June 24: DC EcoWomen Community Conversations

Inspired by the Human Library Project in Denmark, join us for a speed networking event where you can share your expertise and learn from others about their expertise. Whether it’s environmental issues, hobbies or other topics you are passionate about, you will have a chance to share, learn and network with others in the community. For example, you are a solar energy expert and love gardening. You can list up to 3 topics on your nametag that people can talk to you about. Each person will talk for 5 minutes about one of their topics and then rotate to another person. Imagine all the different topics you will be able to learn about and share with others! Space is limited, so please sign up only if you know for sure you can make it.

Date: Wed., June 24
Time: 6-7:30 pm
Location: Teaism Penn Quarter, 800 4th St. NW
