Details: Would you like to know about The Humor Enabled Conversation?

Then come and listen to Pablo Suarez talk about how humor can make it possible to talk about difficult topics and what we normally would not talk about and how humor make everybody in the room engaged. We will watch a selected part of his session: “Harnessing Humor for Humanitarian Work" - from the 2019 AIN Conference at Stony Brook University, NY.

Watch this talk along with new and seasoned applied improvisers from around the globe. After the talk share thoughts and celebrate insights!

This event is a part of the AINx Watch Partys, where we watch an AINxTalk from one of the prior conferences, together. We do this to CONNECT, LEARN and LAUGH through inspiring mindful appreciative conversations with Applied Improvisation experts from around the globe.

These events are scheduled to 1hour and after that we often keep the Zoom room open for ½ an hour for an informal afterglow.

You do not have to have any pre-knowledge of Applied Improvisation - just a sound curiosity to be inspired and the urge to share your opinions and observations.
