Each session\, the group reads and discusses four writers’ submissions\, and for every piece\, the instructor prepares an individual craft lesson—the one element she believes will most help tha t piece take its next step forward. \nThis is workshopping in the traditio nal model\, with three things added. Every writer receives detailed\, line -level editing and concrete revision strategies. Feedback leads with stren gths\, naming what each piece is already doing well before offering where the greatest opportunity lies\, because writers revise most effectively fr om their best work\, and often don’t yet see what that is. Feedback is f ramed as craft questions—what is this scene asking for\, where does the work want to build—so that writers leave with direction they can act on. \nWeekly Structure\nEach class session will include:\n• Four custom cra ft lessons drawn from the pieces under discussion\, applicable to all\n• Collaborative workshopping of four participants’ submissions\n• Scene -writing practice and supportive read-alouds of new work\n• Q&A on craft and technique \nWhat Writers Will Gain\n• Personalized\, craft-based fe edback on their work in progress across the full term\n• Custom craft le ssons matched to each writer’s specific needs\n• Detailed\, line-level editing and clear\, actionable revision strategies \nCourse Outcome\nBy t he end of the term\, writers will have a confident sense of their strength s and their clearest opportunities to grow\, and a set of scene-writing to ols they can return to. They will also leave with a supportive community o f working writers and the accountability to keep going—carrying their pr oject forward with direction and momentum. \nAccess Program\nWe want our w riting classes and seminars to be accessible to everyone\, regardless of i ncome and background.

This interactive workshop gives you practical techniques to facilitate those m oments rather than dread them.\nIn this 90-minute\, in-person session at N orth Bank Innovations at The VIC\, members of the Pacific Northwest Facili tators Guild share their go-to methods for keeping tempers cool when hot t opics arise. Through hands-on exercises and group discussion\, you'll focu s on group facilitation (team meetings\, cross-functional discussions\, le adership off-sites)\, not one-on-one conflict resolution.\n\nYou'll leave with several facilitation techniques for cooling down high-stakes group co nversations\, plus a simple plan for trying at least one of them out in a meeting sometime in the next two weeks.\n\nABOUT THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST FAC ILITATORS GUILD\nThe PNWFG is a professional collective of independent fac ilitators and small firms serving Oregon and Washington. The Guild exists because organizations in this region deserve better access to skilled faci litation when it matters most: the high-stakes conversations\, the stalled innovations\, the cross-functional tangles\, the decisions that keep gett ing deferred. Members bring a range of methodologies and deep experience.\ n\nPlease RSVP and let us know if your plans change\, so we can plan accor dingly.\n\nTags: portland design thinkers\, ux\, ux design\, professional networking\, community building\, communication\, meeting facilitation\n\n Imported from: http://calagator.org/events/1250482696 LAST-MODIFIED:20260904T000145Z LOCATION:North Bank Innovation at The VIC: 18110 SE 34th St. Suite #120\, Vancouver WA 98583 United States URL:https://www.meetup.com/portland-design-thinkers/events/316273505/?utm_ source=caldiscovery&utm_medium=ics&utm_campaign=portland-or X-SOURCE-NAME:Calagator X-SOURCE-URL:https://calagator.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Exploit Workshop DTSTART:20260924T013000Z DTEND:20260924T053000Z DTSTAMP:20260820T121440Z UID:occurrence-1106@events.pdxhackerspace.org CATEGORIES:education,tech DESCRIPTION:Exploit Workshop is the weekly computer security meetup at CTR L-H: an open\, self driven event for people interested in computer securit y.
