Networking with Plants & The Plant Initiative - Community Building Event
This free online networking and community-building event by The Plant Initiative, will provide an opportunity for those interested in exploring new and existing ways of being with plants that are respectful of both humans and plants. After a brief welcome and introduction, attendees will be introduced for several minutes to the new free Hylo networking tool with a special interactive web site set up for those interested in the human-plant connection - a space for sharing active research, collaborations, art, and any forms of humans and plant relations. This page will be active after the event as well, allowing for future collaboration and community building.
Following the intro to the Hylo plant networking site, the live interactive networking will begin. Attendees will be randomly sorted into a series of Zoom breakout rooms consisting of three participants each, which will each last for 13 minutes. This will provide you with an opportunity to get to know more people and to talk about your connections with plants. We will provide suggested discussion questions to help guide the small group conversations. After 13 minutes, participants will be randomly assigned to another breakout room to allow you to meet additional people. There will be three sequential 13-minute breakout sessions in the program, each including three participants, allowing each participant to meet as many as 6 people with common interests. There will be a final brief wrap up as a large group.
Time: 18:00 GMT
