Playing with Children in Mexico is the title of our Pecha Kucha program to be presented November 9 from 7 to 9 PM at the Riverview Cafe in downtown Brattleboro, Vermont. The event is free and open to the public.
What is Pecha Kucha? (It is pronounced pe-chá ku-chá.) Good question. A friend recently explained that it is like adult show-and-tell and then recruited us to participate. There will be ten presentations each consisting of twenty slides shown for twenty seconds each for a total of just over six and a half minutes. It's a chance to see and hear a little bit about a lot of topics, expand your mind, meet folks with similar and dissimilar interests.
Why is it called Pecha Kucha? The words mean “chit-chat” in Japanese. This entertaining art form was developed in Japan to pick up the pace of professional presentations. Six minutes of something boring is bearable. Six minutes of something inspiring can motivate you to make contact with folks who can help you learn more. It is now a social fad that has spread around the world - all the way to southern Vermont.
So, we invite you to come be inspired about our work as cultural ambassadors with the children of rural Mexico. If you live too far from Brattleboro to attend you can contact us here for more information.
