February 2021 Updates

Please enjoy a picture of different public toilet options from a 2017 conference in Galway, Ireland. Thanks to Daryl A. for the fun share! 

We at FLUSH are happy to have you continue our journey as we build out our activities and content for future events and fun!
We have no new classes scheduled, but we will if you ask. ;-)
Below we have shared details from old events and upcoming events. Also, want to share a story about toilets in our blog? Let us know!

Mar 4th: Loo Book Club
FREE EVENT!
FLUSH teamed up with the Rich Earth Institute and The POOP Project to launch a new book club to talk about sanitation reads. It will be at 7pm EST - if that time doesn't work for you, we can explore options!

Sanitation & Data Recaps
In January, we had a great talk about our two favorite things: toilets and numbers!
We put together a brief summary of the great panel we co-hosted to talk about the importance of data in improving sanitation behavior changes.
It includes a recording of the event and some practical tips.

Content Testing @ UConn
This month, FLUSH began teaching a five-week course at the University of Connecticut's OSHER program. 
There, we're testing out longer materials around the history of toilets with retired professionals and getting feedback from them. This will help us build longer classes, and maybe some future non-fiction books for the general public!

FLUSH has a new contract with PQMD! We are building monitoring tools with their emergency hygiene kitting coalition.
