My first series of workshops has been announced! Posters are up, as is my enthusiasm. Let the learning experiences begin!
First of all, I already know that I made too many posters. Funny, when I'm walking around town, I feel bombarded by visual advertising and yet when I walked around trying to find appropriate places to put up my poster, I found them lacking!
Secondly, I chose to make my posters in English despite its minority status here in Montreal. I did this because the book Simplicity Parenting, is still not available in French for the time being. The parent group in which I participated was primarily in English, but francophones were welcome and participated in whatever language was the most comfortable for them at the given moment. I plan to do the same and I do invite the French-speakers specifically in a small paragraph at the bottom left of the poster. Nonetheless, I have been turned down twice to put up my poster because it was in English. I am going to work on a French version this weekend, at least to be able to furnish a home-printed version if necessary.
I now have ten brand new beautiful copies of Simplicity Parenting just waiting for their new owners. Exciting!
