From Networking and Language Exchange
4.8

This is a 3 phase meetup. You can come at any time. 1.) 6:30 - 7:00 p.m.: Gathering at the meeting spot (see link and photo!). 2.) 7:00 - 7:30 p.m.: Walk & Talk through Tiergarten. 3.) 7:30 - 10:00 p.m.: Immerse conversations in the Zollpackhof beer garden (reserved tables for the meetup). **1.) Meeting spot is Henriette Herz Park.** Copy the coordinates into your maps app: **52°30'38.9"N 13°22'24.1"E** The exact meeting spot can also be seen in the photo depicted below (see red arrow). Look for a meetup sign or organizer wearing a black or red lanyard with "staff" written on it. **Best ways to get there:** 1\. S\-Bahn: Get off at Potsdamer Platz by S1, S2 or S25 and walk to the designated meeting spot. 2\. U\-Bahn \(subway\): Alternatively you can get off at Potsdamer Platz by U2 and just walk 5 min straight to the park. 3\. Bus: If you change at mainstation you can take the M41 or M85 to S Potsdamer Platz /Voßstr. and walk to the park. **2.) Walk & Talk through Tiergarten** (the best part imho). During these weird times it essential to connect with nature and like minded people. You will feel instantly energized and an inner calmness afterwards. **3.) How to the find the Zollpackhof beer garden:** https://goo.gl/maps/vDYYaJcFvTmd7hei7 Elisabeth-Abegg-Straße 1, 10557 Berlin We will be sitting outside. Click the gmaps link with the exact meeting spot if you can can't find us! If you enter from the Magnus-Hirschfeld-Ufer, just go to the left part of the beer garden where the self-service is. If you enter from Elisabeth-Abegg-Str, enter the beer garden from the right. *Who is this meetup for:* 1\. Asians who want to practice German and/or English\. 2\. German speaking individuals who are studying \(preferably\) Japanese\, Korean\, Mandarin or Cantonese\. 3\. Anyone who is interested in cultural exchange and wants to socialize\. *What you can expect:* 1\. A professionally organized meetup that can adapt to any changes given the current situation\. 2\. A Walk & Talk to break the ice\. 3\. A collaborating venue where you can further socialize with other members\. *important: This event is at the same time and meeting location like the "Networking & Language Exchange - international" one. So I'm basically organizing 2 events at the same time which means that you can expect way more people than on the list.* *** Whenever you attend a meetup, the most common as well as first question you get is: "Where are you from?" You probably heard this question a million times. Well, at least I did. From my own experience of attending over 200 international meetups in various countries such as Germany, Japan, Australia and Thailand, I can tell you that asking for the name is a better approach. “A person’s name is to that person, the sweetest, most important sound in any language.” - Dale Carnegie If you really want to connect with like-minded people you should remember their name, but you don't have to remember every persons name you've talked you. Be picky about that, don't be me who can somehow remember everyones name easily. Don't tell yourself sth. like "I'm bad at remembering names." It's all about developing the habit of asking for a name and keep the conversation going on. Furthermore, you want to learn German or any other language. Learning the local language is crucial to connect with the locals and developing a true friendship. This can be accomplished with immersion. My goal is to inspire you to go out of your comfort zone and improve yourself each time you join this meetup.

🎉 2nd Anniversary Picnic – Two Fantastic Folding Years 🧺

🎉 2nd Anniversary Picnic – Two Fantastic Folding Years 🧺

Sun, Aug 23, 1:00 PM
From Origami Crafters in Berlin
4.9

In late August 2024, a tiny Berlin origami meetup quietly came to life... Since then, hundreds of folds, chats, experiments, collaborations, and spontaneous moments later… here we are marching towards our **SECOND anniversary** already!! 🤩 To mark this occasion, we are gonna throw a relaxed summer celebration at **Volkspark Friedrichshain**, powered by sunshine, blankets, snacks and good vibes!! 🧺☀️ The final location is not yet finalised, but the spirit of the day is simply bringing people together and celebrating the past two years together! 🤗 A simple agenda for your reference: 1. **Bring and share whatever you like** – food, drinks, cutlery, music gears, card games, or extra paper. No rules – the sky is the limit! 2. **Gather and set up a cozy picnic spot together** – if you own a picnic blanket, please bring one along! 3. **A moment to look back & ahead** – community storytelling, memories and reflections, hopes for the year ahead (surprises and chaos might be included, but that's part of the fun, right? 👀) 4. **(Optional) Origami show time** – bring your favorite model, tell us the story behind it, share folding tips and/or replicas with the group! And truly: thank you for helping shape this community into such a welcoming, creative, and alive little corner of Berlin. Every person who attended an event, taught a fold, hosted a meetup, helped newcomers, or simply spent an afternoon folding with us became part of this story. More details coming soon — but for now, save some space in your calendar for a very special summer gathering 🥳 Warm greetings to each and everyone of you, Shiyi

From JAPANESE CULTURE CLUB
4.8

Entdecken Sie die faszinierende Welt der japanischen Kalligraphie! Alles, was Sie brauchen, steht bereit – kommen Sie einfach vorbei und genießen Sie die kreative Auszeit. Die japanische Kalligraphie wurde im 6. Jahrhundert aus China nach Japan überliefert und entwickelte dort einen eigenen Stil. Sie wird bis heute als Kunstform und als Weg zu Konzentration und innerer Ruhe geschätzt. In unserem Workshop üben wir verschiedene Kanji und gestalten daraus eigene kleine Kunstwerke, die Sie anschließend mit nach Hause nehmen können. Wir freuen uns auf Sie und wünschen viel Freude beim Entdecken dieser besonderen japanischen Kunst! Explore the fascinating world of Japanese calligraphy! Everything you need is provided, so just come along and enjoy a relaxing creative experience. Japanese calligraphy was introduced from China in the 6th century and later developed its own distinctive style in Japan. Even today, it is appreciated as both an art form and a way to cultivate concentration and inner calm. In this workshop, we will practice writing various kanji and turn them into small works of art that you can take home with you. We look forward to welcoming you and hope you enjoy discovering this Japanese art! 書道のワークショップを開催します。 皆さんと楽しく練習して、最後には作品が作れればと思っています。 道具もすべてこちらで準備していますのでぜひご参加ください!
