PANDEMONIUM U: Free Zoom classes taught by world-class experts
How does it work?
We host classes several times per month, usually on Fridays at noon NY time. Just check the schedule on this website or subscribe to our newsletter, and show up for any class. Connect via this Zoom link. Listen/watch/learn, then ask questions in chat. Each class lasts about 50 minutes.
Are the classes recorded?
Yes, you can watch past classes here.
Can I invite others?
Sure, feel free to post/share/etc. Please subscribe to our YouTube channel and follow us on Instagram and Facebook.
Why is it so French?
We try to bring you the interesting people and ideas that cross our paths. Since we live in Paris, some of these are (inevitably) related to France.
Why is it free?
We launched PAN U as a public service at the start of the pandemic. All speakers and organizers are volunteers, and many Friends of PAN U (FOPU's) have kindly donated their time and expertise. PAN U's volunteer webmaster Chris Thomas created and maintains this site. Tala Schlossberg designed our logo, based on a Paris street mural by 2shywashere. Merci!
Can I chip in anyway, as an individual?
If you've enjoyed PANDEMONIUM U please consider making a donation to the Africa section of our favorite charity, GiveDirectly.org. Many thanks to those who have already donated.
I've got thoughts. How do I reach you?
Our email is PandemoniumU2021@gmail.com.
See you in class!
