Arts & Crafts Shows

La plupart des entrepreneurs perdent des mois… sur des questions qui pourraient être réglées en 20 minutes de conversation. → Un financement mal compris. → Un produit mal structuré. → Un projet mal organisé. Alors on a créé un format simple au Comptoir **[Avalon](https://www.linkedin.com/company/avalon-france/)** : **L'APERO DE L'INNOVATION** Une soirée où des experts viennent simplement s’asseoir à une table et répondre aux questions des entrepreneurs. Ce mois-ci : 💰 **Financement bancaire** — avec **[Guillaume VILA](https://www.linkedin.com/in/guillaume-vila/)** et **[Hugo Labbé](https://www.linkedin.com/in/hugolabbe/)** de la banque **[Banque Populaire Rives de Paris](https://www.linkedin.com/company/banque-populaire-rives-de-paris/)** Pour comprendre ce que les banques regardent vraiment dans un projet. 🚀 **Prêts d’honneur** — avec **[Valentin Chouzet](https://www.linkedin.com/in/valentin-chouzet-a38463212/)** de **[PIE (France Active Paris | Réseau Initiative Paris)](https://www.linkedin.com/company/pie-paris-initiative-entreprise-/)** Parce qu’un financement non dilutif peut parfois être le coup d’accélérateur dont un projet a besoin. ⚙️ **Tech & produit** — avec **[Pierre Trouvé](https://www.linkedin.com/in/pierre-trouv%C3%A9-026a1827/)** du startup studio @matterstech Pour parler produit, roadmap et décisions techniques. 🧠 **Organisation & pilotage** — avec **[Sylvain Ramaradjou](https://www.linkedin.com/in/sylvain-ramaradjou/)**, ambassadeur **[Notion](https://www.linkedin.com/company/notionhq/)** Parce que beaucoup d’entreprises ralentissent simplement par manque de structure. Le principe est simple : Tu viens avec tes questions. Tu prends un verre. Et la discussion est lancée. Et oui, c’est en accès libre. 📅 Jeudi 16 avril 🕘 18h – 21h 📍 Le Comptoir Avalon, 202 av. Jean Jaurès, Paris 19 Les meilleures opportunités commencent souvent autour d’un verre. En savoir plus : [www.avalon.fr](https://www.avalon.fr)

(en) Artists of Belleville will open their doors! The occasion for us to discover diverse works with the people who made them, in exceptional places that are seldom open. There are tons of things to see but I've picked some ateliers that you'll love and that are close by each other. It will have to be a small group because we'll enter small spaces, so please be sure and sign up only if you're sure you're coming. This is a pay-as-you-will event. I think it's worth at least 20€. This event will last between 2 and 3 hours, depending on whether you'd like to chat with all artists or not. We'll end close by metro station Belleville. (fr) Les artistes du quartier Belleville nous ouvrent leurs portes ! L'occasion de découvrir des œuvres diverses en compagnie des artistes qui les ont créées et dans des lieux exceptionnels et rarement ouverts au public. Il y a énormément de choses à voir mais j'ai sélectionné quelques ateliers que vous allez adorer et qui sont assez proches les uns des autres. Le groupe sera forcément petit parce qu'on entrera dans de petits lieux. Donc, merci de ne vous inscrire que si vous êtes sûr.e de venir. Prix libre. Suggéré : 20€. Liquide ou Wero. On mettra 2 ou 3h, selon que vous ayez envie de parler avec tous les artistes ou pas. Et on finira près du métro Belleville.

Let's meet to practice Taiji Pushhands! You can suggest drills and exercices or I can also suggest to try a few things. As I am starting to develop some sensitivity to different qualities of touch and weight balance, I wish to further explore by practicing push hands with different partners of all levels and all styles (Bagua, Taichi, Yiquan, Aikido...), in a gentle, soft, and non-competitive way. Just having fun exploring what happens, what works and what doesn't. Noticing what's not working also helps moving forward in the right direction towards the real and surprising skills of internal arts I only have a few years experience of Taichichuan. There is a nice garden near Republique when we could meet to practice during the week at lunchtime, if that time slot suits you. Thanks!
