Generic fundraising advice rarely works if you don’t fit a specific founder profile. That is especially true in today’s market.
​​Advice like “running a tight process”, “warming up your network”, “creating FOMO”, etc. is basically a catch-22 (Ex: how do you create FOMO when there is zero interest to begin with?). This kind of advice is irrelevant and not helpful to many founders.
​​Join QEDC and FirstGen for an evening conversation with early stage VCs, who are also firstgen, as we discuss what investors need to see to have the conviction to invest and real examples of how founders got an investment from them.
​​Agenda for the event:
​​6 – 6:40pm: Registration and mingling
​​6:40 – 6:50pm: Welcome & intro to panelists
​​6:50 – 7:30pm: Facilitated conversation
​​7:30 – 7:50pm: Open Q&A

Unlocking Creativity: Theatre Games Workshop
2023-11-04 09:00 - 11:45
Theatre games are not only wonderful games where kids can play endlessly, have tons of fun, and fill a room with heartwarming giggles and laughter. They are extraordinary tools to empower children to be empathic humans, problem solvers, and excellent communicators.
In this Theatre Games Workshop, we aim to harness the power of play and creativity to nurture your child’s development in a supportive and enjoyable environment. The art of theatre will engage your child’s imagination, amplify their voice and individuality, encourage them to express their thoughts and feelings fully and foster a deeper appreciation for the art of storytelling.
Workshop Highlights
Team Building: Forge connections with fellow children through collaborative games that emphasize teamwork and communication. Strengthen your child’s ability to work cohesively with others and the importance of working together to achieve common goals.
Emotional Intelligence: Develop a deeper understanding of emotions, both your child’s and those of others, through game exploration and empathy-building games. Enhance your child’s ability to connect with people on a more profound level.
Confidence & Bravery: Grasp the feeling and consciousness of their own power and capabilities through the spirit of play. By embracing the challenges theatre games present, your child will become an adept risk-taker.
Amplification of Voice and Individuality: Discover the love of their unique voice and perspective. Theatre games inherently celebrate individuality and therefore are a gateway for your child to release their personality confidently. In addition to supporting the voice and individuality of others.
Enhanced Communication Skills: Communicating is the basic principle of theatre. The curated workshop of theatre games is designed to empower your child to be an excellent communicator. They will develop the skill to articulate their ideas and feelings effectively.
Creative Minding: Improvisation and imaginative challenges encourage creative problem-solving and foster flexible thinking. Your child will develop the skills to tackle real-life situations with innovative solutions and adaptability.
Joy: Abundance of fun and bursts of laughter your child will embark on in this creative journey. Theatre games are not only educational but also a fantastic source of entertainment.

Julian Abraham “Togar”
2023-11-02 19:00 - 21:00 | SculptureCenter, 44-19 Purves Street, Long Island City, New York, 11101
Christian Nyampeta is an artist, musician, filmmaker, and writer. Nyampeta works in New York, London, the Netherlands, and Rwanda, where he convenes the Nyanza Working Group of ARAC—Another Roadmap School Africa Cluster. *This event coincides with the opening reception for "In Practice: Isabel Mallet." OK Studio Julian Abraham “Togar”’s ongoing "OK Studio" (2020–present) is the core of his exhibition at SculptureCenter. OK Studio describes both a physical place for music and events and a more theoretical space concerned with the function of art in imagining what to do with public space. Set up in SculptureCenter’s lower level galleries, it is a participatory environment that offers visitors the chance to “co-exercise, co-experiment, co-instigate, co-investigate, co-practice, co-produce, co-distribute” what can be learned through active listening. Since its informal beginnings, the project has organically evolved and transformed with each iteration, making the studio, in the artist’s words, “an instrument with its own potentiality.”
