Planning Parental Leave in Tech
Planning to go on parental leave while working in tech? You probably have a ton of questions, and we will do our best to get you answers.
Whether you're expecting, currently on leave, planning ahead or wanting to support your teammates, navigating parental leave comes with a lot of new challenges.
Technical careers require us to stay up to date and living in Germany adds another layer of bureaucratic hurdles to the mix.
To help you feel more prepared, we have selected panelists who've been through it and will share their experiences openly: what worked, what surprised them, and what they wish they'd known.
We'll cover the practical and bureaucratic side, the career side, and we'll reserve time for your questions.

Design Your Own Crystal Scented Candle 26.05
Create the candle of your dreams in this premium scented candle workshop in Berlin, where creativity, sustainability, and craftsmanship come together. Hosted inside the Galleria Lucia Atelier, this immersive experience takes place in a historic artist building - a former factory now home to painters, designers, and makers. It's not a showroom or an office, but a real working candle atelier where so many candles come to life.
During the workshop, you'll design a fully customized scented candle from start to finish. Choose your candle jar color, painted with sustainable, dishwasher-safe paints and designed to last up to 500 washes. Once your candle is finished, the glass can be reused as a drinking glass - making it both beautiful and responsible.
Select from a curated range of premium fragrance oils, choose wax colors, finishes, and add natural crystals for a truly personal touch. You'll also create your own custom label, making each candle a one-of-a-kind piece.
While you create, enjoy complimentary refreshments and learn expert tips on how to choose sustainable candles in the future and care for your candles so they burn cleaner and last longer.
Surrounded by hundreds of candles and the authentic atmosphere of a Berlin candle atelier, this workshop offers a rare behind-the-scenes look into small-scale candle making - creative, intimate, and unforgettable.
**Les Amis** is a women-only community of friendly souls. We provide access to hundreds of experiences that explore your passions and connect you with other event participants. **Check our website to learn more, and apply to join our community and events**: [lesamis.cc/apply](https://www.lesamis.cc/apply)
Offener Deutschunterricht - Text & Konversation - Niveau B2+ (Fortgeschritten)
In diesem Kurs beschĂ€ftigen wir uns mit verschiedenen Texten aus unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Das können u.a. kurze Geschichten, Gedichte, Zeitungsartikel, Kolumnen oder Videos sein. Immer sind es Themen, die uns gefallen, die wir besonders interessant, wichtig oder manchmal auch richtig schlecht finden. Gemeinsam versuchen wir die Position der Autor*in, den Stil und die Argumentationsstruktur zu verstehen. Dazu diskutieren wir ĂŒber das, was wir verstehen, welche Meinung wir zu dem Thema haben oder welche Fragen offen bleiben.â©Gerne könnt ihr uns auch ThemenvorschlĂ€ge mitbringen oder zuschicken.âšDer Kurs richtet sich an interessierte Menschen mit einem B2-Niveau (oder so Ă€hnlich), die Lust haben sich weiter mit der deutschen Sprache zu beschĂ€ftigen und ihren Wortschatz zu erweitern.âšDie Termine sind sporadisch.
Ultimate Frisbee in the Park - sunset sparkle
Hi everyone. We'll meet and play a relaxed game of ultimate in Volkspark Rehberge if the weather cooperates.
Our games focus on having great team play, where the teams work together to advance the disk down the field. It's more important to work well together as a team than have a few star players get a point with lucky shots. For this reason, players of all skill levels (especially those who have never played) are welcome to join
Bring plenty of water, shoes you can run in and comfortable clothing that can get a bit dirty.
Although we're an established group, newcomers are always welcome.
After the game we try to spend some time together and have fun.
Finding us: We meet in this big grassy area, it's a short bike ride from the subway stop Rehberge on the U6 or Amrumer Strasse on the U9. It can be a bit tricky to find the first time, so we've got a few methods to help out (don't trust the meetup map pin, it often shows some point in the park, not the exact spot where we are)
1. GPS: 52°32'54.9"N 13°19'51.0"E ; 52.548581, 13.330842

