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

DESCRIPTION:Owl Prowl\nby Congaree National Park\nFriday\, Dec 20th @4pm\nFREE — All Ages\nNote: This is NOT a Cola City event \nHave you ever heard an owl calling in the dead of night and been curious? How do they hunt? How do they see? Why do people associate them with wisdom? Join park staff for an evening hike to answer these questions and more! \nOwls are mysterious creatures to many\, as we do not often see them\, and only hear them calling at night outside of our homes. This 1.5 hour guided hike along the Boardwalk and Sims trail. We will talk about the unique adaptations owls have made that allow them to be such capable hunters\, and how they use their senses to survive and thrive in the dark. We will keep our eyes and ears open and hopefully catch a glimpse or hear one of the many owls that call Congaree National Park home\, as well as possibly other nocturnal creatures that might be out in the dark as well. \nWhat to know: \n-We will be meeting at the Harry Hampton Visitor Center. \n-Pets are not permitted on this walk. Service animals are welcome. \n– Visitors may bring a flashlight as this program will take place after dark. Flashlights should have a red mode\, or the light should be covered with red cellophane in order to preserve visitors and wildlife’s night vision. If you do not have a red mode\, the park will be providing red cellophane. \n-Please wear comfortable shoes as we will be walking approximately 2.5 miles. Please bring water and wear weather appropriate clothing. \n– Event could be canceled due to inclement weather. \nGet your FREE TICKETS HERE! \n
