Rather than stand up in front of a group to do a one-off presentation. Participants will set up a table/presentation area for on-going short presentations/demonstrations in a “fair” format.

You can do something that includes the scientific method\, if you want\, but it’s not required. \nAll participants will get a prize and certificate. There will not be judges to evaluate. This is a fun way to “tell others” something that you learned. You can do individual projects/presentations or buddy up with siblings or friends for your presentations. \nBring your presentation/project and your own table/display. We will set up between 12:30-1 pm. Presentation shifts will begin at after everyone is set up. \nQuestions? Contact Kim at colacityinfo@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Family Culture Stories Share Fair
DESCRIPTION:Family Culture Stories Share Fair\nCANCELLED\nBy Cola City Homeschoolers\nWed.\, Dec. 4 from 10am-noon\nAll Ages — $5/space\nNote: This is Cola City event. Registration required–scroll down to reserve your space. \nWho are you? Where do you come from? Tell us about your family history and traditions. This is a great opportunity to learn about each other and make meaningful connections within our community. \nPresentation content: Highlight something about your family culture\, origin stories of where you’re from\, traditions that have been handed down. Create a table top display and prepare a narative about it. It can be a broader story about the culture and traditions. Or it can be a specific story about a relative or ancestor. \nPresentation format: The presenters get to tell about their project several times\, not just a one-time show-n-tell as participants meander and mingle. It’s also very relaxed style of presenting one-on-one\, rather than the formal “speech”. \nWe recommend projects that are hands-on\, interactive demonstrations or have samples\, hand-outs\, give-aways. Make it conversational for others to ask questions and comment\, not just passively listen. \nLocation: Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Columbia\, 2701 Heyward St\, Columbia\, SC 29205 (Let Grow Play Club meet-up is at Grandby Garden afterwards from 1-3pm) \nPurpose: Cola City Homeschoolers believe that education is two parts. Learning about yourself and learning how you fit into the world around you. It takes intentional efforts to do that. And learning is a lifelong journey\, sometimes relearning\, discovering something new that you never knew before\, and unlearning to change your perspectives.\nRecommended readings: Here’s a couple resources to inspire you with practical ways to foster more open dialogue on tough topics–with our stories. \n\n\n\nA Place to Belong: Celebrating Diversity and Kinship in the Home and Beyond by Amber O’neal Johnston. This is a guide for families of all backgrounds to celebrate cultural heritage and embrace inclusivity in the home and beyond. Ideal for parent/educators who want to cultivate a home library that provides mirrors to reflect your own lived experiences and windows to glimpse into differing experiences.\nStories Behind Stances: Creating Empathy Thru Hearing the Other Side by  Chris Singleton. In his mission to unite people from all different walks of life\, Chris explores various ways in which we can learn to see beyond our differences and embrace our shared values\, hopes\, and aspirations. Ideal for Adults and Teens to consider our own beliefs and biases\, to listen to those whom we disagree with\, and find common ground where we can build a better world. \nYour Life Matters by Chris Singleton. Written by national speaker Chris Singleton\, who lost his own mother in the 2015 Charleston church shooting\, Your Life Matters teaches kids to stand tall in the face of racial adversity and fight for the life they dream of.\n\n\n\n \nRegistration is Closed–Event is CANCELLED.\nCome for Play Club from 1-3pm\n