*This event may also be photographed and/or video-recorded, and published on social media channels such as meetup and eventbrite.*
*By participating, you acknowledge and accept the risk of injury while playing Ultimate. Although adherence to the rules, proper equipment, and common sense reduce this risk, the risk of serious injury does exist; and, you willingly and freely assume all such risks.*
Sonne & Tiefe
Tolle Berlinerinnen und Berliner,
als ich schreibe, sitze ich im Wald zwischen Buchen und Eichen auf meinem Campingstuhl und genieĂe die Ruhe des Sonnenlichts.
Suchst du nach Freiheit von dem LĂ€rm der Szene, LĂ€rm der Stadt? Möchtest du BrĂŒcken mit interkulturellen, diversen Leuten aufbauen?
Dieses Jahr möchte ich unbedingt neue Leute, die Tiefe und Empathie haben kennenlernen. Diesen Leuten meine Zeit geben, und gegenseitige Freundschaften hoffentlich aufbauen.
Selbst glaube ich, dass MĂ€dels und Jungs einander nicht verstehen können, wenn der Sinn von einer Person 100% einer Geschlecht ist und die Person keines der Geschlecht gegenĂŒber kennt. Idealerweise sollte der Sinn 50/50 weiblich/mĂ€nnlich sein, dass wir uns gegenseitig ideal verstehen können.
Selbst bin ich KĂŒnstler, der sich fĂŒr Farbphysik (Colour Phenomena) interessiert. Zum Beispiel ein roses Kirschbaum in der blauen morgen Stunde. Oder blaue BĂ€ume im Licht eines bedeckten Sommer Tag, auch wenn jeder glaubt, dass man sachlich weiĂ, âBĂ€umen sind grĂŒn!â
Colour sind, glaube ich, hauptsĂ€chlich weibliche PhĂ€nomene. Und als KĂŒnstler empfand ich seit langem eine AffinitĂ€t fĂŒr Colour.
Das Bild oben ist ein Kunstwerk von mir.
Ich möchte die ruhigen Leuten erreichen, also der Treff ist entweder Online, per Signal Messenger (Link zur Gruppe im Kommentar; nur fĂŒr Teilnehmer der Veranstaltung sichtbar) um neue Verbindungen leicht zu machen, oder auch sogar besser persönlich, wenn du dich spontan unterwegs sein will und persönlich treffen will.
Wenn du mich persönlich triffst setzen wir uns auf eine Wiese, eventuell in der Wuhlheide, oder auf dem Tempelhofer Feld. Schick mir eine Nachricht vorher per Signal Gruppe und wir können uns vereinbaren.
Dieses merken: Bitte rauchen Sie bei dieser Veranstaltung nicht.
Ich freue mich neue Leute kennenzulernen!
Mit geschmackvollen GrĂŒĂen,
Duncan

Juega y socializa en español
ÂżTe apetece pasar una tarde agradable jugando a juegos de mesa y conociendo gente nueva en un ambiente relajado y cercano? Este encuentro estĂĄ pensado precisamente para eso: socializar, conectar y pasarlo bien, sin importar si ya conoces los juegos o si es tu primera vez en el grupo.
¿Qué tipo de juegos jugamos?
Elegimos juegos accesibles, dinĂĄmicos y sociales, no solo juegos largos o complicados. Por ejemplo:
Juegos rĂĄpidos y ligeros como 6 nimmt!, Love Letter o Sushi Go
Juegos de interacciĂłn y risas como Codenames, Dixit o Exploding Kittens
Juegos de deducciĂłn social como The Resistance, Salem o Werewolves
Y, si apetece, algĂșn juego un poco mĂĄs estratĂ©gico, siempre explicado con calma
No importa si es tu primera vez en el grupo: explicamos las reglas y elegimos juegos accesibles para que todo el mundo se sienta cĂłmodo desde el principio. El juego es solo la excusa para socializar y conectar de forma natural.
Un espacio seguro y diverso
Solemos ser un grupo diverso, abierto y con muy buen rollo, donde se respeta a todo el mundo. Queremos crear un entorno amable, sin juicios, en el que cualquiera pueda sentirse a gusto.
ïž En español (o para practicarlo)
Si hablas español o te apetece practicarlo en un entorno amable y natural, estarĂĄs mĂĄs que bienvenida/o. El grupo suele estar formado por personas de distintos orĂgenes y niveles, y la comunicaciĂłn fluye de manera relajada.
Si te apetece conocer gente de forma tranquila, sin presiĂłn y con los juegos como punto de encuentro, este plan es para ti.
ÂĄTe esperamos!
Nota: se solicitarå a los participantes una donación voluntaria de 2⏠para gastos de organización y compra de juegos.

