SUMMARY:Book Club: Factfulness
DESCRIPTION:INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER \nInspiring and revelatory\, filled with lively anecdotes and moving stories\, Factfulness is an urgent and essential book that will change the way you see the world and empower you to respond to the crises and opportunities of the future. \n“One of the most important books I’ve ever read―an indispensable guide to thinking clearly about the world.” – Bill Gates \n“Hans Rosling tells the story of ‘the secret silent miracle of human progress’ as only he can. But Factfulness does much more than that. It also explains why progress is so often secret and silent and teaches readers how to see it clearly.” ―Melinda Gates \n“Factfulness by Hans Rosling\, an outstanding international public health expert\, is a hopeful book about the potential for human progress when we work off facts rather than our inherent biases.” – Former U.S. President Barack Obama \nJoin us in person to discuss this masterpiece! \nEvent host: Sejung Jang \nbookclub@siwakorea.com \nNote: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.

Mothers can earn money by working at the cafe and learning how to run a business; they receive job training\, counselling\, and group homes. \nThe mothers run their own cafe serving delicious coffee\, tea\, and dessert. Please join us on the visit to the cafe to support the mothers and their babies and learn more about the special work/project ESWS does to support the moms and their babies.

SUMMARY:Book Club: "ELIZABETH IS MISSING"
DESCRIPTION:Winner of the Costa First Novel Award and now a Masterpiece film starring Glenda Jackson  \nIn this darkly riveting debut novel—a sophisticated psychological mystery that is also an heartbreakingly honest meditation on memory\, identity\, and aging—an elderly woman descending into dementia embarks on a desperate quest to find the best friend she believes has disappeared\, and her search for the truth will go back decades and have shattering consequences. \n“[A] knockout debut…. Ms. Healey’s audacious conception and formidable talent combine in a bravura performance that sustains its momentum and pathos to the last.” — Wall Street Journal \n“Not only have we several genres in the one novel\, we have two main themes. How it feels to experience dementia\, and a page-turner of a detective story. If I had to describe it in one word\, it would be beautiful. It is a gripping thriller\, but it’s also about life and love: the love of an exasperated daughter for her mother; the love of sisters and of friends and the love I felt for Maud.” — The Independent (London) \nJoin us in person to discuss this gripping thriller! \nEvent host: Sejung Jang \nbookclub@siwakorea.com \nNote: BC events are exclusively for SIWA members.

SUMMARY:NFTs in the fashion realm
DESCRIPTION:“NFTs in the fashion realm – the world beyond digital art ” tech-talk and wine with Carolina Rios at Le Moulin Seorae \nSince the sale of the first NFT for only $4 in 2014 during a live presentation at the New Museum in New York City\, the so-called Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) market reached $16 billion in valuations\, while statistics expect the industry to amount to $122 billion by 2028. \nNFTs are digital tokens that prove the ownership of an asset\, which is also in the digital space. Nowadays in the fashion industry NFTs embody the hottest commodities\, reconstructing the paradigm between tech innovation\, sustainability\, and style\, blurring the boundaries between real and virtual interactions with textures\, garments\, and accessories. \nMainstream interest in NFTs elevated the market growth of the fashion industry by 21\,000% in 2021. From Louis Vuitton to Gucci\, Dolce & Gabbana and Burberry to Coach\, Mango\, Nike\, and Adidas\, fashion brands do not cease to invest and explore ventures in this virtual space to introduce NFTs across their product ranges\, marketing campaigns\, and customer experience. \nClearly NFTs have exploded in popularity\, but what’s all the hype about NFTs? What financial and social value makes NFTs so attractive to be nominated as the “Big Thing” of the decade? \n  \n \nOur guest speaker Carolina Rios will navigate you into the world of this provocative tech field and business field. She will explain  the application of NFTs to the fashion industry and some of the economic\, social\, and environmental incentives behind NFTs in fashion\, one of the coolest emerging trends in the blockchain ecosystem. \n  \nCarolina\, a former SIWA leader\, is currently the director of partnerships at Klaytn\, the blockchain initiative of Kakao Corporation\, where she supports the global expansion efforts to the markets in Europe\, USA and Latin American markets. \n  \nJoin us for this informative  tech-talk while enjoying a casual dinner with a few glasses of wine at the Le Moulin Seorae.  The ticket price includes set menu dinner with 3 glasses of french wine. In case if you wish to order on top of that\, you can do it at your own expense. \nThis event is open to members and non-members. \nNote: Pre-registration and payment is required by midnight September 15\, 2022. \nEvent Host: Sunghwa Han\, SIWA president  \npresident@siwakorea.com \n  \nVenue: Le Moulin Seorae \n17\, Sapyeong-daero 22-gil\, Seocho-gu\, Seoul 06576 South Korea \n서울 서초구 사평대로22길 17 지하1층 \nNavermap link: http://naver.me/IDSk31IL
