TEDx “Changing the Way We Eat” viewing party
Saturday February 12, 10am – 6pm at Wister Center of Swarthmore College
You are invited to attend a viewing party for a TEDx event in New York this coming Saturday, February 12, titled “Changing the Way We Eat.” The event is a webcast with a broad array of speakers on all aspects of food sustainability. The local viewing party will take place in the new Wister Center of Swarthmore College from 10:30 a.m. to about 6 p.m. There will be breaks for lunch and an afternoon “tea” and opportunities to discuss with other attendees the topics raised by the speakers.
The viewing party is sponsored by the brand-new Swarthmore Food Sustainability Group. A potluck lunch and snacks will be served, and you are encouraged (but not required) to bring a dish. Some drinks will also be provided. If you cannot stay for the whole event, feel free to stop by for part of the program.
