Studies program at Emory University are honored to welcome the Prime Minister of Barbados\, Mia Mottley\, on December 2nd at 4:00 p.m. (EST) for the final conversation in the Emory Climate Talks 2021 series. \n \nPrime Minister Mottley has emerged as the most vocal and most determined advocate for urgent action with regards to climate change among political leaders of the Global South. Her recent speech at the Glasgow COP26 event galvanized the international community as Prime Minister Mottley laid down concrete proposals for immediate international intervention. Prime Minister Mottley’s pathbreaking role as a climate change activist is emblematic of her entire career\, capped by election as the island’s first female political leader in 2019. \nLater this month\, the Mottley government will mark a symbolic break with Barbados’ colonial past by proclaiming the island a republic\, ending the role of Britain’s Queen Elizabeth as Head of State. Prime Minister Mottley’s willingness to engage with the Emory campus via Emory Climate Talks\, the student-centered initiative\, is certain to enhance opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students to become the agents of change in the climate change movement. \nPlease visit the registration link to join the conversation on December 2nd at 4:00 p.m. (EST).
