15 years of Berlin Hikers - Baltic coast

Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily

The Language Café is primarily aimed at people who are struggling with their mental health which can make it hard to go to regular courses. We want to create a safe space for everyone to learn and practise without pressure. Everyone is welcome! Please be on time so we can all get started together :) We mainly practise on a beginner/lower intermediate level and adapt to everyone's prior level of German. The Language Café will focus on teaching you the most important words and phrases and basic grammar in German. The content of the course is adapted to real life. (everyday life in Germany, dealing with authorities, etc.) We will cover different topics every week and you can join us anytime, since the topics do not necessarily build on each other. The Sprachcafé is for free. \*If you cannot make it please cancel your participation so someone else from the waiting list can join, thank you!\* \| \| \| \|

PAINTING THE SEA IN WATERCOLOR

Water is one of the most fascinating — and often intimidating — subjects to paint in watercolor. In this four-hour workshop, you’ll discover that painting the sea doesn’t have to be complicated. Together we’ll explore how watercolor naturally creates the transparency, movement and softness that make oceans so captivating. You’ll learn professional techniques step by step while creating your own finished seascape. The workshop is limited to ten participants, allowing plenty of time for personal feedback and individual support. ### During this workshop you’ll learn how to: * paint realistic and expressive waves; * create depth and transparency in water; * mix harmonious ocean color palettes; * create movement using watercolor washes; * build a painting from the first sketch to the final details. Along the way you’ll gain a deeper understanding of watercolor itself, making future landscapes much easier to paint. Your ticket includes: * all professional watercolor materials; * individual guidance throughout the workshop; * a digital workbook with recommendations for watercolor materials, paper, brushes, paints, and the essential techniques covered during the class; * coffee, tea and light refreshments; * your finished watercolor painting to take home. This workshop is perfect if you: * love the sea and dream of painting it; * already paint a little but struggle with water and waves; * want to build confidence with watercolor techniques; * enjoy spending an afternoon immersed in creativity; * are looking for a calm and inspiring weekend experience. Beginners are very welcome, and participants with previous watercolor experience will also discover new techniques and approaches. **TICKETS** Important: Please book your ticket in advance with Jenny Andreeva. You can find the ticket shop and more information about her workshop and practice here on her website: [https://andreeva.gallery/watercolor-sea](https://andreeva.gallery/watercolor-sea)

No-Pressure International Parents Meetup

Let's be honest: as a parent, socializing isn't exactly easy. Making plans is hard. Keeping them is harder. So let's make it simple: the little energy volcanoes can erupt together, while the exhausted ones (we) just chill and chat (or at least try to) The plan is to meet at the Alter Spielplatz von Janosch ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/8HGXYoEsj4GjLFyG9?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/8HGXYoEsj4GjLFyG9?g_st=ac)) and, once it's too cold outside), maybe go to either the Café Kiezkind Berlin ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/PMFqwUK84kRxZPjz8?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/PMFqwUK84kRxZPjz8?g_st=ac)) or Kindercafé Spielzimmer ([https://maps.app.goo.gl/TMKbjia2Bq52xyut9?g_st=ac](https://maps.app.goo.gl/TMKbjia2Bq52xyut9?g_st=ac)) Kids are unpredictable. If you arrive late, leave early, cancel at the last minute, or only manage one conversation before heading home—that's completely normal. But do register if you think you'll likely show up

Silent Reading Club

Ditch the old book club, where everyone has to read the same book...this is better! It works like this: Bring your own book. Come chat, have some tea or coffee, get to know your neighbors. Then we quietly read together, side by side, for about one hour, each one reading their own book, and afterwards we talk with each other about what we are reading. The usual agenda: - Arrival and introduction (~20 minutes) - ⁠Silent reading (~1 hour) - ⁠Discussion (~30-40 minutes) - ⁠Join us for a bite at a local restaurant afterwards, if you like! You may read in any language, you may read any book. We are a group of international residents of Berlin from many different countries, of all ages, and we converse in English. We welcome you! No registration needed – the event is donation based. All funds support the Offenes Wohnzimmer.
