While thinking of ways I can enrich my local community, I figured I should host cookouts/potlucks as a venue to share some useful stuff with the world. I want to cover things like degoogling, basic computer skills, etc. as that’s where my skill set is primarily, but I plan to host guest “host’s” to cover a wider breadth of knowledge.
If you were one of my neighbors, what would you like to see covered or cover yourself?
Food preservation! Canning, fermenting, dehydrating.
Canning is a bit daunting at first, and you need some space in your kitchen. But fermenting is literally salt + water in a jar, uses no energy (unlike freezing or boiling), and you can do just one small jar with the half-onion that would otherwise die a slow death in your fridge, or three gallons with the squash that was on sale.MLM sales pitches.
Brilliant. I’ll set up some devil corp calls today!
Financial literacy, primarily how to live within or below your means.
Fantastic idea. I’m always blown away when I see someone learn about a HYSA for the first time!
Thank you for your thoughts. Hope it helps.
Everything I could a absorb around (cellular) telecommunications or railways (not necessarily just the trains themselves).
Tons of public transport in my city, could be fun!
Start with a potluck to get to know people
I’m going to caution you to be subtle about this. Appointing yourself teacher is never a great look.