Berlin Sprachcafé. Learn and practise German easily (A1-A2)
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 try to 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!\*

Sprachklub fĂŒr Russischlernende Nr. 118
Der Sprachklub bietet einen Raum, um Russisch in entspannter und freundlicher AtmosphĂ€re zu sprechen. Die Treffen ermöglichen nicht nur, vorhandene Kenntnisse zu festigen, sondern auch den Wortschatz durch lebendige GesprĂ€che und spannende Themen zu erweitern. Hier hat jeder die Möglichkeit, neue interessante Menschen kennenzulernen, eigene Erfahrungen zu teilen, und mehr ĂŒber die russische Kultur zu erfahren.
Das kommende Treffen des Sprachklubs widmet sich einem wichtigen Thema â der Arbeit, die einen groĂen Teil unseres Lebens ausmacht. Die Teilnehmenden werden verschiedene Aspekte diskutieren: die Berufswahl, die Balance zwischen Beruf und Privatleben sowie Chancen der beruflichen Weiterentwicklung in unterschiedlichen Bereichen. Es erwarten die Teilnehmenden spannende GesprĂ€che: sowohl ĂŒber den Traumjob als auch ĂŒber die Herausforderungen des Arbeitsalltags. AuĂerdem machen die Teilnehmenden sich mit den Bezeichnungen verschiedener Berufe vertraut und ĂŒben die Anwendung der Feminitiven â dabei können mitunter ĂŒberraschende Ergebnisse entstehen.

Origami CATalogue at a cat cafĂ© đ
For the first time in its almost two years of history, Origami Crafters in Berlin goes into a **cat cafĂ©**! Actual cats will be around to witness our folding efforts.*đđââŹ*
And what could be more appropriate to fold there than **cats** themselves? We might also add **mice** to the folding menu, depending on your appetite (and so to say, our origami cats' appetite too). đșđ
We invite you to join us at the very centrally located **Katzentempel** (S+U Friedrichstrasse) to fold a feline cat-alogue while enjoying the company of real cats roaming around.
What you can expect in our events:
* **Mandatory donation (amount of your choice)** â this supports essential costs like the Meetup subscription and keeps our community thriving. đ± You can either submit a physical donation to the event host in person or make a digital donation [here](https://paypal.me/origamiberlin?locale.x=de_DE&country.x=DE) (and inform the host afterwards).
* **Please order at least one drink/snack** to support Katzentempel for hosting us!
* **In-person folding practice for all levels** â beginners and experienced folders are equally welcome.
* **Origami paper + model instructions will be provided** (from the hostâs collection, for reference only). Feel free to bring your own favorite sheets or tools!
* **Photos may be taken** for memories & our archive (Meetup, Instagram, Telegram) â let the host know if you prefer not to appear.
â ïž **RSVP Policy â Please Read** â ïž
Our community has grown a lot since its birth in August 2024, which is amazing â but it also means we need to handle RSVPs more carefully:
* Please cancel your spot or contact the host directly (via Meetup message function or our [Telegram channel](https://t.me/+T4URs80l2ig3NWNi)) if you can't make it last minute.
* Members with **2 no-shows** (without notice) will be removed from the group unless a valid reason is provided.
Thank you for helping us keep Origami Crafters Berlin respectful, reliable, and fun! đ Get in touch if you have questions anytime and see you all at the folding tables very soon! âïž
Let's Meet Up and Practice Languages
(Outside event) Are you learning a language but can't find people to practice with? Do you enjoy helping people speak your native language? If so, meet with us to make friends and have some good conversations.
We begin by sharing the languages we speak fluently and the ones we are learning. Then we split into groups and speak! You can switch groups as often as you'd like. The goal is to speak about interesting, thought-provoking topics - not just the typical introductions we usually make.
At our last meetups we spoke: German, Ukranian, English, French, Hebrew, Russian, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, Greek, Japanese, Korean, Turkish, Polish, Swedish, Arabic, Norwegian, Icelandic, and Dutch. Can you help us make this list bigger? We hope to see you there and welcome ANY and ALL languages. (However, we cannot guarantee we will have a speaking partner for all languages).
Looking forward to see you all! đ
