Hi!
We'll be holding rounds of "introduction to EA" talks in Sweden this summer. Does anyone know if there are scripts and/or slides (in English, or alternatively in Swedish, if available) that have already been developed that we could go off of? And is there someone here with experience with giving introductory talks that would be willing to give some tips and pointers? Would be super appreciated!
Hello! The EA Hub has some scripts and slides in English: https://resources.eahub.org/events/intro/
Try contacting a staff member from the Groups Team, e.g. Catherine Low, for tips and pointers: https://www.centreforeffectivealtruism.org/team/
